NZAA

[Kelburn]

Not to be annoying but are there any NZAA previews?

(I just really want to see a professional NZAA scenery!)

Sorry If this has been asked/answered really recently.

Have you check out arnz website or robins windowlight.co.nz ,im pretty sure Rob does exclusive pics at ARNZ that we dont see over here for some reason ..

A bit too soon for a preview of NZAA, normally it doesn't start to look presentable until about 90% complete, and I'm a long way away from that at the moment. The main problem is I've just run out of money for another photo visit, and this one will be the biggie -- airside textures. I have managed with quick flying visits so far, but at some stage I need to stay a week, which means a couple of thousand dollars. Plus I've run out of summer for nice pics, although I think I did the main photoshoot of Wellington on the shortest day, so if I suddenly find myself with the money I'm ready to go ...

I did say, though, that I'd be a bit more forthcoming with previews with Auckland, so I'll see what comes together this month. I do have a nice ground texture, which may be presentable at the end of the month.

Normally the only stuff you'll see on ARNZ that isn't here is the FSX-only development diaries. The interest in FSX here has grown a lot lately, but I do tend to think of NZFF=2004 and ARNZ=FSX:)

I suppose thats fair to say but id class NZFF as a universil site, you need to know about 2004 to make sence of devlopment of FSX as most of the info is still in fs9 form ,FSX is the way to go forward in the flight simming world to learn and have new addons coming out ,like it or not that is happening so nzff will have to move on like it has been doing ,a label is just that most would know that we are indeed a site of all not just speicalised in one thing as that would be boring in my opinion ...
as for the topic im forever getting the chance to get photos of NZAA and are happy to take them when i can for you "thats what i call networking " i suppose make do with what you can get not what you want ,thousands for peanuts ,hhhmmm id say that will be a bad business decsion ..
there are many of us up in that airport district that could do this for you and one guy i know that would be able to get even better shots than even you could most proberly id say just ask and you will recive ...
as ive seen before you are god like around NZ use it to you advantage and ask for what you need ....

I appreciate that, and I'm always happy to receive photos (anything, anywhere, as you never know what will complete a little project I've had on the backburner) but the photoshoot I am planning is a necessary evil. The cost of airport visits is always factored in -- by the time I fly up, rent a car, find somewhere (cheap!) to stay for a week, and take a flight or two, it can mount up. Car rental is the killer at the moment, which is why I've made do with day trips, but I've always known that I'd have to spend a week there eventually. Car rental is a big issue, not because it is expensive, but because I need enough spare credit on my card to cover the excess -- which I don't have at the moment.

I am hoping to do Auckland a bit differently -- I have had a couple of people who have said that they would be happy to fly me around, so if I can organise this for the cost of fuel then I'd be happy. (Wellington really called for a helicopter, which even at $1200 per hour plus GST was money well-spent.)

The bottom line is that I wouldn't even think about attempting a project like this without actually getting to live at the airport for a while. Until something clicks and it all starts to make sense to me, I am a bit lost when I start a project. Normally this doesn't happen until about day 4:)
