310 to Nelson

[Naki]

...from the new Kiwiflightsim Hokitika. Quite a nice first up payware scenery with a well detailed main terminal. Need some trees clipped as approaches are difficult with some high trees. Have now loaded some tree height adjustment addons, which i think i had before i reloaded MSFS.

The Blackbird (Milviz) 310 was one of my earlier addons. It has a lot of depth (failures, some easter eggs, plane gets dirty etc) great sounds and character. Some of the avionics are a bit lightweight but overall this is a cracker addon.

One of our members was a beta tester I believe.

Great post Naki. I think the 310 was , and maybe still is the most elegant Cessna made.

Awesome pics Naki - I was a tester for him

Re the tree height in HK I use this add-on which makes it heaps better

From memory the 310 was quite squirrely in pitch. It earnt the unfortunate reputation of "Widow maker". That was probably more to do with the fact that it was an entry level twin aircraft and had a lot of inexperienced operating it.

CP, did one of these crash in NZ ? ...I remember something from years ago.

I think there was more than one. I seem to recall that the fuel system was a bit complex.
The crash I’m thinking was one out of Queenstown many years ago. A young and very low twin time pilot tried to out climb terrain and ended up stalling and crashing. I believe that it was heavily loaded.

That's the one I remember CP ....linked to a TV personality I think.
