Went for a quick burst round Timaru, First off its amazing! The sound set is sweet and the VC is just awesome the start up procedure is realy great. and the visual model... way better than in the pics.

I know TWO people who fly it! Nyahnyah!

QUOTE (Naki @ Oct 17 2008, 04:12 PM) Just released a Buffalo for FSX PAD have released it for FS9 too! Love these planes, who needs a runway ... ...and even when there is one available, you don't use a lot

Sweet!! Those rotors are huge /ohmy.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :o border= 0 alt= ohmy.gif /> /smiliz2.png style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :@ border= 0 alt= smiliz2.png />

If the repaint was designed and made for the wilco a320 for FS9 then they would be in that format ,ie like dx3 /dx1 bmps ,now the wilco a320 FSX version should have the same mapping for those maps but will like dds textures if it is a Real FSX model so maybe just changing the format to DDS with the image tool mite work sweet with the wilco or the DX1 and DX3 type maps could just work ok as long as they are for that model "WilcoA320"... could you drop a zip file name of the textures you are looking at here so i or someone else can see if they are 4 the wilco and if there is a chance...

QUOTE (Naki @ Oct 23 2008, 03:35 AM) The Carenado one isnt out yet and its an older N model and I doubt it has an inbuilt GPS. Flight 1 has a 172R which can be patched to FSX...but it dosent have an inbuilt GPS either - those the only 172s I know of for FSX - one aircaft that is very good and is fully FSX compatible with a great inbuilt GPS is the Dreamfleet Piper Dakota OIC. Well I thought it would be easy to get the FS9 replacement. Cheers.

I personally like Alphasim's Hughes MD-500 helicopter, although I do recommend using David Gibson's Bell 206 handling fix ( a replacement .air file, don't worry, it works great on the MD-500) for it. Comes in a couple civvie versions, plus the fearsome MH-6 Little Bird attack helicopter variant.

Wow, it's been a long time coming, it does look very cool. /cool.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= B-) border= 0 alt= cool.gif /> Alex

QUOTE (JonL @ Oct 14 2008, 05:06 PM) How about Opensky freebies yea poskys rendition is very good for a freeware aircraft but when push comes to shove, when pushing tin from country to country a FMC is a must! i know this may be a slap in the face for some but its just not flyable for long distance.

/drool.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :drool: border= 0 alt= drool.gif /> wow nice /drool.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :drool: border= 0 alt= drool.gif /> I've got that same model it's very very good eh. /smile.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :) border= 0 alt= smile.gif />

I have a feeling the TU16 would be the next ...the Swift was relative new /smile.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :) border= 0 alt= smile.gif />

I am a fan of this one at the moment, really great VC: If it's on my site that means it is good!

you need to press in betweem the ALT and VS buttons to engage the Alt capture mode. pressing Alt will engage Alt Hold (at your current altitude) Ran

QUOTE (Albatross @ Oct 1 2008, 08:03 PM) This one is an easy install really, did you install the panel/ gauges package as well? There are two downloads at the top of this page, one for the panel, the other for the sound. You need the panel one as well as the model in the very least. The instructions on how to install it are on that page /smile.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :) border= 0 alt= smile.gif /> Cripes, didn't see that. I just downloaded the Air NZ model lower down the page. I'll install those tonight. Thanks!

i remember when all aircraft were 500kb-2mb ohhh /ohmy.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :o border= 0 alt= ohmy.gif /> fs98 where are you now /pirate.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :arrr: border= 0 alt= pirate.gif /> now a/c are up too a good 200mb well what's the future hold /plane.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :plane: border= 0 alt= plane.gif /> /New_Zealand_etc.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= >nzflag< border= 0 alt= New_Zealand_etc.gif />

Yep they've used it when I've done Air Nelson jumpseats. They just push a button and it goes on from memory, easy peasy.

QUOTE (Phil92 @ Sep 29 2008, 12:14 AM) anybody? should I use these numbers or aren't these the right ones? It's worth a shot eh. If it doesn't work out straight away you could always get tweaking (see Charl's post for which numbers mean what /winkyy.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= ;) border= 0 alt= winkyy.gif />).

QUOTE (cowpatz @ Sep 26 2008, 10:44 AM) Is there a really good F27 sim model around? I would love something modeled in a similar fashion to Rick Piper's HS748. That is an awesome freeware aircraft with a fabulous panel and sounds. The ONLY halfway decent FLYABLE model of F-27s that i know of, are the 2 by Mike Stone. (F27-200, and F27-500). Many NZ liveries available, Early NAC "Jet-Prop Friendship" livery, NAC "Wings of the Nation" livery, hybrid orange / red Air NZ livery, green / blue Air NZ livery, and New Zealand Post livery. There are a couple of good...
