Hi Craig, "Scenery" can be divided up into three components; terrain, land-cover and objects. I have largely concentrated on objects, as Fred and Martin are focusing on the terrain and land-cover and development in those areas is in a very "fluid" state, I look forward to getting back into those areas as the direction looks to have great potential.
If you looked at the URL I posted, you can see what can be achieved with standard terrain and land-cover and adding "generic" objects. The AI models of the Picton ferries, while not perfect, are nice eye-candy if you're in the right place at the right time. Any NZ specific models you want to contribute with lat/long, I am more than happy to play around and get them placed in the existing 0.9.10 scenery. I am also more than happy to talk you through how to place models yourself. If you want to pursue this, contact me directly. It's not a good idea to clog up the list with such specific communication. It's really good to make contact with another FG-Kiwi-User... look forward to working with you to enhance the FG-NZ experience.
