NZFF

I purchased the latest PC Pilot magazine the other day and on the Cover CD was an FSX updated version of Milton Shaupes Dash 7... what was i to do, onto flightsim dot com and get the Newmans paint... add it to my FS hangar and away we go... starting from Tekapo and heading to NZCH

Great Screens .. pity the NZCH scenery tho

A classy looking aircraft! Are you prop textures OK? I seem to remember them being a problem for some of the older Dash's (and ATR).

What's the cockpit like?

Adamski, the prop textures are all good, no problems with them, when i put the newmans paint in i just copied the textures out of the paint that came with it.
Ian, im working on the scenery, having done a complete re-install of FSX & Acceleration its going to take a little to get it all sorted again, NZCH is currently v1.3 of the snowmans NZCH

Hey Ian, is there any way of converting your NZCH FS9 scenery to fsx? It sure would beat everything out there at the moment.

Thanx LF .. Heck,s that now really has become a retro airport , it look nothing like that today , there is a new Christchurch incoming , unfortunately cannot change the FS9 model as most models have been lost .

That's a shame, but a new one sounds great. I know what you mean, the airport has changed heaps, every time I go there end end up getting more and more lost.

There is a brilliant book by Tony Phillips 'With Great Foresight' The Story of Christchurch International Airport , this book id recommend to anyone , the quality of the print and one if you do not read for year just the study of the photos , just outstanding

Just gave you some stars great shots !

Marty , Twas a Movie about you years back .... It was called STARMAN

Ok, so im still playing around with the Dash-7 this time starting in Nelson (snowmans excellent freeware) and heading for Ohakea (Gavin Andrews Freeware)

I may be the first to say this ya security fence is backwards Dang!

I never noticed that Ian... though i havent added any fencing to the image, its all in the scenery pack

I have this problem ... some strange women in her REDsecurity rav looks at me the wrong way all the time then gos off and breaks all the rules .... little like the our leaders and many others with a little power ... maybe the fences are designed to us safe from them

Nice shots I had a fly on that .....boy, seems like years ago now (it was bloody years ago) a pity they didn't survive.

Does this bird have a VC?

Hi Connor, yes this does have a VC thats actually pretty good, bear in mind that in FSX it is a FS9 portover but so far im not having issues with it
Splitpin, it is a shame they didnt survive, but if they had of used Dash 8s on the longer routes and used the Dash 7s on the short haul short strip routes like Glentanner - CHCH or Ashburton - Methven they might have done a lot better
