Auckland: Ships

[Charl]

While in Auckland in the sim, and possibly adding to the performance issue, I brought in some AI ships.
It's cool to chase them around the Hauraki Gulf in a rotary winged thing.

Charl. great shots. Love the background weather .
I can see the place I sat and watched a couple of ships arrive ...amazing.

Is that an autopilot app on an ipad as part of the add on? Is it a sort of in sim EFB?

[Charl]

Thanks Marty, the shots are a little unusual in that I couldn't pause the sim to frame the shot the way I usually do - the AI does not pause.
So they are Live Action, with Live Weather.
I kid you not, it started raining in the sim, and a minute later I looked out the window and there it was!

Yup it comes with the H145, and pops out when you click the coaming.
Just like an iPad it has everything you can think of, icon driven:

• Aircraft stability (There is a 4-axis autopilot).

• Systems operation e.g. external hoist

• Your Navigraph account

• Metars

• Web browser

etc etc
Very sophisticated model, it will keep me busy for a very long time.
