Thanks Naki ....I'm grabbing the Hawk now. What a great gesture from JF. I'll buy it once all this covert-19 stuff is over.

I don't think that we know anything about the Xbox version yet, and almost as little about the PC version:) But if you wanted speculation.... it won't be a 'mirror' of the PC version, but it will be close out of the box. There may be addons, but it will be a lot more closed than the PC version.

For anyone interested .... each of the above Australian classics (some of which were regular visitors to AKL during the 1970's and 80's) are now publicly available at HJG .... having been released "yesterday" (March 19th 2020) among the 103X new textures for its B707, B727, B737, DC-8, DC-9, L-1011 TRISTAR, and MD-80/90 virtual flight line for both FS2004 and FSX. For further information concerning these latest HJG offerings refer to the following-linked forum announcement .... HJG is located at the following web site address: Mark C AKL/NZ

Adamski ..... :thumbup: :thumbup:

That first shot is gorgeous. Wow! We're kind of, sort of looking at turning it into a C. So what you're saying is I really, really need to get X-Plane?

I've managed to source all the recommended libraries. It took a while as a couple of them appear to have dropped off the radar! So ... to save other people the time, here are the links: CDB-Library FF_Library JB_Library MisterX_Library NAPS_library (x-plained) ... NAPS_library OpenSceneryX PuF_Libs The_Handy_Objects_Library world-models I haven't had a chance to install anything yet, but will report back here as and when! Adam.

Yep that's pretty darn good. Excellent work.

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:

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!
