Not surprisingly, Antarctic scenery in FSX a wee bit lacking.

You don't have F1View or Walk + Follow, Ian?
You could put your head right in the prop!

This one, inspired by "Wingman" on a C130 roll:

As far as I can see, there is only one real (current) kiwi airshow formation that has yet to be done with FS-Recorder, the RNZAF Fleet Flyby:

Top picture is from Whenuapai Open Day 2007, bottom screenie is my pathetic attempt at recreating it.. using all freeware aircraft (AB Sims Herc, Posky 757, FS-KBT Orion), that had compleatly different shaded grey liverys, plus only two props on each wing craft failed to spin! I could have tried a bit harder with the spacing, angle and light etc, but it wouldn't have made it much better and I was running out of time. Someone with both the Captainsim C-130 and 757 could do a far better job I'm sure ;)

Good thought Trolly!
The Track 1 aircraft is 2-engined, so that's why you have only 2 props going for the Track 2 and 3 followers.
Wonder what woud happen if you flew the first track with the Orion, say, and used "negative" offsets for the 757?
And yes, the greys are absolutely impossible!
When we did the RNZAF AI packageI actually caught all 3 at Whenuapai on the same day, photographed them, and the colours were different!
They also change with the light...

Great RW pics in this thread, thought I'd 'ave a go:



(Given I bought all the Overland airliners just to get this one, thought I'd get some mileage...)

Great shot Charl! :clap:
Excellent work replicating the photo from the A380 pics thread. I'd like to see more. :thumbup:

They are different engines, but the pics in the other thread show EA engines, so their correct (SQ is also using Trents on their A380s, so that's right too).

Cheers
