Mt Edgecumbe


Looking back towards Whakatane and White Island in the distance

Fantastic shots, Naki..... ...!

Wonderful scenery!

....but don't forget to "enable" [Objects/Aircraft cast shadows] in the Options Menu... ...!

It decreases the Frame Rate, but without shadows, ground objects/aircraft always look as though they are floating in the air!... ...!

Paul...G-BPLF...FS 2004...FS Nav...and but a shadow of my former self!... ...!

Sweet Screens Paul , Mt Edgecumbe is one hill that has diffineition in texture , a landmark that is so easy to recall and have not been up that way well over 15 years

Hi Naki, whered you get that Whaktane airport scenery from and the airfield you landed at? also the nz sheme for your C185? And hows that Technam? got a few hrs on the Hobs yet?

I usually just flick through this sub forum, enjoy the shots then log off, but these shots are so realistic they deserve comments!

I was flying through WK yesterday and you just can't get any more accurate. This VLC is the business!

Thanks guys

The Wahakatne scenery is Tims Barnes (as per VLC) ..search Tim Barnes in the Avsim library

The NZ scheme is Carenados and it came with the 185.

Yes the Tecnam is great ..one of my favourites ..certainly for circuit work and short flights...the Hobbs meter is clicking over and probably done 3 hours already with the limited amount of time I get to fly. Its a great plane to fly to observe the scenery so its spending some time over my VLC and Orbx scenery.
