HAMILTON Patched and works superbly in Orbx NZNI and city buildings added without the large area photo . The blend on the south eastern corner in the little
place called Mystery Creek and Waikato's agricultural venue ... also has a airstrip to show off AG aircraft .

I didn't think it would be possible but it is.......ORBX has outdone themselves with NZNI. NZNI is superb in FPS and quality. I highly recommend this scenery to everyone even with mid level systems like mine. I am getting 27FPs with no stutter at all. Thanks ORBX for another superb scenery. My wish would be to take this technology to your PNW to get the same FPS.
 
Captions please

Most probably will buy this scenery...looks beautifull. Will wait a few days for some more opinions...or just today...
BTW, went to Orbx site and had a look of screenshots. A sugestion...will it be to difficult to have a caption just to know what vulcanoe is that, or place, or nearby airport? direction? it would be so much easier to find the place if I want to fly there...beautifull shots, don't know where, how to get there, have to fly across all country :running:

Hey Mate, I think part of the fun with sceneries is the challenge of finding the treasures. Like, where is that baloon festival? It's a small country, you don't have to fly much to find things. ;-)
 
I have found the .KMZ file and Google Earth help greatly to pick out some sightseeing flights. With the right labels turned on it is amazing how accurate the scenery is. I have an iPad now and it comes in handy with this very thing.

Flying NZ is just about the most beautiful in FSX. P3D too!

That is the central North Island Volcanic region , Tongariro National park , Taupo being the closes Northern airport and Wanganui Southern and New Plymouth to the West , the latter is also in the shadow of Mount Taranaki (Egmont ) movie site of 'The last Samurai ' :wavey:

We had a little test with one scenery package with five off us in a M/play , Mike of www.fs-creations.org placed his photoreal Taupo airport in and it fitted absolutely perfect ! , more airports in the region to come .

Thank you for the link, Ian, I went to the site of FS-Creations and I bought ( with a very small price), downloaded and installed TaupoX and HamiltonX with the patches for NZNI.
It's really very pretty, a nice job :applause:
