Hi guys,

Does anybody want to join me on a scenic flight around Fiordland. We will take off from NZMF and from there we will just play-it-by-air (excuse the pun) and see where we end up?

I am wanting about 4-8 people to come.

Thanks

It sounds fun! When do we do it? What kind of aircrafts - it's only important because of the speed :a Beech 1900 and a Cub can't fly formation >buck<

Maybe it woud be worth to a have common aircraft this time. Maybe DC3 is a bit big for this but a Cessna would do it.

I think we need a nice freeware model which has some New Zealand textures. Good old Fletcher?

Or the ones what were used on Birthday Fly-in?

I would love to join but i can't tonight. Tuesday would be good for me, but dont let that stop you all :thumbup:

If we do Tuesday, Fletcher sounds good! Something we can all enjoy!!

by **gojozoom** » Mon May 05, 2008 12:36 pm

Yup, Tuesday is better for me as well. Let's do it then.

We are nutting it out, but for the moment it looks like Tuesday (tomorrow) at 8:30pm, with teamspeak for talking (mic and headphones)

feel free to make any suggestions

by **gojozoom** » Mon May 05, 2008 2:39 pm

Yes, she is the one.

I think we can make it on Tuesday...

by **Peppermint** » Mon May 05, 2008 3:13 pm

I'd love to go, but not sure if I'll get away from rFactor at the moment...and I still need to get a mic and headphones set for multiplayer on flightsim, speaking of which, how much are they?

by **kiwibarguy** » Mon May 05, 2008 3:44 pm

There are no hard fast rules for the flight. Fly in what you would like! We are just interested in getting together for a bit of fun so bring whatever you can handle! In the past we have taken Tomahawks, R44 helis, caravans, DC-3's and the like. Don't worry if you dont have a headset, i think i spent about $60 for mine but the have lasted well, and they give so much more to the game. We dont type much, so if you want to talk i suggest maybe saving up and buying a pair.
We dont have any ATC on and basically eat, drink, joke about, talk flight stuff and fly.

I'm sorry guys but I can join only after 9pm. Is it still ok with you?

by **kiwibarguy** » Tue May 06, 2008 10:40 am

By the time we set up it will be 9 anyway, 9pm till 11pm for me sounds good.

8:30 Extras flying around the airport till 9:10 then departure sound good?

by **gojozoom** » Tue May 06, 2008 3:00 pm

I'll try to make it as early as possible but don't wait for me if I late. :plane:

Sorry guys about the bleeding, any recommendations for clearer screenshots. Anybody looking at these are most welcome to fly with us. Just keep an eye out on this blog on when we fly. Next flight is planned for maybe next Tuesday or Wednesday, around there.

Wow Paul! Really nice pictures!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They give back the real feeling of those nights (I was there so I know

)! I don't think that the quality of these shots is priority 1, it's more about " Hey guys, look at this, this IS fun, so come along next time!!!", and these shots perfectly serve their purpose. I've taken a nice shot of my Bell, the Rotorua geysers, and the other players, I'll upload that one next week.
