... I think I bought it seconds after it went live!

More pics! The lighthouse light rotates and illuminates the surroundings ... All this ... and I still haven't shown the detailed buildings around the airport(s) yet!
-
Here you go!!

There's a wealth of detail in Orbx's partner NZA Simulations' Milford Sound area release - but these initial pics are more to do with the stunning scenics: The waterfall is beautifully *animated* St Martins Bay: Many of the local airstrips are modelled - a real treat!

A fair few "over-wing" shots this time, but my vote goes to paulk (Vancouver) ... -
Thanks, Iain! I'll see if I can set up some before/after shots. That's a super image, BTW! If you Google YouTube, you should find a few amazing RL videos of NZQN approaches - they must be breathtaking! Thanks for the nice comments, folks!

MSFS has many faults, but the one thing that never ceases to amaze me is the quality of the terrain tiles ... so much variation and so much detail. I tried a flight from Dunedin to NZQN and found myself seeing these wonderful tiles on the [rather peculiar] RNAV approach to NZQN: All with Orbx NZ Mesh - not that you can see much evidence of it (!). Question for Iain: would pic #1 qualify for the screencomp? I know Cumbria is close to your heart - but I was wondering whether to swap it for the NZ version - #1 above <?>.

As promised/threatened ... here are five more ... this time, over the Lake District, Cumbria: Adam.

Here's mine - the superlative A2A Comanche over the Lake District: Adam. -
Nice one of the dreaded "widowmaker"! I saw a couple of these flying low and fast when on holiday in Germany in my early teens - they were very noisy - and looked amazing!
-
Thanks for the encouragement, folks! I've just managed to reinstall Reshade, so expect some more pics soon!
-
Since A2A released their stunning Comanche, I've almost been to busy enjoying it to take screenshots ... but finally ... here are three: more to follow, I'm sure! This is a quarry near NZAR Ardmore (my usual start location): Somewhere in the Queenstown area: "Ring of Fire" ... also near Queenstown: Adam.

Great to see some "local" shots from you Iain! There's always so much variety to be had in NZ.

Another sultry scenic one from South Island from me! Orbx NZ Mesh: Adam. -
I'd like to see you fly that thing under the Clifton Suspension Bridge, LOL! Adam.

A beauty! Amazing colouring!

My vote goes to wain71 - nice to see X-Plane entries appearing! -
Iain's "Pacific Wave" NZ/ATR post reminded me that I had a treasure trove of ATR shots still on my hard drive. It's been one of my favourite aircraft for years - and the [old] Pacific Wave livery suits both the aircraft and the NZ landscape. So ... here goes!! Much more appealing than the Dash-8 IMHO: A couple of Air Chathams ... Back home ... ... and under cover! Adam.

May 2023 Screenshot contest! Prize 100 Orbs.
Adam Banks replied to Iain Emms's topic in Community Screenshots
Here's my hopeful for May! -
A grand shot. Best aircraft out there - and definitely the best livery for it! The "Pacific Wave" has always been my favourite - as I hate the black and white abominations that followed. To me, NZ is all about blue (sky), green (land) and white (clouds) - not some unimaginate choice of a non-colour just because a rugby team uses it. Rant over! Anyway - you beat me to it ... I have a massive hoard of screenshots featuring the ATR over NZ still to post ... incoming !!!! Adam.
