QUOTE (mavman @ Oct 20 2008, 11:02 AM) Sorry to say the "Pacific Wave" is no longer applied to Air NZ aircraft when they are repainted. It is no longer part of Air NZ's brand characteristic. Hey, what do you know! I never noticed that. So what are they going to use in place of the pacifc wave then? Coz without it, their aircraft rival Air Post as far as most boring looking livery goes.

How about the C206. More than enough power to climb out of trouble, high wing so good views, 6 seats so spacious and with good capacity, usual Cessna flying qualities and also some NZ repaints for it. Can be flown slowly when you want more time for the views, but with a high enough cruise speed to get from A to B the same day. smooth landings.

Hey, I think I remember a thread about this earlier on this year. Turns out you started it /laugh.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :lol: border= 0 alt= laugh.gif /> Thread Have a great trip anyway:) Cheers Daniel

I remember seeing a 3 view of that - didn't know they actually built it - that was the Britten side of Britten Norman - the Norman side of Britten Norman also made some interesting aircraft that almost made it - the Firecracker, Turbo Firecracker (military trainers), the Fieldmaster (ag plane) and the Freelance (which orginally was the BN-3 Nymph - sort of a 172 look alike).

Hmm..from what I can remember, I think either the tail hook key or wing fold might have done it....I know one of those opens the stairs from under the tail section. If it's not one of those, probably just the normal shift + e, shift + e 2 etc.

Mmph and I thought I was being cute in finding an FS5 screenshot. /cool.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= B-) border= 0 alt= cool.gif /> Have to modify the histogram a little then, back to '84. Budget too, add maybe 5 million pounds for that one. You're right, though...kids always reaching for that ultimate toy, and it's always - just - out of reach.

Thanks for the HU Ian - my vote is in. Some difficult choices - helicopters?? Some not so...Kai Tak anyone?

I spent $7000 on my pc two years ago and it runs FS9 no problem. stick fs10 on there and it runs like a snail

Guess I should have made the /winkyy.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= ;) border= 0 alt= winkyy.gif /> smiley a bit more prominent /dry.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= <_< border= 0 alt= dry.gif />

Beaten! I was reading this article last night and thinking... "I should post that bit about the approach being +/- 30 Degrees for Cat A/B and +/- 15 for Cat C/D"... So technically the Tauranga approach is "straight in"...

Heh... thats what i initially thought too.. but I think by 2 'flipper' buttons, they mean the little grey buttons on the front face of the main unit... I am sure the black "F1 style paddles" looking things are part of the...

Thanks Charl. I would like to look at getting the Alphasim one, but I'm betting it will be too expensive for me right now. So I look forward to the screenshots that will hopefully be posted here /biggrin.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :D border= 0 alt= biggrin.gif /> Thanks for the links.

something went weird. I fiddled with activating and moving up and down priority and it worked. not a huge difference but ohakea definatly isnt a desert anymore

QUOTE (Timmo @ Sep 18 2008, 01:12 PM) economies of scale on their side (i.e. the less people buy them the more expensive they have to make each unit) I do like your thinking Tim /smile.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :) border= 0 alt= smile.gif /> 'LETS BUY IT' /biggrin.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :D border= 0 alt= biggrin.gif />

The coastlines look more like a faulty topo scenery install than mesh. Here's the quick answer to why there are not as many FSX addons: Most freeware projects take a long time to complete, from when someone decides to start a project to when it is completed is more likely to be a year or two. (I'm not talking about actual development time, most of this is just psyching yourself up to start:) And once you finish a project and look to start another, you can either use the skills you've gained and start another FS2004 project, or take another year or two to learn to develop for FSX....

Ask for it to be removed for sure. Other people uploading your file to other sites seems to relatively common though, which can be a bit of a pain. Alex I guess so, they uploaded my LOTR paint but gave me credit so that doesn't bother me, but to take away my credit... I could just try and upload them myself to cause trouble /rolleyes.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :rolleyes: border= 0 alt=...

Hmm...for that price, I think I'll stick with a joystick anyway /wink.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :wink2: border= 0 alt= wink.gif />
