Got sick of flying in the real world weather with rain, clouds etc. Dialed up a fantastic summers day (yeah right - Wellington but you can always dream) and flew from NZPP to NZWN as I haven't really explored the scenery around here yet (even though I have had Robins Wellington for a while now - I usually fly into Wellington from Marlborough).

I was blown away by the GNZLAP AI at NZPP (GMT 1900) & the photo real scenery that this area offers with RealNZ Welly.
I also like the autogen houses around NZPP - pity the whole country isnt populated like this.



I chased this red & blue 152 Aerobat all the way to Wellington - I should of passed him but I took the scenic route


I just had to get a photo opportunity in here - a fine line up of Cessna 152s, 172s and a 182












Kapiti Island




The Hutt Valley in the distance




The Hutt River


I think this is Days Bay - nothing beats a ferry ride from Wellington across the harbour to Days Bay on a nice summers day

Great Shots Paul , at times the weather depress,s me , nothing like a bright summers day flying that scenery

Cool shots, but isn't that Paraparaumu? (NZPP) PM is Palmerston North.

whoops! - Ill change it

Nice nice nice

Thanks for sharing

Realy great shots Naki! Love that shot with all the Cessna's lined up, EKL

Yeah, Good stuff.

Looks like one of those flights when you had to be out of the plane more than in to capture the shots......

I actually enjoy the bad weather flying to a nice sunny day as i like to use abit of IFR and VFR to make it lots more fun ,did some full night flying the other night in a chopper "no AutoPilot" to NZAP / ,really nice shots all the same and a good day to boot thanks for sharing

Ah awesome stuff Naki these are some of my favorites probably after the RNZ Marlborough

Thanks guys - another boo boo - of course thats not Kapiti - I did have a shot of it but I must of deleted it and got confused - I was actually looking at the chunk of land in the distance thinking that was my shot of Kapiti - which is course the South Island - well thats my excuse anyway.

..and yes I must do some more IFR flights but at the moment just fed up with not seeing the great scenery we hae around here.

Yep Bazza - was hanging from the wingtip and wheel pants for most of the flight taking photos.

Very nice shots, are these shots taken in FS9

Cheers

Very nice Naki.
I'm a bit of a fan when it comes to simming in Wellington.

Very nice
You must have your sim running well Looks very realistic.

Thanks for the comments - its taken in FS9

Nice shots Naki.
Those houses are pretty real looking.
It seems the RealNZ scenery is definitely worth it - every shot you see that has the RNZ scenery looks really good.

None taken I was just showing off what can be achieved with good AI and scenery add ons - not forgetting the Zinertech water features and the Flight 1 172
