Wondering if FS9 sceneries for the above have ever been released? I have searched for a while, but to no avail. Flew from Fox Glacier a couple of months, hence my asking. The central South Island West coast is a bit of a grey area as far as add-ons are concerned.

For FS9 I believe the Red Baron topo/landclass will put the glaciers in.....Ill see if I can rustle up a screenshot of the equivalent in FSX with the new Topo addon smile.gif

Should have been a bit clearer - I mean the small airfield that serve Fox, Franz Josef and Haast. Air Safaris and Mount Cook Skiplanes operate from Fox and Franz Josef (IIRC, there are two different airfields south of Franz Josef).

Oh right- To my knowledge the airfields haven't been done.

Here are some pics anyway (with some obvious issues with the autogen tree textures and underlying landclass here)

There were 2 sceneries done of NZFJ Franz Josef for FS9.

nzfj_v1.2.zip by Mike Walters.

Franz_Josef.zip by Hugh Palmer.

The 2nd one by Hugh Palmer is the better of the 2 in my humble opinion.

I do have a scenery under construction for NZHT Haast for FS9.

Thanks for your feedback!

@Lawrie:

Looking forward to your Haast scenery. Any chance you could hint me at a place from where I can download the Hugh Palmer scenery? I have googled for both files, but the results returned nothing or just dead links.
