Marty - did you have to change the season for those? Seems to be an awful lot of that white stuff around (covering that *green* stuff laugh.gif).

The cirrus on that Strikemaster shot is *superb*!

They were all "shot" in winter setting. Dont you just love VLC....eg.. #2 screen, the aircraft is incidental, but look at the coast in the distance...theres real depth....you feel like your up on that mountain range looking down........Im going to be enjoying this for years, and i still think the uses go way beyond fltsim....love it.
Thanks for looking Bra Boy. winkyy.gif

Rob, thank you very much....but , as i have said many times before....all i do is put the bits together....all the real work is done before i even start.
I was showing VLC off to a friend from Taiwan (a simmer) and his jaw was on the floor .....its certainly changed the way i sim. New_Zealand_etc.gif

Funny you should say that ... but ... in this *disgusting* weather we're having right now in AKL - really gusty and 100% humidity ... there's been some poor chopper flying around nearby. He's either lost, or helping someone out who is. Either way, he must be a pretty brave/skilled pilot (that you, Chopper Nut??) notworthy.gif.

If I had to choose, I'd go with number one. Took me a while to realize these were the NZ Alps rather the European version. Hate to ask but which side of the road do you guys use for driving?

The same as in the UK - left hand side. Ditto in Australia. Must drive the car exporters nuts!

Thanks OD.....not as high as the Euro alps, but impressive. Most of those shots were just approaching the Alps...or on the otherside. I think the strikemaster shot was about midway, going west to east.
