NZPP to NZWN

[Naki]

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

[FlyingKiwi]

[Naki]

[ZK-MAT]

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

[Bazza]

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

[hamstickZKFLT]

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

[Naki]

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

[Daniel]

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

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
