Ian
I'm running FSX with Acccelleration on Vista.
Running Real NZ's Wellington, Blenheim, Rotorua and Tauranga scenery.
I didnt know about Deane's Huey, I'd seen his fletcher which is nice.
Would the Huey work in FSX ?

I've never realy had much luck flying helecopters in FSX.
The Just Flight C-130 will be my next purchase I think - might need to upgrade the computer to handle it tho.
Oh well, another exervise comming up, allowances will pay for the upgrade.

A feast of rotors!
I've been noticing rotors this last week or two, (do hope Nije's Seasprite can be made to have a "solid" rotor blur...)
Trev, these and your other snow shot are top rate.
I just love hitting a thread where you scroll up, down, back again, keep finding bits...great lighting.
Thanks for posting.

Really cool pics, that Blackhawk looks pretty mean! I bet a wee bit has changed since I was there in 2002..

That second shot of the Blackhawk is a ripper, well done.

those blackhawks are big, i am up close and personal with them all the time, and standing beside them you look and go, wow, espically when compared to the hueys!!
In the ongoing battle between objects made of aluminum going hundreds of miles per hour and the ground going zero miles per hour, the ground has yet to lose.

Wow our helos are pitiful compared to the black hawk.
Will be good to see some shinny new NH-90 soon.
