FSX Seasprite

[Alex]

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


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.

Awesome shots there alex ,what camera mod are u using for that or are those default movements of FSX camera ?

[Alex]

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.

Sure does the boiling lakes 1 is my favorite

[Q300]

Great shots Alex! nice craft too

[ardypilot]

As Mike said, love those camera angle crops and edits there- a very nice display of the Kaman

[Ian Warren]

You gotta love that photoreal stuff and who better to take us for a tour , great pics Alex

[Charl]

Very nice Alex, any VC shots for us?

[Alex]

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

Alex

[Charl]

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

[Alex]

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

[Alex]

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???
