NZFF

I'll have a look tomorrow , so many to go thru , think the 2707-200 was again not the final layout , bit or simular to what hapened in the early 787 project under the 7E label , lot off info was used from the North American XB70 program and NASA use with General Electic with engine specs and with having the largest moving control surfaces .

The big one looks like a topo one to me. Christian Yeah, that's what I was thinking...

Excellent shots- I only wish my graphics where at that level.

WOW :o Awsome shots here :P I havent had time to get a good screenie (i'v spent the last week reinstalling fs , o well i think im at least half way now lol) Soo many enteries, I remember the first screenie comp the NZFF had, there was only two enteries, goodness knows how many in this one :lol: James

i like the old painted 747 the best :)

hmm nice shot, I wounder why some flights feal so unreal but others are like you say the fealing of being "up there". I think alot depends on fps, if you have a whole flight with no stuters then it seems more like being than watching a slide show on takoff. or is it te clouds? The sound has a big role doesn't it hmm Any way youve captured a nice looking enviroment for flying there :P James

Nice mods ronindanbo! Perhaps you could make the metalwork joins a little more transparent? They appear to stand out a little too much at the momement... yes I agree, I might start from scratch actually

Nice model, perhaps someone could paint it ZK-JFG's colours: BTW Monkey, please resize your shots to a smaller resoultion before posting next time ;)

Thanx Mike , superb , i'll address the missing agns around Ngaruawahia later now i no they gone walky bouts , get in and complete the city area and surround s. Ian :)

Maybe .... I don't want to break it! :)

There is so much freeware available... FlightSim Manager 2.8 is more than just a single utility... "From Install Wizard, hangar option, aircraft editor, to complete diagnostic " goes the blurb, and it almost replaces the front end of FS9. One thing it can do is start up FS after flushing all remnant leftovers from memory, which I suspect can help frame rates somewhat. If it has a failing then it is that it is so comprehensive it takes longer to learn than the sim itself ;) Oh and it does have a screen capture module as well. I often use HiJaak Pro, which is a freebie utility I got...

How long does it take? I started this one on Thursday night - on a different plane first - Christian would have preferred the Default DeHavilland Comet, but that doesn't work with the ideas we were having (Only one side skin - mirrored for the opposite side, text would be a problem). Then we thought about planes again - could have done a Dragon Rapide, but then we went for the Tante JU. I had to make a paintkit myself for this one, that took almost the best part of a day - removing the colours but keeping the corrugation in place. In manhours, this skin has probably cost arount 25 - 30...

Nah Man it looks sweet as just a couple of tips for the look of it. 1. Look at the right hand side of the hangar building if you want to get a close enough model bring it back towards the hangar so its about 1.5 / 2.5 meters from the side of the building. 2. The coble stones can just be put in line with the hangar door they are part of the original hangar before the add-on to the hangar was done it used to be where they parked that blue trolley that is normally in the far corner for the squirrels to land on. Otherwise it is looking wicked and like what we were talking about with the hill that...

Nice Michael

That's what the FSDX minipanel is for :P Anybody got any Antipodean voices for flight announcements? Gidday all, this is ya Cap'n speakin'...

Cheers guys, appreciated :) @ Trolly: It's part of the Overland package of models, payware but nice visual models and easy on the fps. Didn't use time compression either although I wasn;t in front of the computer for a lot of the time, just check back occasionally to monitor things, continue the step climb etc. I don't know which is most unrealistic, time compression or leaving it :lol: Was only a 12.6hr flight though, try doing WSSS-KEWR or the return...goodbye 19hrs :D

i beleive the a340 the Simbuild Freeware Group A340. heres what I got from the readme: SimuBuild Freeware Group: a VIV Company see if that hellps :) also, it has a full vc ;)
