Magnificant pics Matt! I would love to bring my AH Spit up for a dog fight with out, unfortuantly my sim is not working at the moment :(

It would do , with cabin , I don't have any influnce , just the typical pretty 'please' fingers crossed and eye closed hoping . I should finish of the old Mount Cook 748 paint , the 68 debut , the International MC and the 70s to mid 80s Scheme . I no the pilot guy who first flew the plane in to NZ thought bee good to get some log book details , the MC Intl is the interesting 1 , used as a medvac ops in asia mid 80s B)

Thanks for all your comments. I too read that article, very interesting. I saw one flew over the other day with this particular paint scheme and I said to myself, I wonder if Mr Tavendale did something about it ;) a quick search at AVSIM resulted in exactly what I was looking for. A fantastic paint job John if your reading this. The airfield is actually a challenge to land on. I couldn't find it at first and flew past it, eventually got myself into a tight spot before managing to get out with some very dodgy flying . In the picture,it is on the lower left where you can see a bit of flat...

I too bought the 4 cds some time back, but being mostly an IFR pilot I didn't like the patchyness of the sceneries. They are fine flying around down low and inside the area, but up above at speed, the just show as blurry textures as you fly over that particular area. I'd rather fly over all photo real textures for the whole country, or all more mundane textures for the whole country.. not a patchwork quilt of textures :) (not to say they are not fabulous low and slow) I even tried the huge Canterbury VFR scenery someone released, but that was even worse. Arriving into Christchurch in...

yeah mine are set at 6-7 but to take photo shots i slew (y)then crank every thing up for photo and the put things back the way they where for performance all weather does lots to that perfect sceen shot so just pause get that one of shot its worth the time and yes mipmaps in display setting s hope this helps mike :)

PMDG did a good job with it. Its definately one you will enjoy. :D Alex

:D Trolly make sure you are not Vozed when you try gregs project and by the way he has awesome tree bgls that make for a more authentic voz experience in N.Z. (doul) i just realized Trolly you use Photo in N.Z sorry!

Nice shot Charl! That is Christian Stock's freeware landclass I persume? And thanks for the info about the Blackbird- I was about to ask if you needed to pay for it or not :lol:

Awsome! Number 8 is best, I rememer that ,that bit was probably the best formation we did ,must have had excacly the same climb rate the two aircraft just seemed to stick side by side, anyway great capturing you got em at just the rite time.

Cool pics Jimmy! Its nice to see the other perspective ;) I just posted my shots in another thread by the way.

Perfect time of the day for screenshots. Love the colour of the DC-3 fuselage in shot 1 ;)

Right, 5 days are up and it looks like we have a winner! Congratulations to Cirrusnature! ! :D Your shot will be cropped into the site banner.

Hello there. Turangi makes a good base for sightseeing around the central plateau so that's where I started from but in that pea soup I couldn't see the airfield well enough to land so I ended up diverting to Taupo.The airport not the lake! :P I'm using Active Sky's latest which would be v6.

Kool! :D I think they are both great, the background grass in #2 isnt too noticable.

i must admit i have a quiet chuckle whenever i see that at NZAA, its truely a unique aircraft- nice pics :)

Well, it does what you describe when I depart Whenuapai, and works just fine out of Invercargill, maybe the XML coding is strange that way.... To stop the props: Press E1...4 to command only the outer engines. Press CTRL-Shift-F1 to cut them. Press CTRL-F1 to feather. Press E2...3 to command inner 2 engines. Wait patiently for the No. 1 & 4 fans to wind down. Take screenshot!
