No you don't. I guess a trip to Auckland in the 752 may do the trick then on to my planned legs via NZCH

by **raddragon** » Thu May 23, 2013 9:58 pm

The return trip has begun. NZIR to NZAA.

by **raddragon** » Fri May 24, 2013 9:54 am

Raddragon is out of hours - very early in the morning and I'm very fatigued, time to put into NZDN for the night.

Testing out the 752 Autoland

Parking next to an ANZ 733.

It's interesting, at home I can view the picture no problem, they are not as dark. Though when looking at them right now on my work monitor, I can't see a bloody thing! (mind you I do a bit of indesign/Photoshop at work and have a decent Samsung monitor). Settings I think!

You would find everyone has different settings- picture and course the time of day or the if a miserable day screen don't convey what you want .

I know how you feel RD ....I posted some night shots a few days ago (thought they looked ok) but ...... anyway, i can see them ...well done, now have a rest

by **raddragon** » Mon May 27, 2013 12:15 pm

Well next leg, NZDN to YMML. I felt like a leg across the ditch. Not sure what happened to my NZDN scenery!

At TOD

Final turn - configured too early!

Looking at your PC/rig surprised your not getting superb rich textures and screens , only notice this after you pointed out your missing NZDN scenery ... sure that is Orbx Mel , what is your NZ base scenery , VLC or Orbx ?

Edit : Orbx NZSI and NZNI .. just read your list again ... i'd re-install over the top , don't delete ... simply re-install .

I hear what you're saying about the frames/performance - I have never been really happy with the performance. My scenery list is a bit of a mess at present!

Think everyone's scenery listing gets messy .. mentioned this years ago regards to other paywares why they simply don't have them directed from the addon scenery folder ... instead all over the place and rather have a one stop shop you have to drive around your HD's looking for the scenery's ... guess it was to easy

With your Dunedin scenery , the ORBX stuff , just simply re-install , you won't need to go thru your passwords and registrations cos that would all be there .. just simply copy and let it overwrite ... Rad - you probably need to spend a little time flying the New Zealand skies before a further OE tiki tour

Maybe I should spend some time flying around NZ. I have not really taken out the BAE 146 for a spin in a while, and I quite enjoy the Super Caravan. I just need to get the scenery sorted and tweak the system.

Good plan , the 146 can get into anywhere , Wanaka was one place during one off the airshows .. but get your scenery and system sorted is a grand plan ..

Back home across the ditch - YMML - NZAA.

Tiki tour around Auckland

Hybrid RNP approach (I went visual early).

Throttled up for another approach (just a bit of fun).

On finals

Night time is when I have time to fly. I'm thinking after some flying in NZ, I'll head up north so when I fly night time here in NZ, it will be daytime up there.
