This time the Skydiver out of Mt Cook, NZ, over Orbx NZ mesh, & a couple for the Freight variant trying to ILS into PAKT. Haven't got that sorted yet. TTM Departed PAKT, Rwy 11 & now circling back to come back into Rwy 11 on an ILS track. I was able to capture the Nav1 morse signal but couldn't hold the descent to 3%, it was steeper. I was using the standard GPS as the TDI decided it wanted a reset. Too low this far out so it was hand flown in rather than on the AP.

MSFS: PAC XSTOL out of Alexandra
TigerTigerM replied to TigerTigerM's topic in Community Screenshots
I suspect at this stage it doesn't drop fertilizer as I think it would have been highlighted in publicity shots. Perhaps in future refinements? TTM -
Due to budget restraints, a bit late to the party for this one. A short flight out of NZLX, Alexandra, located in the Central Otago region of the South Island of New Zealand. An appropriate place for a test flight of an iconic NZ aircraft, the top dressing variant being 1st out of the hangar. Flight went well, aircraft is very smooth & appears to have a lot going on on the dashboard. I had the TDS GTNXI GPS system in my arsenal so I loaded that, but may have to rethink this as the TAWS was firing off as I flew low over the terrain. Something that a top dresser must do for authenticity, but it sets off the strident "Pull Up"!, & "Watch out for the Terrain" voices. Perhaps I can silence them somehow? What I have seen of the aircraft so far I like, & I look forward to putting in more time in the different variants. TTM

Well, I hope it is released by this weekend. Coming down the pike is the MSFS 40th Anniversary event on November 11th, [if they don't postpone it] Given that that event has quite a few free aircraft that will divert attention from any payware releases, Orbx has about a month to release & promote the 750 XSTOL before attention is side lined to the much awaited DC-3, and so on.

I think it was a Drone lens effect. TTM

Thought I would have a look at the bonus airfield that came out with the Bromma/Malmo updates. Took the Ant's Tiger Moth in a Jankees Swedish livery out for a quick look around. Houses tucked away everywhere. A nice addition to Swedish small airfields & worth a close up look. Shots are pretty rough. TTM

Yes, in at the top, out the bottom. The Pilot & Loader/Driver are a team & a good team can turn the aircraft around very quickly. Fertilizer spreading is usually carried out early morning or at dusk, needing very low wind to avoid drift. & often the FU-24's had minimum muffling and you could hear them miles away. The aircraft itself is very strong & powerful. The biggest risks are engine failure on take off and power line strikes. There was an emergency dump lever for the former & wire cutting edges on the wings for the latter, but unfortunately it is a high risk occupation with attendant fatalities. TTM

If you do add a few more liveries for the Top Dressing version, can I suggest "Wanganui Aero Work Ltd"? The image is the Fletcher FU-24-950, which is a predecessor of the Cresco, which itself is a predecessor of the 750 XSTOL. The Fletcher/Cresco fertilizer top dressing runs over hill country farms are very spectacular & often involved diving down about 20' above the paddock then pulling up into a steep climb followed by a wing over & top dressing pass going back the other way. Here is an example of the type of country they operate in in New Zealand & the makeshift airstrips they use. TTM

Inspired choice! Takes me back to watching the Cresco's working the farms behind where I lived in NZ,& in the Wanganui sheep farm hill country & around Taihape. Used to fly a freeware version in FSX & this is very welcome in MSFS. Hope it sells well. TTM PS - Is this an Orbx In House development or a 3rd party Partner product? Visuals look very good.

Nice set of images! You refer to a DC-3. Was that the one we thought was coming in 2021? TTM

Johnny - Nicely composed chickens. The Lady In The Chair is an interesting addition. Not sure if she has dropped LSD, but her stare suggests her Right Brain is somewhere else I can't comment on the Goose, other than it looks to be hustling for food. TTM

Probably some of your "Storage Wars" purchases TTM

Ant's Tiger Moth (MSFS): NZ and UK
TigerTigerM replied to Adam Banks's topic in Community Screenshots
Another superb set of shots. Aircraft is a winner. How do you move between cockpits?? TTM -
Absolutely! TTM
-
Missed them 1st time through. Very interesting additions. I think the goose is inquiring about the blondes hangover. I have been blessed in the hangar with a GA Twin that has simultaneous stationary & spinning props! & a Stayer 958 Tractor! What's in your Hangar Brad?? TTM

Goes back to P3D version. Ken was encouraged to add a Pony to the clutter. Still waiting. TTM

Out of left field, & I am wondering if there is a 'change log' anywhere? I think there are some new buildings? But the pony is hiding out in the forest I guess? TTM
-
Ultra? What is that? Nice set. I notice in several shots a 'brightness glare' at the edge of the shot. I have been getting that and it seems more intense now. Was the sun low in the horizon? TTM
-
Nice capture! TTM

Sharp shots! MSFS? TTM

Night flight - London City to Edinburgh
TigerTigerM replied to Jack Sawyer's topic in Community Screenshots
Nice set Jack. Do you use Little Navmap? I find it very handy for ILS/Autoland approaches as the 'green' feathers show you the ILS route onto the runway & helps with alignment. When I enter the feathers after coming towards the ILS Rwy on AP, VNAV, LNAV & autothrottle, I hit LOC, then APR & then the 2nd AP button. I have had several successful 737-600, 700 & 800 Autoloading's, & several misses. It appears that the approach height when you enter the feathers is quite sensitive & I usually come in on the low side, around 1,800' to 2,000'. I have overshot several times approaching the ILS descent section at 3,000'. TTM -
Virtual camping with John - 42 BC Red Bluff Base

I have another query - are the buildings part of the //42 product, or someone else's artifacts? TTM -

Great set of shots. Curious whether the wood burner in Shot #6 has 'flickering flames"? Amazing amount of fine detail & weathering. TTM
