Have you tried Google Earth? I just had a look at NZ with it. The Aukland area is very detailed (next to the Harbour Bridge are many little boats sailing on the water :)) and the rest should be detailed enough to get a position that you can fine tune in the FGFS scenery. The Queenstown runway is e.g. many pixels long and even a "town" like Tapanui covers quite a few pixels (you can even see the main road). Oh, IIRC, Te Papa should be quite easy to model. And the Beehive could work when you can get a photo of it and create a texture out of that. The geometry would be just a cone then. > That's my return ramble....
