How does it fly? It doesn't have the best reputation and there is evidence in the literature that many have been lost during the training of young pilots. Andreas - This article taught me a lot. I always knew taking off with a big rotary called for a bootful of rudder - now I know why. It is a long article but the first half is about constructing the replica plane. Scroll down about halfway until the group photo appears. The flight comments start a couple of paragraphs above that. In AFS4 I have a Camel and a community dev has made a Snipe for it, so it will be interesting to compare them....

The Aerostar series is a remarkable development and there have always been more or less good replicas of aircraft from this series, since the MSFS 2004 and certainly before that... since the 98. A2A aircraft have never disappointed me. I think this will be interesting, even for me. It could be a good addition to my “Black Square fleet”. The Carenado planes have largely been sorted out and are rarely used... except for nostalgic reasons, the Cessna 182RG “Skylane”, which we started with in 1990, and the Piper “Seneca” V, which I used to fly from Keflavik via Greenland to Bangor in Maine... was...

After making those bold comments in the other 146 post (about Wanaka being similar to NZMC) I thought I would check.So I paid $30 or so bucks for Wanaka, I certainly hope I was not influencing or motivating you to cough up 30 bucks to buy that scenery! Smiling Aharon, I'm not saying what you saw was at Wanaka, just trying to solve the problem :rolleyes: That is okay It might be true that your 2 screenshots can be mistaken as NZMC Mount Cook as it would be for real world photos too but however I remember seeing photos with words Mount Cook airport. BUT BUT you are right that to anyone, Wanaka...

Spltpin, Thanks for cool explanations. I have same no luck finding proof but I keep trying. Regards, Aharon

All very nice shots, especially the Dak..if you use your imagination you can almost hear it...at least I can :rolleyes: The US AFSOC have an armed version of the Air Tractor for use in COIN work.

Ah, That One Small airfield, big heavy jet. Did they attach the catapult harness onto the wings?? That silly long nose gear looks very fragile. Yep, that series. It's brilliant TV. The cat bridle was hooked to the wings on all Phantoms. The FG1 had a 40 inch nose gear extension next to the F4Js 20 inch extension to account for the shorter catapult run on the British Carriers.

Wow, that #2 shot is a cracker :wub: Thanks! I really should refly it with the "Dam Busters" variant!

Thanks again for stopping by. Charl, I know I said I wasn't doing the bomb thing...but I needed to blow something up...in this case it was snow, works for me. Aharon ...correct, that is FSX .That screen dates back to 2015 I think. I found it in a long forgotten folder. Simon, why am I not surprised ...thank you. B-) If I had to remove all but one of these shots, the remaining one would be the 146, 25,000 feet over Gatwick.....anyway, stand easy...dismissed.

Yes I can recall a similar adventure out of Port Douglas, years ago. The little ones threw up in the boat. As to the scenery: I have a bad habit of binge buying, and not cataloguing what I have. ^_^ I had to go looking for this one, and thanks for asking: I missed out on the second half of the story! It's a bundle of Hamilton Island plus Reefworld by AUscene, very good quality I thought. My copy came from Contrail. Now I'll go explore the rest, this time in my trusty Aussie R44.

CS should stick to this market, that is truly beautiful. I will buy it, just for my end-of-year foray into VR. The one in AFS2 blew my socks off, this looks better by a good margin.

It is a simulation not of the aeroplane, but of operating the aeroplane That is well put. Glad you didn't pay the current price, that must be a rarified market. Thanks for giving us a glimpse.

Pretty sure Mount Cook only flew ATRs (for only about years part of Air NZ) into Mount Cook and HS- 748s (as an independent) before that. Yes you are correct about those two planes flown into NZMC by Mount Cook airline. Also, DC-3s by same airline also flew to NZMC too. I am still searching vast superhighways of Internet looking for any photo proof of BAE146s operating to NZMC by Ansett New Zealand. Regards, Aharon

It's a great mod, isn't it? The pilot toggle doesn't work in 2024, but then that's a common Asobo problem ... For those that are interested, the five kcgb liveries updated for 2024 are now up on Flightsim.To: NZ1015 1970: NZ1037: NZ1052: NZ1078: NZ1098: I've sent Jankees my 2024 versions of his 3 NZ Harvards, so I imagine he may upload them there himself ... when he gets back from holiday that is ;) I thought I really should add WillowFSX's NZ1015 (not reworked by me):

Thank you Charl.

I'd pay for the ride
