Scenery
All of the airports in this event are represented in the default FS9 and FSX sceneries: you don't need any add-on scenery to take part in the event.
But there are a number of scenery packages available that improve the visuals for some of the places you'll be flying, and these are listed below.
Auckland

ORBX Brisbane FSX Payware
