[Bruce Thompson]

Thank you Dave for yet another treat, going to fly this one in Orbx NZ South island.:salute:





Regards

Bruce.

Well I wish I had some Orbx or other high-res scenery to fly over and I wish I knew why my screenshots are not being saved....

BUT

...this is a real treat of a model and the VC is a really nice place to be: realistic 3D gauges and a beautiful yoke to go with the impressive FDE. I like her a lot Dave, thanks ever so kindly ta for this keeper! :salute:

Who says enthusiast-produced freeware is dead??


edit: good old Hypersnap! Westbound from Duxford this evening: stock FSXA, real-time weather.

I took me a while to finally install it, but what a great model!
Payware quality, and for nothing, outstanding!
Thank you, Dave!

Ian: weren't they the first to land in Milford Sound?

They were the first airliners that landed at Milford in the mid 1950s , but to my knowledge was a couple pioneering flights pre WWII using Tiger Moths or similar type but the Rapide opened up the region , many aircraft have been lost notably a DH Dragonfly that was lost without a trace in 1962 and search gos on today , the area has got to be known as New Zealand's 'Bermuda Triangle' .

You sad geeky man , I remember that episode and the first thing that came to mind was the pilot.

Wonderful screen shot... but that scum on the floats is perfection

[Ian Warren]

Following JanKees brilliant paints into ORBX NZSI , here is the real deal - 1962 , Milford Sound - New Zealand from the book published by the
NZ aviation historian Richard Waugh , superb selection .

Million back in those days in New Zealand

[Scandinavian]

Not quite my kind of airplane, I'd rather have a Dove or Heron. But a salute for a great piece of work with this modell. It looks great.
