Whenuapi and JMP

[ardypilot]

New GNZLAP findings:

My Whenuapai AFCAD is playing up like my Ardmore one was:

Do you know how can I fix it?

And who's this fella:

I can just make out the letters ZK JMP on the square Pilatus tail, and after searching CAA found it is based in Mercer, yet I always see it up over Auckland. What's the flightplan for this one then and does it include parachutists? +Why does it have the RAAF logo on the side...?

[Charl]

NZAR and NZNE would have the same issue as with Ardmore - they use Rob Diebold's AFCADs and I think flatten switches.
Copy the AFCAD into "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Flight Simulator 9\Scenery\World\scenery"

As to -JMP, you will recall you found that Piper with fin unpainted...well that same day I had doodled this unbelievable paint, wondering who on earth???
It's real alright, here's the proof:



It is based at NZME, go there at 23:00 (GMT) on a weekend and you will see it go off to Thames.
It then flies around all day, looking for the best position over the DZ.
Sadly the model does not throw bodies out into the void (wait for Deane's Cresco's!)

I think Crazy_Craig may have the answer to your other questions B)

Good thing everyone on board has a parachute I'd say

[Craig]

I`m thinking of bailing outta that beast when i come over in APR.. B)

HEY Trolly, wanna jump?????

LOL

[Craig]

It is based at NZME, go there at 23:00 (GMT) on a weekend and you will see it go off to Thames.

i loaded up fs @ ME and set time to 22:59GMT on a saturday, waited 20mins and nothing.


After looking at the readme again, i didnt put 2 files in... i`m happy now, i have da Beast

[ardypilot]

Ahh, I see what has happened. You have included all of Rob D's AFCAD's from his re-done Auckland scenery in the GNZLAP updates, and because I don't have them they are appearing at the wrong elevation.

I have fixed this by making copys of the files in scenery/world/scenery folder. Good as gravey! Thanks

As for the Porter- thats one helofva beast! I downloaded a freeware version- dmporter.zip, of AVsim but it needs an NZ repaint. What AI version did you use? Can you transfer the JMP scheme onto the dmporter.zip one?

As for:

HEY Trolly, wanna jump?????

Heck yes! lol, how much does it cost for a first timer? What altitude do they drop from? It is something I have always wanted to do!
