The second reason why I don't always take screenshots is the nature of this sim. Sure, it looks so real you'd think that I'd want to shoot everything, but it also behaves so real, so I get engrossed in the flying. This is impossible to explain, I think I've tried before and failed, but it has a lot to do with a much more effective immersion.
I fly a lot in this part of the world in MSFS, there's something about it, the way the weather and landscape changes during the flight. Here I was planning NZMC to NZGY, but there was a guy in a C152 who seemed to want to tag along, so I refueled and headed on to Martin's Bay. I lost him, of course, as he couldn't climb over the mountains and keep up.
By the way, I know it annoys some people that I leave the multiplayer labels on, but I like it knowing that the skies are full of other happy folk...




After beautiful clear skies all the way (albeit bumpy), the clouds were waiting at Queenstown.

...until then, I hadn't noticed that the temperature was dropping, until the ice appeared. Minus 5 at this point.



Refueling at Glenorchy.


Queenstown is always a popular destination!

Those bloody trees... Where's Orbx when you need them? My first attempt at landing had a truck on the runway!

Shut down and listening to the birds. I am really shut down, but my prop keeps on spinning.
