...leads to paraphrasing something I got the other day: So there's this F16 hotshot, flying escort to a C130. F16: Think I'll do a little something to while away the hours... So he goes A/B vertical, up to 45,000 pulls over, screams down, Mach 1.8, 9g out the bottom, two 90's and barrel rolls out airbrakes open, back in line astern. F16: I'm BACK, whaddaya think about THAT! (OK you probably know what's coming..) C130: Think I'll do a little something to while away the hours... C130 drones on for 5 minutes C130: I'm BACK, whaddaya think about THAT! F16:...

Matt i pm'd you yesterday morning. check your inbox it should be there!  ;) Yeah got your pm ;) , ahh sorry i didnt realise, im used to the little messenger box popping up when you get a new pm i guess i need to set that setting lol :lol: . Thanks once again guys, well shes almost done i just have to finish the night bitmaps and then ill package it all up and release. As i can see most of you have the overland package. It really is worth it guys :thumbup: . Anyway ill keep you updated on the paint. Cheers. :D

is reinforce my dislike of the 'clipped wing' version of the spitfire... Same! The only freeware downloads of the Spitty I could find didn't have that loverly elliptical wing shape that my aeroplane heaven one does- but that is only a prototype and dosen't have a camo paintjob :(

Love the first shot Naki- I thought it was a photo from a quick glance.

Consider yourself PM'd ;)

Thats brilliant Jon :clap: Really enjoyable read there! and so funny :P Frank on the other hand looked like he was 12, and had only just got his pilots license mm perhaps I should move to chile :lol: haha They start young over there, 'eze famili, oki doki'

  The posky aircraft isn't particularly well modelled in my opinion when it comes to taking off. I can race down the runway, with the tail one foot above the runway, wings fully flexed, travelling 160+ knots and still not get off the ground (don't need to tell me about weights and fuel please wink.gif ) And then soon as it does get off the ground, it races up to 250 knots in a heart beat. Little wonder I moved on the the PMDG I shant tell you about fuel and payload, but can I mention trim? :P hehe j/k, poskys fualt they are good at exterior visuals, nothing else :lol: even the...

The shots look pretty good for what you are running it on, good work on making them look so good. :D Alex

okay then can I enter 1,2,4,5,6,9,10,11 & 12 :D ?

blinds the enemy with reflected light!! :ph43r:

That livery suits the Beech nicely, great pics Nik. :) Alex

second from bottom would be more at home in the Real World Aviation forum

James :thumbup: Superb LD767 in any scenery is GREAT ! your screenie's look little like me last week :)

Wow, a very close win this month as Alex said. Congrats to Jon, for the second month in a row for taking the prize :clap: (and also the two, very worthy, runners up)

The last airport is Oakland. Nice shots! I love flying into and out of SFO!

nice brock! Wellington looks great in fsx, I think its alll the lovely water and the reflections that really do it justice :P btw if your having trouble with the fsx menus tyou really shodul think about a RAM upgrade ;) It makes a marvolous differance with the fsx menus. and a gig of RAM is under a hundred dollars.. James

Charl, is this not something that could be fixed by adjusting the alpha channel on the paint? Not always possible, but the alpha channel is there to control the 'shine' on a lot of models. Just an idea  :) Look at the Andover last friday walking across the ramp, chatting , mention the condition off the dull worn look , any LOW-VIS paint looks polished when completed for a couple of weeks MAX and thats it ! ..after .. they look dirty and meshy and well used (generally to last 5 yrs) , airliners have there big carwash's or at YSSY 2 people running around washin 74 in 2...

Great screenies, I had forgotten how good the Dunedin photoreal scenery was- especially at sunset! :wub:

Are there any that you specifically want...

Hiya V_A_C. The Air NZ AI is just Project-AI.  The Herc and Orions, are my own doing, and the Airfreight NZ CV-580s , Ansett Air Freight F27, NZ Post aircraft, AirNZ Freight DC-8 etc are part of my NZ Retro-AI project.    The other AI like Royal Tongan, Freedom Air, Air Calin (New Caledonia), Air Vanuatu, Ansett, Jetstar etc, are from a traffic set called "AI Traffic for the South Pacific", by Luis Felipe pech Pacheco. Had it for a few years now, and cant remember where i got it from, but the file name is  "ai_southpacific.lfpp.zip".  About 11.5mb zipped....
