NZFF

I've just installed my old MyTraffic 6A into P3D4 and it works without a hitch. I think it's easy to get the wrong impression about problems online because the vast majority of people who don't have problems don't post anything. Whatever software you research, you'll only find people who have problems with it. Having said that, I wouldn't say I'm a huge fan. The AI planes seem too bright, - they look like toys and don't seem to blend well into the rest of the scenery. They throw shadows onto the ground but need more contrast, e.g. underneath the fuselage and wings. Better than no traffic...

Great Heads up Dave ..... will most certainly give it a look.

No, I seem to recall that I passed the previous card onto someone on NZFF, but this time I will need to put it back into my PC when I replace it, to act as a 'clean' installer test machine. I used to have one of these, which my old flatmate used most of the time, and I left it with her when I moved, but it seems she has disposed of it...

Good info about WWA, - but like you say, probably not worth it if you only fly to addon airports like I do. I bought GSX ages ago, used it once and the little man told me my parking was crap so I stopped using it. :mad: Recently, I blew the dust off it and tried again and it seems like a different product, - far advanced from the initial release. It's great, and I use it on every flight, - lots of fun. So far, I haven't been told I'm rubbish but I'm not sure if that's because my taxiing is better or they've introduced a more respectful way of addressing pilots :) . Regarding GSX2 and...

You could just imagine the discussion at the dinner table that night. "Hi honey tell me what you did at work today?"

the standard advertised approach into NZAA (provided all equipment is functional) is ILS/DME for 23L or 05R. if not on a visual then most aircraft will fly the ILS or the RNAV X (north) Z (straight in) or Y ( from south). after that there is the LLZ/DME or the VOR/DME etc down the scale.

Thanks Greg. I appreciate the offer. You guys are very accomodating. For me, I’m locked into using the Rift as that’s what the family wanted but I’m hoping to get myself setup to enjoy learning to fly (which I can’t afford except in VR) and exploring my favourite backcountry rivers etc. It sounds like I’ve a lot to learn to get everything together. Cheers, Shaun

Thanks for the link. What's the most you've deviated for wx, CP? About 60 nm. If you have the time take a look at the NOVA YouTube link. A very interesting demonstration of super cooled water. Very chilling if you could excuse the pun.

I've had GSX for years so having to purchase the expansion wasn't hard to justify, myself. I use it for every flight. Loading the plane (not used all the time just when I want some eye candy) the pushback feature is really good, and the parking guidance is very handy. Sode jetways everywhere is cool however most of the airports I fly to are addons anyway. I really just want to support FSDT because that product has been receiving free updates and features for 6 years I think I read.

Sooo good! Sales are always the best time to pick up ORBX products!! I was thinking the same transfers paris airports thing, their purchase and download/install process is such a breeze and delight to use... Last sale I finished off my NZ with NZWR... Now what?! :unsure: Not yet

Last night nisom-idara-mipak-rw21 latest navigraph , Flight1 ATR 72-500 perfect flight and ILS landing. FSX with Orbx S.I Godzone Dunedin

IPACS have implemented Virtual Hands for AFS2. These allow clicking turning and setting everything in the VR cockpit. When they release their R22 I will step back into full Virtual Reality.

NZFG and the RV7 loaded in around 3 mins this evening; followed by an IFR direct GPS to NZNV, missed visual approach (ATC instruction to go around due to some lazy-ass Cessna that couldn't vacate in a timely fashion and just cost me another $40 in avgas, to a second good visual landing.

Thanks, Dean - these deals have snared my wallet a few times in the past!! I'm tempted bt the DC-4 at the moment! Adam.

That Pimax in ED certainly looks good :)
