MSFS 2020 - The Wanaka Tour

[Charl]

I've been exploring the NZA Wanaka Region scenery.
As expected, it's very good indeed.
I thought I'd drop these here now, since we are sort of at the "End" of FS2020.
And it might be interesting to see what FS2024 does with the area, later on.
Being custom scenery, I don't expect Too Much, really.

It's rather a lot, but then: it is rather a lot.
Here we go:







You could play in this region for a very long time; Queenstown is just over the hill, Milford Sound down the road, and then there are all the Huts...

Charl ....beautiful

[Charl]

Thank you, Marty.
Brace yourself, there will be many more from this region.

I have just parked the helo's and dusted off the Wilga!


Maybe ZK-NEV will be my first crack at painting a MSFS plane...

My flightsim box has been repaired and upgraded a little - graphics and RAM (for FS24, eventually).

Meantime... a check drive around Wanaka to see if everything works.
Seems OK, found this little island in Lake Wanaka, I suppose it has a name.



Ah but there is more than one way to camp out on a remote little island! and so invited a couple of friends along.

wonderful shots!

[Charl]

Thank you JanKees.

I know one should be making the most of the local waters with the Catalina, but this one popped up in the Marketplace and I thought ah well.

[cowpatz]

Is there a way to tether or anchor a float or seaplane in the sim? Or does it just stay where it stops?

[Charl]

Not that I've seen... they stay put where they stop, and may just weathercock into the the wind if it is strong enough.

Brace yourself, there will be many more from this region.
I have just parked the helo's and dusted off the Wilga!

Forgot about these...
Being a round tour, afraid once more it is a whole bunch to digest!



The Wilga can stop pretty much anywhere the helo's can











It's the kind of scenery where you can take two screenshots at the same stopover. And so I did.



And back at base camp
