Hi guys! First time poster, long time lurker around here, finally got around to signing up after procrastinating far too long.

An Aerosoft DHC6 on floats using the freeware Godzone Rotorua scenery. The only seaplane base I have in NZ! Couldn't find any NZ repaints of a DHC6 with floats, from what I can tell no DHC6 floats have ever operated in NZ?

I thought I'd get in there first with the BIG welcome!

... and a great pic to kick off with ... NZ repaint or not!

The memories!! Good old Mt Ngongotaha in the back ground. I really miss Rotorua.

Thanks guys! It's great to be onboard and be able to share my enjoyment of Flightsim with others.

These screenshot competitions are great, everyone has such creative ideas! Really gets me motivated to try different aircraft rather than the same ole thing over and over..

Another which is a little different, this is the freeware (Shupe, Folkers and Ortis) Beechcraft-Cargo Amphibian landing on Lake Benmore at high noon as captured by tourists overhead in a hot-air balloon . . . . . . . or maybe it's from one of those new spy satellites!

You little s*** stirrer Doug, yes in fact it is NZSI. Don't you appreciate the realism and no sign of overly green vegetation. Don't know what you chaps have been going on about!!!

Why I asked if it was NZSI was because I couldnt see any trees

Something with a bit of history ... the Sikorsky S-42 Samoan Clipper flown by Captain Musick and crew on the Pacific Survey flights.
Here in 1938 leaving Auckland bound for Pago-Pago in the early morning sunrise, and about to pass the Bean Rock Light.
Musick Point in Auckland is named in his honor.

Very Pleased you have followed up on history , sad loosing a pioneer and the passengers , truly what happened is in dou,t , eyewitness and mentioned many different reasons by was the days that tested the technology of the time .

For no reason other than to be able to get in a really cheesy PBY-type pun, I have to say ...

Copy CAT!!!

I was hoping for a new amphibian for my hangar but it hasn't arrived yet....I still might be able to sneak it in before the end of the month. In the meantime this will do...Ant's Drifter Microlight at rest in Lake Rotorua (RealNZ)

There was a article on the news the other night , explaining the safety of hot air balloons , the view over Hamilton was fantastic at 2000ft hang in a basket , i wonder what it would be like ripping along in your Drifter Microlight
