NZ Tour

A place to converse about the general aspects of flight simulation in New Zealand

Postby victor_alpha_charlie » Tue Apr 01, 2008 7:13 pm

Hey guys,
I've just done a fresh reinstall of FS9, and I'm planning to only install decent addons, and try to prevent my FS getting cluttered/running slowly.

Hopefully I'll get around to doing a tour of NZ, so I want to install all the addons (preferably freeware) that will make this better, and it should be a good showcase of NZ Free(and some pay-)ware addons.
Currently I have these installed/on my list to install:

Sceneries
Robin's entire RealNZ set
A few of Lawrie's sceneries
Red Baron 75m mesh (or was that 70m)?

Aircraft
That Corsair Trolly loves (French one :D )
Carenado 206/Mooney
Deane's Fletchers
PMDG 1900D
Project Fokker 28/70
Overland Airlines pack (Essentially all modern Airbus/Boeings)

I'm a fan of Project Opensky etc, as they have decent models.

Is there anything I'm missing/should try? Aircraft don't have to be NZ related, as long as they're good quality.

Tom

Peter Lohrs Queenstown & Mount Cook, Ian's Nelson and Invercargill.

If you are into GA/Warbirds some Dreamfleet, Realair & Flight 1 stuff are worth getting if the wallet extends that far.

I guess I won't be short of aircraft, even limiting myself to good ones :P

I'm taking out all but a few of Lawrie's sceneries out as to be honest there's too much buggering around downloading other stuff.. then putting a flatten file in here... etc

If they were like any other scenery I've downloaded (not a mission to install), then they'd all be in like a flash, but it's too time-consuming to install them. I'm not saying they aren't great sceneries :P

what about the PMD 737NG and Wilco Feelthere 737-300?

Isn't it evident?? Boeing are my favourite aircraft.

P.S. that's is my real birthday but I wish to keep my real age secret to keep you all pondering.
