Some nice looking shots. Could this possibly be FTX for New Zealand? Definitely worth investigating further.

Not technically, because Orbx are working on their own FTX for NZ.

Thanks for the info Bill. I didn't for a second believe that this was an Orbx product, only that it seems to transform the landscape in a similar way. Excellent news that Orbx are working on their own product. Look forward to it.

VLC NZ looks great! Quick conversion - $65.00 NZ = $48.57 USD.

However, I think I'll wait for Orbx's NZ version. Then compare the two before buying.

You might be waiting a while - ORBX South Island is not due until 2011 and North Island I believe is due in 2012. VLC includes both the South and North Island. With that sort of gap I might end up getting both. It will be interesting to see what ORBX comes up with and what airports they are doing.

Im interested in anything right now that will improve Queenstown.

From the screenshots and videos I've seen, VLC still displays some of the aspects of default FS scenery that I hate - places where the ground looks smeared and blurred. Having said that, it's still a no-brainer - I want it and will get it, even though I also plan on getting the Orbx FTX versions of both North and South Islands when they're available. As far as I'm concerned, anyone who makes New Zealand scenery which has significant improvements over the default is making something I want ...
