Suppose to be a series of shots from Omaka (yes I know Omaka again but its my favourite scenery) to Picton to Wellington but FS issues (CTDs etc - I think it is now fixed - probelm with A/c not scenery) stopped my flight dead just outside Picton.

Nice pics, funny you missed the Pogo Stick at Picton...
That is a well-crafted model - I snap judge models on how realistically the prop pitch works from the VC (Milton Shupe being the master at this).
This one passes muster.
Quite luxuriously appointed aircraft too, these Pipers.

Sweet shots of a sweet bird Naki :thumbup:

Great to see such a finely detailed model of a relatively forgotten light twin. Love cruising around the new Coromandel scenery with it, as well as the Glacier Bay V2 and Tongass/ Misty Fjiord scenery

Looks a lot nicer than a Seneca, better proportions and much lower cleaner line

Looks like a nice aircraft there Naki, but was causing CTD's? :unsure:

Great pics as well, nice to see Marlborough shown around ... again ... :rolleyes:

Thanks guys

Charl this model is modeled on a Twin Comanche which has been extensively modernised for the AOPA (American Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association) win a plane comp - the mods include fancy avionics, paint job, interior furnishings and various speed mods (cowls etc)

Alfashark - yep Glacier Bay/Tongass is one of my favourite areas to fly the Twin Comanche.

Alex my CTDs were caused by all a/c with GPS sytems built in the panel for some reason - weird! - Hopefully this is now fixed

Dreamfleet Baron and that fancy GPS installation springs to mind - would crash every other plane on my sim and is now consigned to the past tense.

hmmm interesting comment about the Baron Charl that I am not the only one with these problems - I actually had the Baron working fine in my old PC/FS but cant load the GPS for it in in my new system - I think the CTD problem actually lies with the Eaglesoft Cirrus not the Eaglesoft Twin Comanche .
