Boy the Realair SF-260 is showing its age now. Just thinks back when it came out it was the bees knees as far as FSX ga planes were concerned. All that high detail....Now it pales in comparrison. Still a very nice plane to fly though.

Yeah it needs a VC upgrade.....maybe Realair wil do one with a SF-260TP variant?

Finally got around to another leg..was going to take the Birddog but wanted to try out the revised Tecnam's GPS and autopilot

NZWK to NZRO


Just love this terminal..wonder if it leaks?


For Marty




VC view including revised GPS and new autopilot


Mt Edgecumbe


Like the way the power lines follwothe fire breaks in VLC


My clouds (they are HD freeware ones) looking quite good in this shot




Safely on the deck at Rotovegas

They put an auto pilot into the sierra?? Bah!!!! Looks like a similar unit in the Bay Tower RV7. Is that an upgrade with v1.2 Sierra? I have not updated yet.

Before leaving the Bay was going to do a jaunt around the BOP Islands/Volcanoes (timmo's photoreal volcanoes) in the Catalina but didn't have enough time so took something faster...

Mt Tarawera





Motiti Island...two airstrips on this one...caught many a fish just off many of these islands


Mayor Island off the coast of Tauranga




The active White Island






...and Whale Island just off the coast of Whakatane with Mt Edgecumbe in the distance.


..heading back to Rotorua justs before the sun sets

Auto pilot is an upgrade with the Tecnam..same unit as the RV-7 I believe

Naki,

Is the Carenado Bonanza livery in your first post in this thread publicly available? If so, where can one get it? It looks pretty nice!

P.S. The shots throughout this series look fantastic!
