NZFF

Right, 5 days are up and it looks like we have a winner! Congratulations to Cirrusnature! ! :D Your shot will be cropped into the site banner.

Hello there. Turangi makes a good base for sightseeing around the central plateau so that's where I started from but in that pea soup I couldn't see the airfield well enough to land so I ended up diverting to Taupo.The airport not the lake! :P I'm using Active Sky's latest which would be v6.

Kool! :D I think they are both great, the background grass in #2 isnt too noticable.

i must admit i have a quiet chuckle whenever i see that at NZAA, its truely a unique aircraft- nice pics :)

Well, it does what you describe when I depart Whenuapai, and works just fine out of Invercargill, maybe the XML coding is strange that way.... To stop the props: Press E1...4 to command only the outer engines. Press CTRL-Shift-F1 to cut them. Press CTRL-F1 to feather. Press E2...3 to command inner 2 engines. Wait patiently for the No. 1 & 4 fans to wind down. Take screenshot!

I'm glad you figured out how to use Orbiter Jimmy. Thanks for sharing your shots. P.S. If you want to check your spelling, highlight your post and copy it into Word, then hit F7 and afterwards copy and paste it back to the forum.

$40 - $45 at the time if I remember, I see it's US$29.95 which is about $47.00 now. Works out a lot cheaper than a movie ticket, per hour. ;) Although, I just went and caught the new Superman movie - that was well worth the $12.50 ;) Great pics as usual Charl, love the B200 B)

Nope, not 'mine', but I fly on Vatsim often as Mike Alpha Tango (as ZK-MAT I have logged 95hours and 27 mins out of 309 hours overall), so it's a bonus having the actual plane so close to home.

Heres my entry, this is what I got with 0.5 fames per second :lol: lol (my first 5 minute long takoff run)

I'm glad I am not the only person who finds the BN find to fly Charl ;) Nice picture by the way, could you also tell me what key combo do you press to get the mechanic out?

Thanks again for explaining the answer to me Muppet. You have taught me quite a lot over the weekend. Cheers ;)

Ahh, that would be why they are called "wet wings" I guess. Thanks for the info Muppet ;)

Beauties Trolly, unfortunately I've never been in a DC-3 - bet it's great though B)

Will really be able to get some great circuit action at NZPP when these are released, looking great :)

Ahh the trusty old 207's, great work Steve B)

Great work once again! Once you have uploaded them, do you think you could post a thread in the Aircraft forum with links to all your repaints?

So theres no shop that I can walk into and just buy a boxed addon?  :( Not to my knowledge. I bought mine through PMDG as a download. If want the box version than the closest "shop" as muppet said is through PC AVIATOR. You can also use direct debit through them if you haven't got a credit card.

Not quite... There are a lot of rumours and misinformation around concerning the RNZAF's strike aircraft. The Skyhawks have been stored at Woodbourne in Blenheim, and are in the process of being cleared for sale to a private American firm who will operate them in a dissimilar air combat role on contract to the USAF. They are just waiting for the final clearance from the US government. This is necessary because of the very high-spec avionics/weapons fit on them. All the Skyhawks were upgraded to full 'Kahu' standard and were superior in avionics and weapons capability to all but...

That last shot has such a good atmosphere, brilliant! B)

uh, consider it entered...
