I have, since my visit to NZ in 2004, always wanted to fly from Auckland to another airport in New Zealand. I've done it with Wellington twice. But yesterday I decided to make a new route.

I made a route from Auckland to Christchurch, flying with an A320.

So here is my pictures:

I've used the Overland/SMS A320 in ANZ livery found on AVSIM. AI Traffic is installed manually.

That's a nice model johan, I especially like the wheels-down approach shot, it's pretty near photoreal.
What NZCH scenery is that you're using?

The plane itself and the VC is payware. It cost me 20 € = approx. 38 NZ Dollars. The FMC is not working, only represented. It's a simple but good looking VC. The panel is also simple, but very userfriendly. And the plane itself is also very framerate-friendly.

The only Overland/SMS plane that has been freeware is the MD-11 PW. Search for the company (Simmarket has the website) and get the MD-11. It has panel and VC, so you can get a feeling about the standard of Overland/SMS planes.

--->Jimmy: I actually had the NP VOR in the flightplan. But since I don't have any other scenery for NZ then the Topo, 75m mesh and some of the freeware airports you can conclude that I don't have any other payware scenery for NZ. Maybe in the future...

not payware matey! You can get the egmount photoreal scenery of avsim, just search robin corn or something :thumbup: Looking out the window and seeing that volcano in such detail is so neat, and from FL300 it doesnt blur at and yet loks crisp clear and lovely :P also yuol needa fly in day time to see it, from that alt it really shows the way the land is in a circle shape with forest and farms, so neat!

Anyway. I'll get it right away.
