Cool :D They had world's greatest tanks on this last Sunday... once again we had to go out half way through it :angry:

Hi Laurie and gokanru. That is great news about the upcoming NAC, Mt Cook and SPANZ repaints for the default DC-3. I like the idea of the Fieldair repaint as well. There are some great dusting effects out there to make her fully useable in FS as well. Speaking of Fieldair has anyone come across a good Loadstar yet? Laurie, there is a Teal DC-6 repaint available that might be usefull to the retro AI project. Also a DC-6 and DC-4 in the beautifull pollished metal of BCPA. I bet it was quite a sight when Whenuapai was Aucklands international airport and the bid DC's, Strats, Connies,...

I don't know about dates, but it is in beta testing so I suspect soon. Christian

One of the other neat things is demonstrated in the gliding, you now have a connection to the tug thats visible, and you interact so you have to 'fly' rather than just be pulled. Dont do this and you could crash both of you, snap your cable etc. Its fun watching the cable tense up as you go.  NOW you're talking! Years ago Flight Unlimited 2 (?) had a brilliant glider setup, the cable release went 'Glunk" when you popped it. It was the coolest thing, in a world populated by FS5 Legoplanes. I wondered how long it would take for MS to pick up on that. Off to Dick...

Hi Chris Thanks for the abve info - wil go over to DA and have a look - I am keen on your Portuguese scheme and of course the NZ scheme you have done. These will be my next downloads. Yes I would of never got the Dornier if didn't have the functions it does and was like most of the other add on aircraft out there. Cheers :plane: Paul

OK I got the EC135 and the EC145 - nice but I'm having trouble with the gauges. The "Read me" says open the zipped Gauges folder and move the two sub folders into the Main Gauges file of FS9. Now that all seemed pretty straight forward. I've managed to load Addon aircraft plenty of other times and it's not uncommon for the Gauges to be in a seperate zipped file. But I have some missing in the Cockpit view and the VC is also missing some. The doc's say I need to turn on the Battery master switch. Great thinks I that may reveal all. But damned I can even find the...

Sorry - should of started a new post - it was the HS-748 I was referring to not the HS-780 Andover.- most frustrating not being able to get this going as it looks good Cheers Naki

I accually didnt think about that thanks man

lol has it got any flaps Matt? That might help you take off :lol: What an awesome looking little freeware, I think I'll get it as well. Thanks!

The RNZAF P3 orion Is not too bad an aircraft but the panel really sucks This is how the panel should look,after all it is the military version of the Lockheed Electra. This is a version of the Console It would pay to look at the readme to be able to use this panel to its best.In our one I also changed the sound,I prefer the sound pack that was Edited by Adrian Brausch

Ahhh! - that looks good - me want - bloody dial up means one thing at a time slowly - I guess that saves money anyway. Downloading cloud 9 f-4 demo at the moment Naki

Ah thanks Alex! A neat addon for the C130 is parachutjumper.zip which adds jumpers to your Herc when you press 'I'

Thanks Jon. :clap: Just what i was looking for for a Retro AI project that i am involved in. Had a couple of B&W pics, but no colour pics of that livery, till now. :) Lawrie. >nzflag<

This was alot harder than I thought, trying to pick only 3 Aircraft Howard 500 (freeware) Captain Sim Boeing 727 (payware) KBT P-3C (freeware)

I saw this and have to say as a model builder I was very disappointed that Boeing have licensed this model, my personal view is Boeing havnt bothered to check the quality, if they had I doubt they would have supported it. It also effectively closes the door on other developers who may have developed a high quality model. On the bright side I use FSDesign Studio from Abacus, its one piece of software that's come from them thats pretty darn good.

Excellent thanks Trolly, Only had time for a couple of quick trial flights last night. Brings back memories of my time "flying these bar stools"(as a GA pilot friend of mine called them). The included challengers are a bonus. MMmmm, now if i dump the passenger there's just enough room for a deer or two. Time for a trip around the Central Plateau me thinks.

Nice work Toz, I am downloading it now. Thanks for the link! Does this zip include an actual aircarft you have modled yourself, or is it a single repaint that you have created for another plane? Cheers!

Holy #$#@! Looks like I've got some work to do. :) Thank you so much for that!

Speaking of exams, isn't this a horrible time for FSX to be coming out? :lol:
