Flying through Aotearoa

[johanfrc]

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:

Cloudy??? Well... A bit I must say:

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?

[johanfrc]

NZCH version 5.

Very nice shots Johan, like the angles there.
Is that the PSS A320?

Ah ok, and is that the freeware VC as well? It looks great!

Firs time flying AA-CH , one of my favorite nz domestic routes, NZCH_NZWN aside Next time put the NP vor in yor flight plan, and install the godzone egmount photoreal mmmm

Thats a great looking 320, how much did it cost ya? Is the fmgc fuctional?

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 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 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!
