Here are a few shots from the FSX Seasprite (this thread) around Rotorua. Shown is the Rotorua Photoreal and RealNZ Rotorua Airport by Robin Corn, and the Government Gardens and Mt Tarawera photoreal by Tim Barnes.

On the ground at Rotorua

Lifting off, and the gear up - nice animation :thumbup:

Coming in for a quick landing at the Government Gardens - with a vista of the city centre at the moment

In front of the museum

Heading out south-east to Mt Tarawera

But first a quick detour over Lake Okareka...

Boiling pools are scattered around this Thermal District...

We'll come in from the south-west, over Lake Rotomahana

Looking back at Rotomahana as we climb over the 1111m high mountain

A quick glance over towards Lake Rerewhakaaitu; generally accepted as the southernmost lake in the Rotorua District

The old airfield on Mt. Tarawera, which has fallen into disuse

Now we're turning back west towards Rotorua

Thanks for viewing.

I was just mucking around in the stock spot view mode there, and then cropped (and rotated a couple) them - which gives them the interesting angles. :wink2:

Very nice Alex, any VC shots for us?

No sorry, was actually flying that all from the Spot...

OK so try actually landing it this time - guess that would put you behind the wheel, yes?

Err, I did, in the Govt Gardens.

Seeing as this was a 'sightseeing' flight, I preferred to keep looking outside the cockpit instead of inside. Horribly unrealistic surely, but it's what I do...

Awesome shots, Alex

Especially the boiling pools one :thumbup:

Thanks Matt; I prefer the ones above and below it a lot more, but that boiling pools one seems to draw people in...

Y'know, Alex is being very coy about showing us the inside of this helicopter.
I wonder if he doesn't get on with the crewmembers, or is there perhaps some truly sinister reason behind all this reticence???
A full sickbag

perhaps???
