hi all, just signing the register of members. Cameron from invercargill.

Ive been simming for a short while (from november last year) and have done about 90 hours total since starting. Id like to improve my south island scenery on FSX particularly invercargill. I start real pilot training on the 8th february this year but i think i will still use the sim to familiarize myself with the correct procedures and navigation aids.

What aircraft do people recommend as a quality addition to FSX? quite interested in using aircraft that we are accustomed to as new zealanders.

cheers,
Cameron

Welcome Cameron

What aircraft are you learning to fly on?

Are you interested in payware or freeware?

For scenery I recommend anything from Realnz

GA aircraft..highly recommend the Carenado line of aircraft..they include a number of aircraft you see down at your local aero club

Welcome Morrisman- The poach from Trademe message boards worked I see

Sign up and have a search on Avsim- there are some good addons to improve the accuracy of that region and NZ (including updated Airspace boundaries).

Im also working on a NZ wide payware addon which will make NZ look much more like NZ and aid VFR navigation considerably.

In the sim or real life? In the sim I have spent most hours in the Beech Baron 58 but the king air would also be right up there. I use the 737 for the longer flights as I find the handling more predictable than the other medium jets.

In real life I will be training in Alpha 160a aircraft which are about 5 years old and i think built in NZ. I also have access to Piper Cherokee and eventually will do multi engine instrument rating in a Piper Seneca II.

I would rather freeware but if payware is good value for money I will look at that too.

I just saw that the seneca II is on that site, i could look at that because thats what i will be doing IFR training in so a little home study wont hurt. The training school also has a FAA certified simulator based on the seneca III.
