A couple of shots over somewhat neglected airport (for me anyway)...but the scenery is stunning and quite different..

Trust me .... this airport sticks out as you drive past heading South or returning ... best example is this scenery pointing this out .. whiles back first thing you saw was the tail of a Nomad .. seemed nothing else until a slight climb and the airport appears out no where ... least if your not expecting it .

No didn't stress it out I dont think...9 Gs okay? tongue.gif ...you can see I modified it though by putting some clear panels in the bottom of the cockpit and painted out the Mobil sponsorship ...hope you dont mind...

I am wondering how realistic the FDE is..anyway its fun to blat aorund in.

Nice vids....heres a shot I took at Tauranga..must do a Fligtsim/real comparison shot

The guy who made this FSX model was looking for another colour scheme so I gave him some pic's of RTP.

He wanted a review from me as to it's flying characteristics compared to the real thing. It's not to bad but I couldn't really say it's similar. FSX lacks so much feeling of flight, it all feels so linear, that I couldn't really usefully compare.
