Okay, - I finally managed to get the engines started and the controls to move biggrin.gif . Here are some pics of my celebratory flight over west Auckland.



It got a bit cloudy towards the coast.



... and then it brightened up.



...a lot.



But then it was time to land...



and you really don't want to see what happened next... angry.gif

All *stunning* shots, Dave. Can't get enough pics of the Vulcan! #1 and #2 are real winners!

Don't tell me ... no visa, no clearance and you pancaked on 05R ... with nuclear (nookyuler) weapons on-board! Two sniffer dogs began to glow in the dark!

Thanks, guys. It's easy to get nice shots of such a charismatic plane, harder to fly it well.

The RNZAF roundel was put on nose in gratitude for maintain and repairs done at Ohakea after many visits .

I thought you might suggest that cool.gif . I've no idea how, when, where etc but I'd be willing to have a bash. It would make for a cool screeny or two if a bunch of Vulcanites could manage some kind of formation, - not that you can actually see very much out the window... It will also probably take me about half an hour to take off, but we could disable collisions and I think it would be a good laugh. Holding a heading, altitude and speed will be a challenge for me, being mainly a screenshot pilot of late.

Probably shouldn't go too fast either:

It would be great if you wouldn't mind organising it, - what do I have to do? A Sunday would be good for me. Can you send a personal message so we don't bore everyone silly in this thread with arrangements?

I,m sure we can arrange a flight with many more Vulcanites on the Sunday , best thing to do first is setup your Team-Speak 3 , only requires a desktop mic , Super easy - the other part in setting up the MP is only 5 ta maybe 10 minutes setting up your Multiplay GameSpy user account smile.gif
