Great little plane, I love it too.
You certainly picked a busy moment at NZQN, um, how are your frames?

Posted: Fri Apr 20, 2007 4:26 pmThanks guys - my FPS wasn't too bad with all the AI aircarft in view - probably around 18 FPS if I remember correctly.
If I had the money (a lot) to buy a real a/c I think a Chipmunk will be near the top of the list.
They say it flies like a very low powered Spitfire - probably why the RAF Battle of Britain Memorial Flight has a couple.
There is one based here at the Classic Flyers Museum - I am thinking of joining the museum so when I get around to joining I maybe able to squander a ride in it. Here's hoping.
Cheers

Posted: Sat Apr 21, 2007 2:03 amHang five here, so you're telling me these aren't shots of the latest Chippie restoration out of Mandeville for a Queenstown-based customer?
I like! Rick Piper is a goodness! Not to mention that scenery....wow.....I didn't think I'd ever see such a good looking Chipmunk for FS, seriously stunned.
WOW WOW WOW!

Other than the more detailed exterior from earlier versions the gauges are heaps smoother (almost like Realair A/C). The latest version isn't quite finshed yet and needs a bit more work in the VC before it is uploaded to Avsim and the like.
This really is some of the best freeware - Peter Lohrs Queenstown, Robin's photoreal, the Chippy and the 75m mesh if that is what you have (although I have the 20m mesh).
