Aussie Affair #3- Jetstar Baby

I seem to have a love affair with Australian jetliners. First it was Virgin Blue's 738, then Qantas' BAe 146, and now I have fallen for Jetstar's 717!

Of course, it is VOZ's fault. I love the continents new textures so much that I simply have to explore, and while I spend most my time low and slow in GA, sometimes I feel the need for a break, and "big iron" it between the incredibly detailed urban centers.

I had spent most of my day revising for tomorrows Physics exam, but when I sat myself down to watch a bit of TV this evening, I opened up my listing guide and found this advert:

I remembered that recently, ZK-MAT had posted a collection of screenies of a Jetstar 717, and that I had downloaded it as I liked the look of it, yet not taken it for a spin yet. Well, this evening was a perfect time for a short hop in the jet, so I loaded up the VOZ south east textures, and created an early morning IFR flight plan from Adelaide to Melbourne, a gentle 1.30 hour trip. Here are 16 screenies I took along the way:

11. Bloody Victorian ATC


Hey Trolly,

I noticed that when the ATC windown gave you that traffic alert, it didnt give you a callsign..? Was that on purpose or do you not have the callsign in the sim? You should have a look at EditVoice Pack, as it changes the feel of ATC altogether! :)

My callsign was "712" (for 717-200)- the default callsign that came with the download.

I have EditVoice Pack installed, but I have no idea how to use it :blink:
