Perhaps a silly question but I had to ask. Are there any sources of expired NZ Sectional or WAC charts - strictly for FS or other 'non-operational' use.

Try asking any air operator.

are you after IFR enroute charts? I dont mind taking a picture of mine if you want. I would scan but the scanner isn't playing happy at this stage.

Appreciate the offer but strictly VFR for now.

Righto, theres about 20 maps all A1 in size so digitalising and sending full set isn't going to be done by me sorry. There are two scales for VFR navigation, 1:250,000 and 1:500,000. To be honest due to the nature of flight sim scenery, even with payware like VLC, you aren't going to benefit from 1:250,000 maps just due to the not quite perfect scenery in FSX.
