Godzone - depicting New Zealand in Flight Simulation
"Welcome to Godzone."
"-Where?"
"That's what we call New Zealand sometimes...
"Not in a religious nutter way, we're just smug, 'cause we're the best."
'Drew', Shortland Street.
Godzone has been producing New Zealand scenery for simmers since the days of FS2002. By 'Godzone' I really mean me, Robin Corn, although sometimes I do collaborate with other local developers.
The current project is Real NZ Christchurch, which was initially released for Prepar3d, and will be followed by FSX, and then versions for Aerofly FS2 and X-plane, to test the demand for quality scenery in these alternative simulators.

The subscription is no longer available for purchase, but existing subscribers can still access the Subscriber downloads and content, the 'get started' button is the best way to get to the subscriber content.

Low-flying detail
Some people think that photoscenery doesn't offer the same ground-level 3D detail that they are used to, but Godzone photoscenery includes autogen buildings and vegetation, some hand-placed, and other custom Points of Interest.
About this site:
This site was originally created as a Godzone Photoscenery Subscription site, and although the Subscription is no longer the main focus, subscribers can still access the existing Subscription scenery.
Mainly, though, it is the new Godzone Store, where you can see details and purchase 'Real New Zealand' and 'Godzone' scenery. Currently there are just a few 'Real New Zealand' products, but hopefully I can release new scenery as it is completed.

What about Prepar3d v5?
I’m getting plenty of queries, so I’ll outline the plans I have for Prepar3d v5 compatibility with the existing Real New Zealand scenery products, and any future products. By ‘existing’, I mean the three sceneries currently in the Godzone Store. I plan to update the Real NZ installers shortly, but…
2020 musings…
I haven’t mentioned the upcoming Microsoft Flight Simulator here at Godzone, as it is really too early to make any judgements, and pending a lot more details of the development tools, it is also far too early to make any decisions regarding whether or not existing scenery can be updated,…
The future of Godzone...
At the moment I am reworking the concept of Godzone Virtual Flight, getting back to the early days of Godzone, releasing high quality scenery based around New Zealand airports.
Currently, I am working on step 1 of the multi-platform project, funded in part via Kickstarter. The first release will be Real NZ Christchurch, and the success of this will determine the future of multi-sim support.
