HI

Just did a flight tonight from NZCH to NZWN (my home airport) I cocked up the route a bit (I guese VATSIM will have to get used to that) but had a perfect approach hands on.

Scenery as always is Robin Corns Real New Zealand Wellington available at Godzone.

Nice pics there, I love the Cake Tin on approach there!

I'll keep an eye out for you Dan, and we'll do a trip together sometime if you like :)

Landing in darkness is always tricky- well done on making it down safely :thumbup:

Thanks trolly, the one advantage you have in landing at night as opposed to the real world is that the FPS is better :lol:

lovely! Nice caketin shot :drool:
In night landings, I usually plough straight into a tree just before the runway. Maybe trees should have lights on them? :thumbup:

certainly better than my approach into wellington that i just did. too fast, all over the place. i was wondering why the ILS wasn't working, turns out i forgot to click over the frequency from standby. :blink:
