Now that is a good idea! I have a touring map from a holiday there a few years ago with all the LOTR locations marked, I wonder where I put it...

You read my mind! Haven't ordered yet, going to order first of the new year but wanted to explore NZ in the same way.

I noticed the registration on the QANTAS NGX in the liveries section belongs to JetConnect. I'll be using it as I explore the South Island, even if it's not a real-world route.Luis Linares

Wellington airport is in the North Island. But it will be upgraded when they release North Island just like all the other airports like they did with the NA regions.

Hey all, this Orbx SI looks very nice, but in case you havent seen it check out the VectorLandclass (VLC) project which covers both the North and South islands on NZ, is very nicely done: http://www.vectorlandclass.co.nz/

Personal opinion and early days aside, I think this has done for VFR what the NGX did VFR. It really is stunningly good.

I just flew the Carenado 206 from Wanaka to view Mt Aspiring and then down to Glenorchy, retracing the steps of an amazing flight I did on honeymoon (as a passenger).Flying at 7,000 ft with broken cloud at 8,000 ft and 9,000ft+ peaks quickly stops being fun when you are not certain you are in the right valley. I don't think I have ever been as scared while flying FSX.

Good on ya Paul. Another one you could try is from NZHK to NZCH flying over Otira Gorge and arhturs pass. Flying low in the gorge would be enough to have a paper bag handy :)
