NZFF

Well I decided to do a flight based on a flight I did in real life, with the same aircraft (Piper Cherokee), starting at NZKF Kaipara Flats, over The Dome for a quick stop at NZSL Sprighill, then out to the coast to Pakiri Beach, over Pakiri Hill to Leigh (my hometown) down the coast to Mahurangi Harbour, then back to Kaipara Flats over Warkworth. The flight route is the same but the weather and time of day is different as I quite like dusk in FSX and REX just decided that today was going to be very cloudy with low lying fog, probably incredibly unsafe and illegal in real life, but hey its FSX, and it looks pretty

Sceneries used are; freeware Kaipara Flats, freeware Springhill, and of course the amazing, accurate, beautiful Vector Land Class!! thank you very much Timmo for these great addons




Climbing quickly to clear The Dome







Flying over the notorious Dome Valley part of SH1



Quick stop at Springhill to have a look at the Springhill Aviation Club (in which im a member). Ignore the elevation issue, im sure this will be attended to in a future VLC update.



Heading NE out to the coast



Pakiri Beach and just about to fly over Pakiri Hill to the right

Goat Island Marine Reserve -first Marine Reserve in NZ, very accurate in VLC-just like the real thing

Looking back at Cape Rodney, Leigh is just to the left.

Ti Point, with Omaha beach in the background.

The tip of Tawharanui Regional Park, with Coromandel Peninsula in the background.

Kawau Bay.

Tawharanui Regional Park with Little Barrier Island in the background

Scotts Point and Mahurangi Harbour.

DUB DUB!!/ WW/ Warkworth







On final approach to NZKF Kaipara Flats. Ignore the elevation issue, im sure this will be attended to in a future VLC update.

As seen from someone in the 'tower'. Flying over the masses of Southern Paprika Greenhouses.

Taxiing to parking

All shut down after an amazing flight..time for coffee


Hope you enjoyed my little tour

Cheers, Jimmy

Beautiful screens!.....the weather looks marginal!...The Tawharanui Regional Park, Goat Island, Leigh are one of my favourite areas of NZ ..camped in those spots many times.

Madkudu , Jimmy , sorry had to rate this as a FIVE 'my little tour' ... brilliant screens , I hope your going to continue further afield because i no many are going to enjoy many more off these .

Amazing clarity, really awesome screenshots there madkudu!

That's pretty cool that the big greenhouses are included- thats what I use to find KF when flying up that way in real life, otherwise you could quite easily miss it!

Thanks for the comments glad you liked them,
I'll hopefully do another VLC NZ flight sometime soon and post.

Cheers, Jimmy

Awesome shots mate

Had to have a look myself...a couple of shots of a quck trip from Springhill to Dairy Flat via the coastal areas
