For Goose lovers see the video in :plane: Bardos

Andrew, i HAVE got your dirty DAK update, and its running as AI. AI can be a little fickle and have a mind of its own sometimes. I have BOTH the old and the new running as AI, and sometimes the dirty one appears, sometimes the clean one. Once i made an error in a flight plan, and had BOTH the dirty and the clean side by side at Ardmore !! :lol: :lol: Lawrie. >nzflag<

It was like that in FS8 as well, but I see they've finally got it right in FSX.

It's that 'orrible - ERM again right? I've biffed it in the next release and replaced it with a (nonstandard) slant SUNAIR script on the fin. Yes Charl,......... its that "ERM" again that you see in the pic. I dunno about replacing it mate, it has a certain,......... um,......... "character" about it............... Funny where it pops up sometimes, seems to get around a bit. Lawrie.

Thanks. I'll give that a go. Cheers

:drool: B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L Chis! That moth has just been put atop my wishlish, it looks excellent! Is that ZK-AUD scheme included by default, or is that one of your new creations? Sorry about the screenie size - do you admin guys want I should resize? I think we can make an exception for such glorious pictures! ;)

Thanks people. By the way what water affects are you using? The Red Baron Entertainment free water/landclass package. you never cease to amaze me at the quality of graphics coming out of your system... Maybe that is because Queenstown is in the middle of the nowhere, not much autogen around... fairly good FPS. If I sat in my PMDG 1900d cockpit at YSSY, it would be a completely different story!

Wow, those look good in the sim. I haven't had the time to take a look myself. FYI, there's a flyable DC-8-50F in ANZ Cargo colours here: ANZ Pax DC-8-50 series are available here:

Love the 4th shot down Jon!

Well, I'd describe FSX as more screenshot friendly, and with more direction. FS9 is fine, but it doesn't have some of the Polish that FSX has.

Hmmm,...................."SNOWED" under,................. i get it........ :lol: No worries Ian about the Daks, whenever you can manage it. Looking forward VERY much to this Dunedin scenery, now that WILL be worth waiting for ! Nothing worse than being bored eh ?? :lol: Lawrie.

I agree Matt, Im sick of th doom and gloom skies, hence the nice clear day at NZTG. Did you notice the unusual visitor right in the very background of a couple of the shots,............... Airfreight NZ Convair CV-580.......... Lawrie.

Let me echo Trollys words, great creative presentation, I love it!

Sorry for the slow reply, clicking "show new posts" lately didn't show me your replies. I try to avoid using photo real areas in my sim. As I fly medium haul mostly, I mostly just don't like the patchy nature of flying in or out of them. I've worked hard to make my 'default' landclass look real, so I don't really need photo real textures. I did have the Chch VFR scenery installed. But (I think) it really is that, VFR scenery, for low level VFR flying. I flew in from Auckland in the 733 and was met by nothing but a big blurred mess. It settled down and loaded...

You are a true and gifted artist, Chris. Now the problem is: what to pick!!

LOL What Pajero drag racing on NZAA's main runway that would make for an interesting site. Well there was apparently some guy back in the '80s or something who drove onto the runway at Auckland before it was fenced off thinking that it was state highway 1 :blink:

Clever (and realistic) idea of putting in the wheelie marks and donuts. No why didnt i think of that !! :lol: Lawrie.

Congratulations to Mentorman , your prize is on it's way to you and your screenshot is now in the site banner! You captured a great atmosphere in your picture. Well done :clap:
