Adam Banks Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 The answer is ... VERY! Take a look at this pic or, better still, fly over the Hunua Ranges - just east of Ardmore (NZAR). If you have FTX NZNI, that is ... Then watch this video (eat your heart out!!) and take note around 4m 15s. It's a great example of ORBX creating an incredible sense of "being there" - just by clever use of autogen, colouring and landclass. BTW - that Spitfire is a wonderfully familiar sight around here ... Spitfire fix over ... back to drooling over NZMF! Adam. P.S. Sadly, that isn't me in the video!!!

Voyager Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 Really a fantastic view! Pleasant scenery! Well, as the Spitfire - in the real world - it's expensive to have one: buy and maintain! LoL We can be satisfied with a mere simulation, isn't it? Voyager Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJ Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 Yep, it's an amazing scenery. And that is a great video too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bermuda425 Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 One polished shot! Ah, and exactly the same livery as inthe video - nice. Greetings, Bermuda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Harris Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Brilliant shot Adam, and a nice comparison indeed! NZSI and NZNI actually won "best scenery of the year" of 2011 and 2012, bit proud of that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you only win it once? What happened to 2013-2015? LOL! I reckon ORBX should stump up the dosh and get you a flight in EN520/FL-A. Doug Brooker (the owner) said in a talk last Sunday that it's flying hours aren't particularly limited (as are many Spits in the UK) so all you need to do is turn up with a suitcase full of cash. Wait a minute ...after all the great publicity I've been dishing out here for NZSI/NZNI, I reckon ORBX should pay *me* to go up in it . Adam.

olderndirt Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 That music from the opening of 'Battle of Britain' still stirs me. A beautiful bird in a beautiful country - what more is there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
