I was afraid to try flying in that weather, the lightning here was amazing!

Nice shots, that livery definitely grabs your attention.

(one was mine :D ) nice job Cbris - i like the motion blur, gives it real theatre

It's a 269C. (ugly thing too!)

Well after three days, it looks like Cbris has won with 7 votes! :clap: Congratulations!

Pretty... I am going to have to create my own blank texture if they don't come up with a paintkit soon...

Great shots Cbris, I remember drooling over the 2nd one down a few months back over at VOZ ;) I also saw the Pimp Aviation addon on SimMarket and toyed with the idea of buying it, yet decided against it as I was sure that like the Captain Keith missions, once you complete it once, you don't have any incentive to do it again. I must ask though- what happens when you increase the throttle when flying that guy- does he fall out his chair? :P

Yep, I've repainted this one myself a couple of times too. Nothing fancy, but can be found in Avsim (search "Chris Brisland")

wait till you see the coins.. LOL I wounder how many times I got riped off useing a $2 instead of a $1 :lol: lol, there a bit strange

VHF/UFH aerials/Nav trainer gear ... old day high tech stuff :huh: ARR , astroDome for the Pirates YARR .. :)

Nice shots, gotta love that scenery! :)

IT was a great nite,even tho I was there but only as an observer.I followed you around but unfortunately it was not my nite for finding the beacon.I couldn't download the aircraft in time for the show due to other committments,but I had a ball just watching you all.Looking forward to Octobers session,hope to see you all there,this time as a pilot

Is it cheating to land a big aircraft if you have set the payload to nothing and the fuel to only 10%? If not then I can manage to get a 777-300ER in successfully (used the Meljet one). Tried it a few times until I worked out the approach - drag it in just above the stall and just off the waves, drop it down right on the end of the runway and stand on the brakes - HARD :D Haven't worked out the multiplayer thing yet, but once (if) I do then I'll repeat the feat online. Lots of fun! Steve I drop my A320 50% payload and full fuel B)

Refresh: (I am afraid I use a German language version so I am not sure of the English names for things) go to the FS9 optins menu where you set the joystick commands and so on. Search through the list and look for the refresh aircraft command - there's one for refresh scenery too by the way. Allocate a new keyboard command for this (it's empty by default) I guess you know that from what you say though. It doesn't work all the time for me - there seem to be limitations as to when and where or what you are doing. Perhaps you have to be unpaused while refreshing. So if that...

Now if you were in a chopper you could of just hovered over top and slowly brought it in to land making small adjustments do your directio so you dont land in the harbour lol use chinook and you could land in the water.

Darn! I almost forgot! KiwiThunder has been uploaded to Avsim along with a couple of other paints I have done recently - just go to Avsim and go to the files library - search under my name - Chris Brisland - OK, so I have uploaded more than just the few skins shown here, but what the heck - a spot of "self plugging" doesn't hurt, no? ;) Or just search Kiwi Thunder... :D

I forgot about this download, and only just nabbed it today. .... But I notice the 'Stationair II' badge is sitting over the top of the SOUNDS AIR logo, unlike CN's shot #4 above. Anyone know how to remove this badge? Trolly, You can find the stationair logo in the texture file: "Carenado prop 206.bmp" Just paint over the logo with black and do the same for the alpha. I think CN didn't upload this because of the Carenado copyright rules. I really must check these out more often - I had a paint rejected because I sent all the files up to Avsim instead of just the...

Oh, you'll get smoke all right... just most likely white only. Another fun thing to do is to load up a. n. other plane and fly around the display as "Cam-plane".
