NZFF

On the ground at NZMC. My sim had crashed, so everyone else was nearly at Outpost1 by now.


Airborne, I had to circle the airport a few times to gain enough altitude


Still only just managing to make it over the ridge


First scenery problem at NZO1, pretty self-expanitary, but the airstrip was on a hill of water about 500ft above the valley


Airborne again, cloud was quite a problem, reducing visibility to 0 sometimes!


Taxiing to the ramp at NZO2, everyone else appeared a few feet above me


Flying through a valley towards NZO3


Continuing through the same valley


NZO3, this was probably my favourite of them all Bandit and Eagle1 parked on the ramp, Creator2003 following behind


Still at NZO3


Three Cessnas parked up


Airborne again, this time for NZO4


Creator2003 getting hopelessly lost trying to find NZO4


Parked on the ramp, it was a really steep descent into this one!


(Sort of) Group photo


Cloud blocking the way we are going to be heading next to NZRS


Airborne again, for the short flight to the Research Station. Almost clipped the wheels going over this ridge!


Getting dark as I join the pattern to land


Cockpit view, not very clear, but Jimmy is on final in the C130 (though it shows as C172 on mine, as I don't have it installed), and the other guys already parked up


Shot of all participants left- right Jimmy (by this time in the 763), Creator2003, Bandit, myself, and Eagle1


Very fun evening, and look forward to the next one

Neat stuff, looks like you got the short end of the stick there though, with the other guys in helicopters...

Alex

Dam, was really wishing I could have made this but was busy up untill now tonight

Did 'Eagle1' reveal their idenity in the end?

Yes Trolly....

I am Kev ..... Newbie to NZFF and so far the best forum that i've ever joined!

Great Shots.....I got a shot of me coming over a ridge looking down on outpost 4.. will post later.

It was a great mission!!!

Here I am with 'evil1' in the distance as we look for NZ04. (Note for some reason i was laggy and had to turn off real weather to run it smoothly)

lagging mite be due to frames locked at other numbers than us there kevin, they are best set at 20-25 flp or its just the case of bad net problems ,but thats the norm in this country
anyway heres my shots as we done the mission and then flew chippa choppers to queenstown 97nm and then ofcourse malbrouogh district later on till past midnight ..







on the way to nzqn below

spotted this dude man its hard to slow a jet from 700+ to 114 stall speed

hey mister can you speed that thing up? just after this shoot i stalled

picton here we are just waiting on crazy to turn up

last pic this was the first time id seen this place on a flight ,
thank you bandit very very much for coming up with these outposts and missions they are just getting better can wait till next friday

Hey Kev- welcome to the forums! Will have to have a flight online with you some time.

Great shots by the way Mike

We have a Bell412 , We see a have a BAC/EE F1/F3? what was the Weather like ? THUNDER and LIGHTNING

Good shots guys.

Neat stuff, looks like you got the short end of the stick there though, with the other guys in helicopters...

Well I was in fixed wing too, just a little bigger fixed wind than matt.

Thanks Guys. Glad you enjoyed it. Welcome to NZFF Kev.

Outpost 3 is my favourite as well, followed by Opst4. I tried to make a mix to suit most tastes. But now I know what appeals I can do other similar ones.

Looks like my flattens at each location worked. But not sure about Matts Opst 1 problem, the fltn has worked. I wonder if it is a topography issue with the default topo not showing the river in the correct location?

If anyone has any ideas I'd be glad to hear them in case it's something I can do to fix for future Mission builds.

I'm out for next Friday but am thinking of somehow incorporating a bushfire or fire on an ocean vessel scenario into a Friday night session somehow.

I can do another like this one with more O3 and O4 type strips. Just post your thoughts/ideas. I'm sure we can come up with something. Thanks to Craig also for again hosting the Mission file.
