'Supercity' is in the Godzone Store, currently bundled with Southern Lakes for $5.

Real NZ Wellington is freeware on Avsim.

However for the best Wellington photoscenery ever, you'll want the Godzone Photoscenery Subscription, see the link in my sig. Currently there's a post here on NZFF giving members 40% off, which brings it down to $59.40. A bargain.

Will there be a new Auckland imagery for the subscription?

No, all the Subscription areas are just what's been previously announced -- Southern Alps and Lakes, Wellington, Hawkes Bay, Volcanic Plateau -- and there won't be another subscription. However if someone was working on a great NZAA, I'd love to supply a photoscenery for Auckland, similar to the subscription. However it would probably need to be payware, as it'll be a huge download, too big for any of the freeware libraries. (Supercity is over the limit, and any new one would be at least 4 times the size, probably more.)

The Subscription was a trial run really to see if there was a market for very large-scale photoscenery, which could cover most of NZ. However there isn't:)

"what is the definition of photoeal scenery?" A lot off work :)

Already been done ... if you want to spent between 36 to 18 months , on a simple area like ... ..... many we have always wanted people to jump in and give it a go but most tucker out after a month off it or even less , you want to be dedicated, best intro is doing a scenery yourself ,

Did you take a look at the Supercity link I posted above? You'll need to scroll down the page a bit, as it also includes Southern Lakes.
There's about 7000 sq km of photoscenery around the greater Auckland area.

As far as I'm aware, there are a couple of people working on versions of Auckland Airport, not counting the stalled Orbx version. What I meant was that if someone was to produce a proper Auckland Airport, I'd love to supply some photoscenery for the city, similar to Supercity but higher resolution, like the subscription.

I am working on an update of Robs Marlborough but it will include all the Marlborough Sounds and join onto Rob's Nelson.
Parts of it have been finished complete with the veg agn but no building agn the Western side that joins Nelson and D'urville Island have been finished and the top end of the Marlborough sounds is about finished hopefully later tonight.
I have also done Stuart Island plus the West Coast towns.

Brilliant to hear about Marlborough Doug, I've been hoping for an update of that area with the new coverage for ages now.

I may as well just mention that I spent about six months of last year working on photoreal coverage of Auckland using the new LINZ 50cm dataset. Academic and teaching commitments have got in the way since then so I haven't been able to revisit it for some considerable time now. However, I am hoping to do some more work on it soon. It is being done purely for me to learn the craft, so I can make no promises about it ever being good enough to release, but time will tell. Rob has already helped a bit and Ian has offered, so something may come of it yet. We'll see.

I spend eleven months of the year in the UK and one in NZ. I'm hoping to improve that... ;-)
