P.S. this is how it works with a full-time scenery developer on duty... Just ask, and maybe you'll receive.

Provided you are a subscriber, of course...

Great service Rob....thanks for your quick response....I am sure you have more important tasks that you need to be concentrating on!!

I have installed the Wellington Photoreal Sub on top of ORBx NZWN and I am just gobsmacked at the detail and FR performance. And I am more than happy with the NZWN Airport rendition as it is!!!!!

Cheers,

Here's the 'finished' version, although it is pretty basic.

Sorry, I haven't tried it with FTX, but it does look like it belongs with VLC:


..although looking at that pic now, the masking is a bit sloppy. Sorry about that.

You can either extract the scenery and texture files to Addon Scenery, or the full folder (HeraldIsland) and activate it in the sim.

That's the trouble with NZ, it's so small you can't get away from reminders of the ex-wives...

It sure wasn't Owen , bits of it weren't even sealed . Lots of little houses . We had a little shop just down the road , run by a guy called Eddie (odd fish) ..... we used to run a tab , and would forget to pay , so he complained to the base commander and we ordered back on to the base .... oh well .

Hi Ian,

Rented a place there for a few months way back during 1968 when I was first posted to Hobsonville (3 BSS) after 6 years on Canberra's at Ohakea and Singapore during Confrontation (1964-Nov 66).

In those days you could virtually guarantee catching a good sized Snapper with your first cast off the jetty in quick time!!!

Cheers,

Bob R

Canberra's I have Marty's dads Canberra flight manuals and notes, be interesting to compare dates and your days and references.

my dad and his family used to live on herald island when he was a kid. they owned the local shop but it got burned down - was back in the days when no insurance so they lost the lot and had to leave and start again somewhere else. Was no bridge or causeway back then and they had their own dingy to get across to school, lots of tales I can barely remember.

Its amazing tracking history, a row boat to school, be hell of an excuse to play hooky - "I got blown out into the harbour".. or maybe that row boat was in the harbour doing a little fishing
