I've done a few flights in Australia lately. Those of you that live there, what do you think of the FSX scenery? I've been rather impressed.

The default scenery is crap. I live in Victoria which is in the south (birds here fly north for the winter) and Victoria does not look like a desert in the Summer. It is very green mostly (the drought did have some areas in the state looking dry, but not like Microsoft portrays them in FSX). Anyone who seriously wants to see how Australia really looks should buy Orbx-FTX AU (SP4)!

I like the New Zealand area too but have only flown there a few times. The Lord of the Rings wouldn't have been the same filmed somewhere else...it is a beautiful country.

I just finished a Trans-Tasman flight, Melbourne (AU) to Wellington (NZ). Too bad that Wellington is on the North Island instead of the South Island, I have Orbx-FTX NZSI and the NZNI isn't done yet.
