NZFF

Exept the signature, it look so real! Congrat, Bug

This is also one of my favorite aircraft! The FSX package is simply awesome in my opinion. The 3D (actually rendered in 3D) is very hard to beat. Plus, this aircraft has a stall speed of 40 knots! I have written a full review in the next Computer Pilot Magazine if anyone here reads/subscribes. Certainly worth looking at if you like island hopping, STOL style operations or bush flying. I'd imagine it would be quite a versatile aircraft for some flight ops in New Zealand!

QUOTE (Splitpin @ Feb 17 2011, 03:37 PM) Yep....JK has zillions of repaints, just amazing...i only found it by "googleing".......do you know of any other RNZAF paints for the WBS 51 Nakiman? Jan seems to hide his talents somewhat. Far too modest, I reckon. Either that or he likes to keep a low profile or he'd be inundated with requests from people like us ;-) EDIT: Naki's just posted a whole raft of repaints for me to add to the NZFSIM site (thanks, Naki) ... can't remember what was on there, but I'll soon find out!

nice screen bud something a bit different !. Jeesh if our huey boys need to go to oz they stick em on little bamboo rafts n give em paddles. /laugh.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :lol: border= 0 alt= laugh.gif />

Zk-TNR (WB566) was the chippie at Wanaka '94 on the Sunday, was front and centre in front of the gold stand at the fence taking some shots when it hit the ground, got one a second after impact with the dust up, no slide just straight pancake stop. Very sad.

Woaww /thumbup1.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :thumbup: border= 0 alt= thumbup1.gif />

Just pulling you leg OD /winkyy.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= ;) border= 0 alt= winkyy.gif /> ...but whatever you call it.....i love it /thumbup1.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :thumbup: border= 0 alt= thumbup1.gif />

QUOTE (Splitpin @ Feb 13 2011, 10:43 PM) Fair comment Andrew...i think i read on the website that a sound upgrade of some sort is coming, so maybe it will include accurate internals. Oh bother, up till now I've always been 'hearing' those sounds /blink.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :blink: border= 0 alt= blink.gif /> and so just now had to go and take a quick flight around Wellington. You're right, it has been my imagination supplying the missing sounds!! The trouble is now I'm aware that they are not there and it's annoying me! I'll...

QUOTE (AlisterC @ Feb 12 2011, 03:25 PM) You've inspired me to go and have a look at the Warbirdsim website (I'm a big P51D fan). I see that all their models supplied in the P51D package are restored aircraft, rather than battlefield warriors - hence the nice new look to them. This looks like a great aircraft. Pity I've just spent all my spare cash on a bit of a computer hardware upgrade /winkyy.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= ;) border= 0 alt= winkyy.gif /> I'll just have to stick to staring at my 1:32 scale model here on my desk /laugh.gif style=...

Yep, you got to agree with the oll saying - If it looks right, it'l fly right.

QUOTE (Olderndirt @ Feb 12 2011, 03:46 AM) What a great way to go cross country. Your scenario caused a flashback, common at my age, of an event when I was with the FAA. Back in the seventies, an F4 was going to Fairbanks - out of Anchorage (263 nm) with no speed restriction - must have run out of something at the 'O' club. At handoff to Center the target was strobing. He went block to block (engines running to shutdown) in 23 minutes. Not too shabby for those days. That's pretty quick! But with an experienced pilot I can believe it. I wasn't watching the clock...

At my age, digestion becomes a real consideration. /laugh.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :lol: border= 0 alt= laugh.gif /> ....not only at your (tender) years OD....These days fresh air gives me gas......sorry to side track the thread....no response please.

QUOTE (Adamski @ Feb 11 2011, 01:23 PM) What are the *systems* like ... I mean how complex/functional is the MCDU, for instance. I don't know. I don't use them. I just takeoff and land. /biggrin.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :D border= 0 alt= biggrin.gif /> I think the systems are all the same as all the other CLS addons.

QUOTE (Adrian Brausch @ Feb 12 2011, 12:26 AM) glad ye like your repaint Marty , i really like no.3..very moody skies !,.....shes like a concorde only slow ,ugly(ok only a wee bit ugly),short and crazy looking...s**t i just described me /blink.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :blink: border= 0 alt= blink.gif /> . what addon have you used for the landing light ,..my LLight is just an ugly ball/orb ? Thanks AB You did a great job......the light i think is redux...from A2A ....I'll check. @Adam....thank you very much......i expected as much /tongue.gif style=...

I walked square into that one...can't remember how the joke started, though.

QUOTE (Ian Warren @ Feb 11 2011, 12:58 PM) Adam , you should have seen the 92 /94 Wanaka and VE day celebrations at Wigram , Sir Tim Wallis at the controls , never has there been a better Spitfire display , altho a Mk9/16 it equals your display /cool.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= B-) border= 0 alt= cool.gif /> Grrr ... don't remind me /winkyy.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= ;) border= 0 alt= winkyy.gif /> ... Wanaka's still on my "to do before I die" list. In that setting, that display must have been simply, indescribably, *awesome*.

After the debacle of the Erebus Disaster , Was at any stage Air New Zealand looking at MD11,s , for a well known design group PMDG put a ANZ on to the MD , was a choice or possible order ?

QUOTE (Splitpin @ Feb 10 2011, 03:30 PM) Thanks OD......yep, shes a sweet old lady. I wonder how much drag those would really make......often think the same when see a cub, or moth with the canoes hanging down. Heck, I hope not to much drag, they can only do 100knts maxxed out /smile.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :) border= 0 alt= smile.gif />

Great shots. /thumbup1.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :thumbup: border= 0 alt= thumbup1.gif /> .nice angles. /thumbup1.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :thumbup: border= 0 alt= thumbup1.gif /> .Im glad your back on the tour.(still cant belive you got out of Franz) That B-17 is beautiful. /winkyy.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= ;) border= 0 alt= winkyy.gif />
