RNZAF History

[Kea]

I don't know if anyone's done something like this before, (if someone has, I apologise - please link me) but I thought it would be a bit of fun if we all posted some screenshots of different aircraft used by the RNZAF over the years from our collective add-on arsenals. I know there's plenty of them spread out through the archives here. I'm not too concerned about the order they're in (historically) or if there's a few repeats of the same aircraft. So let's do it - screenies of all manner of past and present RNZAF birds, in all manner of paint jobs.

I'll kick off then shall I?


BAC 167 Strikemaster Mk.88 (1972-1992) over RNZAF Base Woodbourne

I think these posts are a great idea- first the cold war, now this. Perhaps next we could do NZ Airliners? If only my FS9 comp wasn't buggered at the moment..

[Naki]

Good idea - but have the same problem my FS PC is broke - will add when I can

[Fauville]

Yes, another great thread idea,

Going back a bit, somewhere in the Soloman Islands.....




and a couple of TAF shots

[Naki]

Nice shots Fauville - what island scenery is that?

Its the scenery that comes with the FDG2 Donationware Corsair pack, Vella la Vella airfield. it has AI Corair, dauntless and TBM doing circuits also.

Now a couple of RNZAF transport a/c from different era's
DH-104 1948 - 1981


Dak, 1943-1977

And something a little more modern, B757

[Ian Warren]

Great Shots Fauville , I was lucky enough to get a ride , as a bag off spud's / ballast during a twin rate flight in a Devon 2 hours test flight .. Damm that was fun running to the plane like INDIANA JONES great fun

The C47/DC3 Dakota, Skytrain , Gooney bird , AC-47 to LC47 .. 1977 ! I was at the crash gate on the corner of Avonhead / Ryans Road when three C47's come in low and saluted the NZCH tower in Vic formation ...

HEADS UP, ........ RNZAF History Anyone out there with photo's off the SHORT SUNDERLAND , Non published , personal photos , even if aircraft in the background .. Contact me , send a note , kick me

KEA It dose not matter doing 'repeats' Screen shots can never be copied , 'Idea Great '- maybe the same sometimes but people forget , who to say the first was the best ... and if to close to original , always link subject

[ardypilot]

I've dug though my screenshots to pick out all the RNZAF aircraft I could find:

By the way Fauville, where did you get that light blue Devon repaint from?

[Koyunbaba]

[ZK-Brock]

Some stuff that I've done in FS over the years:




Hercs crusin round

[Charl]

Heh you guys have used up all my screenshots.
KYB she's a beauty in FSX, all right. Your #6 with the dive brakes on is a winner.
Brock, let me guess that is the Capsim Herk and MAIW standing around...stock Whenuapai?
Did I mention there is a RNZAF Ai package...authentic Steve Jenks paints.
Trolly I still think the Harvards are the best photosubjects, nice shot there.
Except every time I enter Harvards in the MSSC, I get just about no votes.
Go figure...

[Fauville]

Andrew, the light blue Devon can be found on Flightsim, just search under DH-104. There is also a scheme for the NZ Warbirds Dove/Devon.

Charl ,agree about the Harvards, especially with so many skins available

[Naki]

Even though my FS PC is broken I can contribute with some pics I have done in the past:

Alphasim Harvards



Deane Baunton Iroquios




Captain Sim Herc




Jenks/Charls AI F-16 a RNZAF what might of been






Devon with Ian's paint


Default DC-3 with ARNZ paint


Shorts Singapore (unknown) - sorry very basic/old model but probably the only one for FS and in RNZAF scheme


Mustang/DC-3. Mustang is Warick Carters. DC-3 is default/ARNZ


Orion - KBT

[Fauville]

A couple of lesser known transports
HP67 Hastings


DC-6 (not the best textures)


and escorting some VIP's along the Kaikoura coast

Would have been interesting to hear a Hastings do a fly past - Wellitonian,s complained about the noise of the Bristols Freighters two engines ... imagine four of them

[hugh]

An older model, but an RNZAF Beaufighter of 489 sqn.

[Ace]

What about the early era jets? Is there any models of say... A Vampire?

Looked for an RNZAF Vampire in all the usual places and didn't find anything. Hope somebody can post one?

[creator2003]

Alphasim have a payware Vampire model that would just need painting up !!
