Great stuff! B-)

I love the Chipmunk, It's actually an ideal aircraft to fly around NZQN to be honest...enjoyed the pics alot

Lovely greaser in that last shot.
Great little plane, I love it too.
You certainly picked a busy moment at NZQN, um, how are your frames? :unsure:

Thanks 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

Hang 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!

Thanks guys

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).

Cheers
