All great shots, but the Vulcan and especially the Phabulous Phantoms are my picks.
The head on shot of the F-4 with the smoke trails shows why another nickname for the type was Ol' Smokey.
The F-4J(UK) looks great in the Barley Grey..74 Squadron I believe.

Great shots

Love Phantoms I grew up with Phantom F-4Es.

I do wish you would identify ground areas on each of the screenshots that show INTERESTING locations.

I can guess that it is NZCH and city of Christchurch in first three screenshots but I cannot figure out location in the fourth and fifth screenshots.

I cannot figure out the location in the last three screenshots showing white helicopter but I would guess it would be Nelson airport and Nelson city???????

Regards,

Aharon

I presume that's the old Milviz Phantom? It's unfortunate that it doesn't have the RWR housings on the intakes to properly represent the F-4J(UK) Only one didn't have them. Nice shots

Aharon, sorry for the lack of information, I forget we have a global audience.
You correctly identified NZCH ...and well done on the Nelson helicopter shots :thumbup:
The one or two that may have confused you (F-4) is over Tauranga (North Island)
The rescue helicopter shots are in Lyttleton harbour , here in Christchurch.

I must say that I'm very impressed with your geographical knowledge of NZ, considering that you are looking at it from an FSX point of view.

I really wish that they would get it working properly so that it's good for just more than screenshots. I tend to use DC designs FGR2 more

Agree, but that was the deal with Milviz....its all yours , but visual only, which works for me, but I understand where you're coming from.

Thank you for confirming that my guesses are correct.

Thanks for answer. I need to study satilette maps to find out what the circle object is on Tauranga.

Thanks for kind words. For me when flying via FSX or via real world airline flights, it is VERY important for me to identify ground areas such as cities, streets, lakes, rivers, mountains, etc. Smiling

The circle object in Tauranga is the Bay Oval cricket ground

Naki,

Thanks for interesting answer. I guess Microsoft is pretty accurate in that Bay Oval cricket ground for MS2020 or MS2024 unless you tell me Splitpin bought addon ground textures of New Zealand for MS2020 or MS2024.
