RNZAF 75th Anniversary MP Show

[lowglow]

This sounds like it could be a lot of fun

[lowflier]

Alright I have been thinking, and i reckon we should start from Wigram where the RNZAF more or less started, we then proceed north along the coast to woodburn, touch and go the proceed accross the straight to wellington, flyover the airport follow around Evans bay into the harbour and flyover the beehive and follow the Hutt valley and then head north off to Ohakea. We'll camp up there for a while and have a buzz around (tbc) and once finished up their head off to NZWP for the main event.
So anyone want to change of fix anything?

Another requirement is the scenery deal , all would have to have install that sorta thing , you want to keep it close , hands up who has Orbx , VLC and the RealNZ packages .

[captainherc]

Great tour.
I have VLC , Real NZ and others for airports concerned. Looks like will need to take the Dove for this. Can carry paseengers and all the gear for the stopover in Ohakea. BBQ lunch, yum.

Hahaha, I'll bring some steak and sauce. I think I'll take the A2A aircraft factory Corsair.

[Ian Warren]

That maybe were a problem lies by then could be a simple switch , so many addons for so many people but that,s part n parcel of getting a show like this up and running .

Any chance of posting a survey type chart where we can list/mark off what scenery /Aircraft we have then that will decide where to go in that direction. I know there are lots of aircraft used by the RNZAF during the past 75 years but in reality we cannot have them or even a small majority installed. I know that I do not. My two cents worth.

Good Idea

Scenery

[Ian Warren]

Exactly whats needed , a listing is a best start point for both aircraft and scenery

I knew we were missing something! A date! What's the general consensus on the matter?

[captainherc]

I think official formation was 1st April and the formal 75th celebrations are on


2–3 April
RNZAF 75th official birthday celebrations Forecourt Parade, Parliament, Wellington
Commemorative Service, St Paul's Cathedral, Wellington Formal Dinner, Wellington

As per previous calander posted.
So close to this would be great and give plenty of time to orginise A/C Scenery etc.

Hmmm I'm thinking April 3, provided we get alot more people onboard. SO SPREAD THE WORD!

[captainherc]

April 3,4 both good. Plenty of time to arrange for wife to have day off so she can look after kids and leave me alone.

LF , the better DC-3 would be Manfred Jahn model with Markus paint over at Flightsim.com

FSX NZ Warbirds C-47 'NZ3546'. Repaint for the Manfred Jahn Douglas C47, depicting ZK-DAK in its current livery as NZ3546. Aircraft preserved and operated by NZ Warbirds at Ardmore. Exterior textures saved in 32 bit format; DXT5 version included to be installed optionally for better performance. Texture files only, C-47 Skytrain Exterior Base Pack 1.0 required (C47BASEPACK.ZIP), optionally also the interior model tweak (C47_INTERIOR.ZIP). By Markus Hellwig. (See also NZ3546_FSX_FIX.ZIP)

LF post as April 3 and take it from there. Can we put up a list so people can add to the post with their intentions and A/C they wish to fly ( like the screen comp makking etc) so we can get a fell of numbers and A/C which we need to D/L etc.

[Kahu]

Just a question, when flying in multiplayer with someone flying with you in an aircraft you dont have installed, how does FSX decide what replacement aircraft to show.(I have noticed it will show a variety of default aircraft or similar)

Reason being can we make a file of AI aircraft with edited cfg. files, to show as replacements to the payware aircraft we dont have so at least we will see a mustang etc. not a C172

Generally it will only show a 172 for any type , i have not found any defined change unless the persons choose the closes to the type used , ie: B17 payware , DC-3 chosen replacement .

Gavin , that would be a brilliant fix and especially if you can use an AI package even maybe?
