What scenery is that? Nice pic!

That's a FSX version of what was the old Godzone 'Te Anau'. Maybe a month away at the moment.

Matey .... You and your fav! ... a poli , of sorts,I153/16 .. more you

Y'know, what the FS community really needs is a great (FSX) I-16, with every rivet, the motley paint job, a twitchy flight model and that growl. I'd pay anything.

A more dedicated contributor to NZFF would be hard to find: Ã‚Â£3 up front, just to enter a screenshot

But Ian's right, we need a 153. There's something totally off the wall about a biplane that can pick it's wheels up...

You kinda make it sound easy -- if it was anything like the I-16, then it wasn't:) This is from the NZ Fighter Pilot's Museum site:

Check the "brake spring" is set - check the handle lock is released (allows the retraction handle to rotate) select another handle for the "hoist" ratchet gear to the up position and then start to crank like mad!! 44 turns later you can see the wheels entering the belly of the aeroplane underneath you - suddenly the handle stiffens, a last turn or half turn and "hurrah" 2 red lights telling you the wheels are up.[/quote]
