Recently I went for a flight in ZK-MAD, a Pitts Special down at Ardmore.

I went ahead and purchased the a flightsim model of the aircraft, a payware version from Pureflight Simulations, which turned out to be not as good as I expected. Instead, 'Cbris' volunteered to paint me the L.I.C. Christian Eagle II, ( which is surprisingly similar to the Pitts, both in shape and performance)in the ZK-MAD colors for me.

Today, I took her up for a flight around Queenstown. Here are 16 screenshots I took (1.65mb):

A big thanks to Chris for his awesome paintjob! All I had to do was give him a photo and he managed this scheme in just a few days! A public version (which does not include the words 'TROLLY' on the tail ;) ) will be released on avsim soon.

Cheers.

Excellent shots and paint scheme - my favourite free ware model and a NZ scheme was on my wish list

By the way what water affects are you using?

Thanks people.

The Red Baron Entertainment free water/landclass package.

you never cease to amaze me at the quality of graphics coming out of your system...

Maybe that is because Queenstown is in the middle of the nowhere, not much autogen around... fairly good FPS.

If I sat in my PMDG 1900d cockpit at YSSY, it would be a completely different story!
