The post was insiders-only, but the video is on YouTube.

Yep that's pretty darn good. Excellent work.

This's the last installment by me in regard this particular presentation :) Painted by Tony MADGE .... the following is selection of 5 B727-100's that've supported Australian air logistics operations over a period of 22 years .... and some of which had AKL connections during the 80's and 90's ;) BLOODSTOCK AIR SERVICES B727-25F VH-LAP "Phar Lap" (1984). BLOODSTOCK AIR SERVICES was formed during 1983 .... and based at MEL, Australia. It intended to specialize in the air transportation of bloodstock/horses .... within Australia and across the Tasman to New Zealand .... and which, at...

Charl, when the R22 appeared, I installed it, and with a primitive Logitech joystick, I managed to fly it in a square - or more correctly a rectangle, at about 30' AGL. Up, forward, right, backwards, left and down. That was quite enough for me. :cheers: Mike

"IF" .... anyone's interested .... the above AIR NZ and ex-AIR NZ DC-8-52 textures are now available from HJG and per the groups December/Christmas 2019 website update of 2 days ago ..... HJG's DECEMBER/CHRISTMAS 2019 WEBSITE UPDATE These above presented textures .... and their supporting aircraft base packs (3D models and FDE) too .... are both FS2004 native and FSX portable. The supporting DC-8-50 panels and gauges/core files (2X versions of DC-8-50 panel are offered by HJG .... both non-INS and INS featured) are both FS2004 native and FSX portable .... The customized FS2004...

Once you get your head around it just being different, it's damn good. Not perfect, but good. It's so far ahead of P3D and FSX in lighting, flight dynamics and scenery structure. Where it's lacking is AI traffic, weather visuals and water; although the water can be hit and miss. There's some great addons out for it now.

Looks brilliant. AIG are a giant freeware contributor to the sims. If this tool indeed works in FS9 I may just reconstruct that huge world while waiting for MSFS2020

Will most definitely check this out ....cheers CP :thumbup:

This is a community converted model from XP9 so a lot of work was done to make it XP11 compatible. There is a lot of work going into the next release of this already.

Too bad the company is not 75 years old :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: And too bad they stopped selling MD-11s :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry:

Yeah, doing a proper version of the Coromandel has always been near the top of my list, I actually started on this a few years ago when the Auckland heli rescue people wanted me to do some areas for their training -- they were planning on flying me around Auckland and the Coromandel etc, and lend me a car for the Coromandel airfields, but this never eventuated. In the meantime I'd done the mesh and photo scenery, for Prepar3d first, so it about half done:) So my dream is that one day I just do a road trip around the entire Peninsula. I can remember back I the good old days, this wouldn't have...

I must have hit the download site at a good time; came down in under 2 minutes! :)

Everyone remember these .... "the whistling wheelbarrows" .... a sight for sore eyes if not one also resulting in sore ears too due to the shrill idle tone of those 4 RR DART turbo-props :) AW-650-222 ARGOSY ZK-SAF AW-650-222 ARGOSY ZK-SAL - leased from IPEC AVIATION AW-650-222 ARGOSY ZK-SAL - leased from IPEC AVIATION with "SAFE AIR CANGO" titles Note the spelling of the word CARGO in the very last image .... which appears as "CANGO". That's not a typographical or texture error, but rather, it's how this particular aircraft (leased-in from IPEC AVIATION)...

Flightbeam is having a sale at the moment, with NZWN down to US$15.99. I said I wouldn't buy it until I released NZCH, but now is the time!

It's good to see this happening. Now, AFS2 seems to have quite a lot of X-Plane DNA in it, so is it OK if I keep badgering you about developing for AFS2 as well? :D MikeW

7Zip extracts without errors Kelvin. Thanks for your good work. great, glad it worked.
