NZFF

Tried to continue my flight from NZWB to NZWG in the Project Fokker F-28-1000 dressed in a classy Argentinian Air Force paint. My comp CTD'ed about over Kaikoura, but it was great while it lasted. This bird sounds great, I just love winding her up for takeoff

I tried editing the shots a wee bit, tell me what you think.

1. Starting Up:


2. Taxiing out to Rwy 6:


3. Passing the grass runway:


4. Lining Up:


5. Cleared for Takeoff:


6. Rotate!


7. Gear Up!


8. Passing back over Blenheim:


9. Nice day up there!


10. Christchurch way off in the distance:




That's all, folks!

Wish i could've seen (and heard!) it- [plug] now it's just some incredible airline with a Reims 406 [/plug]

I'm not sure what it is, but i just LOVE pic 10 if I do say so myself

It has a bit of a vintage AP- No Alt select etc-
Alt hold holds the current Alt
Same with V/s
Same with Heading
Same with speed

Which means a lot of hand-flying, but this things great to fly so it's ok.

Strange thing is it has an auto-land- you're hand flying when you shouldn't be, and you aren't when you should!

Love this model, I used to have it installed yonks ago myself. Found this virtual airline screenshot I took from May 2004:

Great combo of angles and edits by the way- look forward to seeing more from you man!
