Since the release of thte VLC feilds I thought I should tour them. The first leg was Kaikoura to Westport then to Franz Joesf. Feel free to put your shots of the VLC feilds in here too.

An early start to the Trip


And we're away


Looking back at Kaikoura


Westport


WHOOPS, copilot said the gear was down....

.........It wasn't dry.gif

Towed from the runway and a few hours later I was fixed, amazing biggrin.gif


Goodbye Westport


Hello Franz Joesf


Its there, just look Closer biggrin.gif


Parked up at Franz Joesf

Day two started at Franz Joesf and would go onto NZFF then West Melton for a touch and go and finally stop at Ashburton for the night.

Nice day

Looks really good in het screenshots. clapping.gif

Other than the VLC and airports, are you running any kind of texture "enhancer"? Your skies have a more realistic sort of haze to them than how I see them on my setup.
Niels Albers: Flying unskillfully with MS Flight simulator since version 1...

David Gunson on Soviet ATC: "They have a super system there. When you want to fly from say Moscow to Leningrad, you are give three things: A height, a route and a speed. If you deviate from any of these three things you are joined by two MIG's on each wing and you land at the nearest available airfield. The passengers continue by coach, and the crew are never seen again. ... It's a super system, they don't get repetitive faults...
