Testing new planes and environment

[ZK-MAT]

I haven't had much time to sim during the past week, been in Auckland for a few days , and we are putting our house on the market as we're building a new one (so I've spent most my free time painting, cleaning etc).

I did download Real Environment Professional that caused some some grief but I must say I love it, and the reflective planes texs are just sweet I also downloaded the new Voz AI to give it a go.

I then downloaded the Aeroplane Heaven Panther and 109.

Here's some shots of a quick blast around the BOP.

109 soon after departure




Turning close to where we currently live (anyone wanna buy a 4 bedroom home in a quiet street?)




Sorry about the following low level water shots, I love the effect








Panther - Low level




Panther - Over where we are building




More water shots ..




.. and, err yeah more, this time I changed the time to dawn to see what it looked like




Quick trip to Mayor Island




... where I spot a B1900D ???!!!!




Gotta see where this bloke is headed, I've never known a 1900D to be over Mayor Island



... and so he's going to Tauranga












Cheers B)

Cool shots matt. I think the AI traffic just pretty much chooses its route randomly.

Brilliant shots, I love the 11th one and two last ones!

That Real Enviroment Pro water looks wicked for you- what settings do you have in the 'display' setup?

I found it really annoying when flying at around 2000-5000 feet, with the water directly below me looking great, but in the distance lots of wave lines close together. Also, that reflective shine on aircraft really bugs me, its so OTT on my PC... don't you find the same?

BTW- VOZ AI is great aye? The 1900d's look as good as the PMDG ones from the outside

Here are my settings, they seem to give a good balance between what looks good and plays well.

standard route AATG4 is via V122(10000ft and below) which tracks via rep pt MAYOR located s37 20 03 e176 03 40 - (about 1/2 way mayor island and waihi.) then tracks 143to TG with DME step at 15DME TG down to 3000ft

...well it was a quiet street until you turned up in that Bf-109!

He was probably being controlled by Crazy

just joking about that flight I had to tauranga the other night... seemed to me i was a long way away... but looking at the post by towerguy, its just my own lack of knowledge with regards to STARs, SIDs and the like

i love NZFFAC ATC (ie. Crazy+FSNav+Teamspeak)... certainly makes my online flying that much more enjoyable...

[ZK-MAT]

I've travelled from AA to Tg numerous times in a 1900D, and never flown over Mayor Island, although it would be cool to do so, beats travelling for hours in a fishing boat to get there!

In that series above the 1900D was first seen east of Mayor at about 3000', by my reckoning the AI plane there was about 17 miles off course (see below from FS Nav) .... it could have been a new sight-seeing trip though

Hey Mat

Great shots - I have also downloaded VOZ, REP over the last week and currently downloading the Aeroplane Heaven Hurricane - also have adjusted settings along the line of yours - must go simmimg now to check out the results _TGA is also my default airport.

Cheers
