Hey guys, was mucking around with settings and took some shots over a full day of light conditions, and also played with altitude. These are the results...

Note: Scenery is all FSX default, apologies for some of the repetativeness, it was thelight and reflection I wanted to capture and show you guys..

Thats a long way to fall..

Simply amazing especially for the default. That certainly looks incredibly realistic round the te papa/chaffers marina area. Maybe if you go on a wednesday youll cath me at work :P

That looks cool, I didn't realise Wellington had some real world buildings in the default scenery. :)

Yeah its a real surprise, we got some default scenery at Welly and a detailed airport in Auckland, and a chopper repaint of a NZ rescue Jetranger, little old NZ did pretty well this time round, it would be interesting to know what the influence for that was.
