Pretty much, Charl, apart from some of the smaller islands - I haven't checked out NI thoroughly yet, but it looks good so far. Member 'perokee' did a SI mesh, and some nice photoscenery, with good water blending. Geoffkiwi has now done mesh for both NI and SI. You can see from my WIP stuff how much more work is needed - it means hand-editing almost every raw input tile, and since NZ has even more tiles than it has sheep, you can imagine it needs a lot of time.
A Level 9 tile is about a 50km square, so it won't be hard to do local ones, say, for centres like New Plymouth, Palmy North, Hamilton or Auckland and fill in the gaps later. Remember though, that whoever designed NZ wasn't thinking of us flight simmers
