So, this holiday season I am in New Zealand on a work trip (It's a tough job, but someone has to do it I guess wink ).
The first part of our stay was spent in Queenstown which is located on the South Island. The scenery was absolutely stunning there. I picked up FSX Steam Edition as soon as it was released, and I treated myself to the ORBX New Zealand South Island scenery and the detailed Queenstown Airport (NZQN). The results are great (and I can run it on my gaming laptop quite nicely too). Here are a couple of shots I just took flying around the airport area.

I am starting to go through a few photos from this trip.. here is one showing some of the same terrain as in the first screenshot.
