Is that VLC scenery?

Might be enough of an excuse to buy it if it is, NZFF is just down the road.

Wonderful shots SP. LOVE those Mustang pics.
if I could suggest one thing for future reference re the Mustang (to improve realism)
When the engine is off and parked up the Mustang lets it all hang out. Flaps down, main gear covers hang. With the engine running and hydraulic pressure up, these are pulled in as required.
Would certainly look the part parked up like this in your next shots biggrin.gif

That's some sharp shooting! thumbup1.gif

And to further Alister's comments about the gear doors/flaps... I haven't tried it with the WBS model, but the old A2A '51 would gradually leak pressure to the doors if you waited long enough.
I'm pretty sure the flaps would need to be left somewhat extended to get them to droop after shutdown, since they would more than likely have a mechanical up-lock when they were in the fully retracted position.

Get your 'Stangs out... Shut them down and go make a coffee, have a smoke, check the mailbox, have a shower... Come back and check the position of the doors winkyy.gif
