EDIT: Sorry, didn't realise that the chatbox was in some of those shots

That harbour you were flying over in Auckland is the Manukau Harbour

Great stuff!!! I love the Dash 8-300. Thanks for sharing

And the orginal Dash8-300 no less, kewl B)

Great stuff Matt, nice to see your flight.

Alex

that's not the real NZNP, where's the VOR station in the middle of the runway?

That is the Manukau harbour and from looking at the screen shot I take it you must have got a " cancel the clark departure, climb runway heading 231 to 10dme ,climb unrestricted to 12thousand ( or whatever level planned) because otherwise the clark departure requires a mandatory left turn at 500ft. B)

nice flight

Thanks guys .

Zöltuger: I think this NZNP is from the Maui2004 scenery, which is (possibly) why the VOR station isn't in the middle of the runway

Towerguy: I was actually uncontrolled at the time of departure, so I was flying the standard OT5 departure, seeing as there was no other traffic in the air, and planned altitude was FL160.

Matt

Maybe Towerguy assumed you were on the clark departure and not on the OT5 because the OT5 is the one jets usually use? (The AIP says "Jets will be issued a WESTPOINT FIVE departure")

Yep, OT5 is the one that jets normally use, but I decided to fly it on this flight, even though normally it would fly the CLARK departure.

ZK-TJL, what aircraft is that in your picture?? The Origin one??

That looks like the stock FS Beechcraft 350. I think you can download the repaint from flightsim.co.nz.

What Scenery are you using here?? Thanks

For NZAA it was just the default scenery with a custom afcad, and for NZNP, it is the Maui 2004 scenery
