Look out for the trailer on FS Elite
Here are some screens of the upcoming release. Enjoy.

Fantastic! Looks amazing!
This latest approach to scenery is a great move by NZA. Instead of getting a tiny (albeit detailed) airport for ~£16, we get a whole region, with bonus airstrips, for just a few pounds more. It makes the customer feel they’ve got good value for money.

■■■■! A new scenery from NZA. I’m grabbing that right now. I’m surprised they don’t email their existing customers about new releases (or maybe they do and I opted out, I’ll have to check). At the rate they’re going we’ll have a fully modeled NZ in no time!

Looks really nice; great for short hops from NZAA and NZWN in the ATR. I rarely buy add-ons at full price but I think I’ll be making an exception for this.
Would also go well with short hops from NZPM from X-winds too.
Indeed. But I don’t think there’s real-life scheduled service between NZTG and NZPM?
Yeah, not IRL, but that’s the beauty of a sim

Just bought this. Loading the sim; will report back but I’ve very high expectations for this scenery…
EDIT
And as expected, it’s gorgeous. NZTG is a masterpiece; really detailed inside and out. Lots of landside modelling extending way out from the terminal, all in high-res. The two much smaller airfields are nicely detailed, too. However what would make this a perfect scenery, rather than an excellent one, is a bit more custom modelling in the city proper. Other than the hospital and a few bridges, I can’t see much (although to be fair, the default PG does a decent job in this area). It runs incredibly smoothly for me so I doubt more eye-candy would do any harm. Maybe they can cram a bit more in with an expansion pack, like they did for NZMF?
They’ve definitely addressed some of the area’s coastlines, which look great.

Anyone can share how it performs on xbox please?
PS- I respond to myself after purchasing it. WOW What a great job they did integrating with the existing PG - superb immersion. Very much recommended, runs great on xbox.
Glad it runs well on Xbox as NZA’s scenery rarely does. Only one that I could use without getting constant black screens was Nelson.
I find NZNS stability has improved over time, it works quite well lately. Milford Sound also works quite all right on Xbox.
The one that I find still problematic specially from LOD perspective is NZCH. For me it’s often like another Melbourne
Yeah, NZNS definitely improved with SU13/14, to the point that you really had to tank around with the drone to run into problems. Wasn’t so good on release, though.
NZCH has always been problematic on Xbox and I can’t see that changing. Relatively large, complex airport, with complex interior and complex surroundings.
As for YMML, it can be quite stuttery even on a high-end PC, particularly with FSLTL traffic.
