Thanks toprob I thought I was going nuts ha ha. When ms2020 introduces helicopters I may move on from fsx but my simulator is a full scale MD500E. I have set my sim up with firefighterX and added a sling option to pick up liftable objects Really enjoy nz scenery and set up a base with object placement near my home in Upper Hutt Thanks heaps Rhys

I haven't thought of them as journalists for years. Objective factual reporting has long been extinct. I call them 'story fabricators' because that is what they do. They look at what is happening, and pick an item, and build a story on that. What is actually published will depend on the proprietor's political leanings and anything that may have been factual in the original will be buried in speculation and smear. Anything will do, so long as it sells another paper or generates an extra click on a website :angry: :angry: :angry: Please don't quote me on that - it might be commercial in...

Now listed on Trademe with a $1 reserve:

Thanks cowpatz

Many thanks, Rob. I'd been away from simming too long. I've forgotten how to properly search.

Great link CP .. I really wish I could roll back 30 or so years and get into some structured learning again. Had a chuckle at the heading "unusual attitudes" ...my boss constantly reminds me that I have one.

You enjoy it CP , You've earnt it :thumbup:

Unless there is a new NZ airport, I'm out ... keeping my dollars for NZ stuff only right now :) (come on Robbiiiiieeeeeee...!!!!! :)

Well that is a big relief. It was hopeless in P3D (well for online flying anyway).

Thanks heaps Sonny!

Although real world there is no reason that it cannot be applied to the flight simulation world (Especially MSFS with its accurate scenery depiction). Got the same email, downloaded and read. Actually, I 'real-plan' all my sim flights like this when I am practicing local flights prior to do them IRL. I use a real E6B flight computer too! (I want to buy a metal one - my card one has too much 'play' in it) I just purchased maps for the area (Christchurch, Canterbury and surrounds), and a new aviation scale ruler (since I seem to have lost my last one) and I go through this same process, though...

Have you guys flown out to Longreach yet, to see the Qantas 747, 707, Constellation, Catalina, etc ?

I've been avoiding NZ scenery upgrades for the same reason - the scenery packs they've released for other parts of the world so far have been pretty solid.

Alright. Thanks

Thanks everybody for great answers. I am afraid I have to go for 2 TB SSD and there is none for 1,500 buck price tag for that for laptop. Regards, Aharon

I've also seen a screenshot with the NZ Warbirds' DHC Beaver in the background. Now I know next to nothing about the anime except the name Spike Spiegel but a Beaver is about the last thing I expected to see in the live-action adaptation! :lol: My wife and I watched the the preview too - she wasn't keen but I was really drawn into it.
