NZFF

Hi Guys. I'm a new member here...discovered FS2004 a year ago and very addicted, have even got out a few Federal Aviation Manuals and reading up on the real procedure etc. Anyway im a kiwi from Wellington, mainly fly around new zealand, oz and eastern USA at the moment.

while I'm at it, I'm looking to get a bit of old payware addon scenery for FS9, like Ultimate Terrain, FSGlobal etc... Does anybody have a few old copies lying around that they would be keen to sell off? Have had a fair bit of trouble tracking down a hard copy in NZ so would be much appreciated.

Also, can anybody explain how to do a bit of online flying, like with human ATC etc, is this even possible with 56K dial-up?


Regards to you all

Casey

Hi ya Casey and welcome to NZFF , you may want to start here for FS9 scenery : http://www.freewarescenery.com/fs2004.html : this site will direct you to all released 2004 freeware scenery , you can also get a direct link at Flightsim.com for your home town Wellington scenery with photoreal back ground and airport .

Multiplay is possible with 56k dial-up but very slow at times causing crash,s .

Hi Casey welcome to NZFF you should enjoy it here and will find us a very friendly lot.
A good place to start for FS2004 scenery is on Rob's site Rob is a member (toprob) and has been doing flight sim scenery for a long time now so I would start on his site for your scenery

Over the years, I think I've managed to "collect the whole set" of Rob's sceneries. If you're Welly based, then his RealNZ Wellington is a *must*. For FS9, I think some of the Red Baron stuff will add a lot too. "Roads & Rivers" etc.

BTW - big welcome from me too!!!

I think Robins RealNZ Wellington comes with the free NZ 75m mesh which is a bonus over the default mesh as Adam mentioned Red Baron "Roads & Rivers" is the payware NZ 20m Mesh but a little expensive

Gidday Casey...all things FS9 can be found at AVSIM:
Filename: nzfs9f.zip
Category: Flight Simulator 2004 - Scenery
Google Earth Scenery Database for New Zealand
File Description:
This is a .kmz file showing most of the amazing FS9 sceneries available for NZ (75 or so). Just double-click on the file and they should show up in GE. Airports are categorised, so you can accurately filter by airport type. Download links are provided for each, as well as a link to a screenshot. Makes planning a flight a little easier, and perhaps more interesting, as you can often zoom down to street view in GE, and see what the airport looks like!

There are links in the Index area too, for aircraft and must-have files.
Enjoy the experience...

I have some FS2004 stuff available on trademe...I may break these up if you want

You obviously making the complete transition to FSX Paul

Yep...my FPS is a bit frustrating in any Orbx scenery but more than adequate in VLC...I miss a couple of aircraft in FS9 but thats about it.....I also need to finance my next addon!

Hi Ian. Thanks for the advice, I might stick to offline flying till I can upgrade to broadband.

I had downloaded a copy of the freeware Wellington city photoreal, along with Airport and Autogen addon...i believe this was a collaborative effort between you and Robyn corn...the photoreal works great, however I found that as soon as I loaded up the airport my sim would crash. I tried going into slew mode, and slewing to airport, but it seems to crash as soon as airport comes into sight. Once I disabled the addon airport in Addon Scenery, while leaving photoreal and autogen, no problems.
Can you help with this?

It shouldnt be a huge problem as I have the RealNZ Wellington addon coming in the mail.

I will checkout the link and see what I can find on Flightsim.com. Am currently trying to download FSGenesis 32m USA Mesh.

I had been over to Snowman/Lawrie Roache's website to check out his great airports, but one problem is that I need to download his EZScenery Object Libraries for them to work, and since on dialup this can be a bit of a nightmare as it is a 200MB download and doesn't seem to have a resume function when my internet disconnects from time to time.

dbcunnz I have recently downloaded RedBarons freeware 75m NZ mesh along with photoreal Coromandel, I have managed to find a decent cheap copy of Roads and Rivers on trademe today, so yay!

Thanks heaps, I hope i'm not being too much of a headache. :-)

Hi Casey

I left a note on Trademe...I am trying to work out how to do this but I may have to let the auction run because if I withdraw it is breach of Trade terms and condtions. If it dosen't sell I will split off what you want (and FS9 - Tom ) and sell it direct and put the other items up on trademe that the other guy wants. Hopefully the other person comes back.

Cheers

Thanks.
I do a bit of selling on trademe too, I have withdrawn items before and trademe doesnt seem to mind as long as you have good reason, however it will cost $3.00 each withdrawal. It is possible to alter the price and items listed in the auction without any problems, so you can simply click on edit to rename the auction and list the items that one person wants in that auction and change price accordingly, then start a new auction with the items the other guy wants.

I hope that helps

Since there aren't any bids yet you can do pretty much anything you want with the auction except withdraw it - changing it around is certainly one option but I've generally found it easiest to just add a couple of noughts on the end of the price and wait for it to expire.

ok cheers -- wil sort out later tonight.
