Looking good guys- was always a bit of a challenge squeezing in there with the displaced threshold! I don't quite think a 402 twin would quite be comfortable visiting the aerodrome Lawrie, although the Otamatea Aero Club aero club boys showed me a photo of a RAAF Caribou that got stuck in the mud there one winter. It would be more realistic with 0 AI parks on the right side of runway 25, it was a real struggle to park both a C182 and C172 alongside each other between the strip and the hangers. The fence line edging from the neighbouring house is actually quite close on the northern...

Hi ya Cap , Adrian good to see ya back /smile.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :) border= 0 alt= smile.gif />

Active Sky Next is newly released and is supposed to be good, - I think you can pretty much configure it yourself without the internet (though can't be sure). There's a free trial version available so you can't really go wrong. I read on a forum that it's really good around mountains, with updrafts and downdrafts etc, in addition to all the other tweaks you can do. I don't use FSX since getting P3D2 but as soon as they release a P3D2 compatible version I'm going to get it, - can't wait! /smile.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :) border= 0 alt= smile.gif...

QUOTE Does anyone have a realistic NZ airspace scenery file for FSX? ... The 'pretend' NZ airspace is driving me mad - NZ Center?...arg I'm keen to find it too. Kind of pisses me off. Cheers guys.

Thankyou, Timmo - I was sure there was something like that. /thumbup1.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :thumbup: border= 0 alt= thumbup1.gif />

Thanks for the link Ade I book marked the page .. dang that RAF Gutersloh dose look so inviting /ohmy.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :o border= 0 alt= ohmy.gif />

You could try this, from flightsim.com: FSX - FSX Misc. FSX Improved Runway Lights Name: rwylites.zip Size: 27,742 Date: 12-14-2006 Downloads: 18,894 FSX Improved Runway Lights. This file adds more realistic light colors with better distance visual. By Jose R. Navarro. Be aware that things like REX and ORBX have their own built-in tweakers for this kind of thing, and they will probably over-ride what you have set in the sim. Make sure you backup the default halo.bmp - renaming it halo.bmp.orig will do that.

Definitely. get them all. Queenstown does have a few issues as Ian mentioned but for me they aren't very significant and, in my opinion, the extra detail around the airport and surrounding area is certainly worth it.Queenstown has become one of my significant departure and/or arrival airports since getting the Orbx airport scenery.

I recconised that very cloud ... it floated past me this morning , so easy now to show a landscape on the PC that it could anywhere , specifically if ORBX is involved , photo-real prove exactly were you are , a specific landmark can be edited into a shot very easy yet the screen was taken in a totally different place . I honour the rule with honesty simply seldom do I fly outside New Zealand because here you don't have those long arduous flights over water for hours

No these are for FTX, from Plan-G I've got the Data Files but they are all csv. Have even installed Plan-G & tryed to import them from there.

QUOTE (toprob @ Jan 25 2014,8:28 PM) No problem there -- I can't see anything which doesn't belong. Just a bit of info on the NZPPmin.bgl file in Scenery\World\Scenery -- this is required whenever the airport elevation is changed. If you delete the NZPP scenery, then this would need to be removed as well, otherwise the default airport elevation won't be correct. But if you have Real NZ Paraparaumu installed, then it will have to be installed to get the correct elevation. It would be good to see a screenshot of the problem just so I know what isn't working...

Thanks Jeff, - I'll check that out next time I use Vector. It can look a bit weird with those random wide corridors.

Nice HU Sean , I do like the team all hanging in there around the PC checking it I guess /smile.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :) border= 0 alt= smile.gif />

QUOTE (AdrianPetford @ Jan 15 2014,3:31 PM) Yes, things get pretty weird down there /laugh.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :lol: border= 0 alt= laugh.gif /> I played around with this area when SCFA come out with there Connie for FS2002 .. /winkyy.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= ;) border= 0 alt= winkyy.gif /> looks like it has not changed .. I then moved to the warmer climb's of PNG

I saw Mister Cooks Avro .. my mind when directly to the movie "Those Magnificent Men in their Flying Machines" ... now one movie i need to shelve ! /biggrin.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :D border= 0 alt= biggrin.gif />

QUOTE 1. I tried setting the wind to be a nor wester to make runway 29 be the active, but its not, any ideas? I've tried for years ive to emulate and get correct weather and AI change to suit .. I have heard of it being done but still wont see the real N/W sky QUOTE 2. Is there any fix for the control tower at christchurch, as some views are blocked by the surrounding buildings. Currently that will be the best you get until I rebuild the airport.

With the registration, that seems to be a problem with the default (Carenado) Bonanza. The reg on the default Mooney can be changed but on the Bonanza it seems to be fixed as part of the paint for some reason. It's a beauty to fly though, - much nicer than the Mooney, so I'll probably stay with it for a while /dry.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= <_< border= 0 alt= dry.gif /> .
