Yeah good stuff Daniel and Ashton. Quite a big flight in the end, enjoyed our conversations, throwing a few funny lines out, that was cool. Great to see fs9 and fsx together! Paul

im brassed off i could not make it dad needed to use the computor does any 1 want to do it again tonight if so what should we do this time.

by **gojozoom** » Thu Apr 24, 2008 9:51 am

I think I can make it today as well, but I can't promise. I'll find out later

by **kiwibarguy** » Thu Apr 24, 2008 10:14 am

I would be keen for a flight tonight, lets say up north starting from Kaitaia, heading up to 90 mile beach and stop on the beach for lunch then head of up to Cape reinga then back down the east coast land somewhere of you choice.

Just an idea.

Come one come all, don't worry if you don't have enough expertise, its just flying and chatting or just flying if you wish.

ok then um what say you host it and yeah what will the password be.ps you dont have to host if you dont want also its just a thought should we try and get a plane thats not default but if we do we all must have it? i thought something like an me-109 theres a good 1 on simviation by fs france

by **kiwibarguy** » Thu Apr 24, 2008 11:05 am

Yeah i don't mind hosting at all. I'll fly till my right arm falls off. Just remember that there are issues sometimes with fs9 and fsx planes when it comes to downloading.

Are you flying in fsx yak52dude, i know that gojozoom is flying fs9. i myself am fsx.

by **yak52dude** » Thu Apr 24, 2008 11:09 am

im flying in fs9 so i might just come in the trusty old dc-3 what time will it be and server and password

by **kiwibarguy** » Thu Apr 24, 2008 11:29 am

New Zealand flight forum's own friday night flight B-)

Server: 203.114.130.15 fshost client
Password: none
Departure: Kaitaia-90 Mile beach-Cape Reinga-Kerikeri
Time: 8:30pm

I will take a DC-3 along as well! Sounds like we're gonna have a big ol' warbird flight tonight.

Just realised that i have to go and buy some jeans and connies tonight so if i've not started a server by 8:30 could someone host it.

Thanks, looking forward to a great night.

Come and join us, lets see how many DC-3's we can land on 90 mile beach! NZFF HOO HOO!

by **gojozoom** » Thu Apr 24, 2008 11:52 am

You don't have to ask me twice. I prepare a nice wine and some smooth jazz music in the background. I'll go with DC3 as well. To be honest i've never tried it seriously before, but why not.

By the way, I'm not sure if any of us have to host it at all. Yesterday we didn't do anything like that. Just joined the server and that's all. The only frustrating thing that we all have different sceneries installed so sometimes there are some elevation differences on the ground which makes you "float" above the ground from the others point of view but it's an acceptable bug.
I think we should all use the fs default DC3. this way all the planes will appear properly on the screen.

See you tonight, I look forward to take off again with some friendly kiwi simmers... :plane:

by **kiwibarguy** » Thu Apr 24, 2008 12:38 pm

Good on ya Ashton! you rock! B-)

That's 4, anyone else coming along?

by **yak52dude** » Thu Apr 24, 2008 12:46 pm

i have a sugestion that when we take all off we get into formation and do a fly past the air port then head on or merry way what do you guys think also yes bring your friends if they can :groupwave:

come just tell them to fly the dc-3 the more the merrier

by **gojozoom** » Thu Apr 24, 2008 4:28 pm

I've never flown in formation yet. I tried it with kiwibarguy yesterday but I just couldn't. :twisted:

I need to practice first. Anyway...I'm in.. :twisted:

by **yak52dude** » Thu Apr 24, 2008 5:22 pm

well you dont have to

by **kiwibarguy** » Thu Apr 24, 2008 6:55 pm

Hi there guys, just to let you know that i will be flying in the repaint skin.

It is for fsx so if you were to download them both we can see each other. here>http://www.flightsim.co.nz/

I am sure there are fs9 versions on www.avsim

See you tonight , looking forward to flying with all of you.

by **Peppermint** » Thu Apr 24, 2008 7:02 pm

Yeah I might be able to come along, if I can pull myself away from the WoP bombers and the WW2 fighters I bought. I'll fly the DC-3 too!

RNZAF default dc-3 repaints for FS9 are arnzx_dak_32.zip (The current paint I think) at avsim and nzwb4pk.zip (Good old green D-day markings) over at flightsim.com if anyone needed them

by **gojozoom** » Thu Apr 24, 2008 7:25 pm

Good evening all,

I'm so sorry but I can't make it today...However you can count on me on the long weekend. Have a nice flight! hey kiwibarguy, open a nice bottle of wine and go to 30.000 with your DC3!

All the best
Daniel

Any special scenery we need? Just loaded up Kaitaia and noticed there's no parking, just 2 runways

by **kiwibarguy** » Thu Apr 24, 2008 11:11 pm

Blenheim > Nelson > Wellington > New Plymouth

This was a great flight on Wednesday night. It was great to fly with you guys.

I had a problem with my keys and couldn't take any photos of us together. I think i may have pressed a wrong button when doing shift - z. I couldn't take photos , and when i tried to zoom in and out i would have another view pop up in my top left hand corner. i will work it out.

Kaitaia > Cape Reinga > Kerikeri

The highest northern island of New Zealand.

Off to Kerikeri

The money shot. Kiwibarguy, Ashton and peppermint. Thanks guys for the company.

Peppermint, it is a shame we can't talk. Most people get hooked up on Teamspeak and talk over their headsets. Let me know if you need a hand, it's pretty straight forward. It was great to see you there. Good on ya Ashton, see you soon.

by **Peppermint** » Fri Apr 25, 2008 12:58 am

Yeah it was a good flight, apart from the severe turbulence from about 3000ft up to about 12000. On the way back down from the Cape one of my engines decided to retire from service :angry:

ended up landing back at Kaitaia just as the 2nd engine decided to play sheep and follow engine one's footsteps. I got a few shots I might put up tomorrow.

Was wondering why it was a bit quiet, I'll have to buy a headset and get teamspeak.
