Jack Sawyer Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 With special thanks to @jankees for sending e links to his repaints. Real time and weather. It was a great flight in some of the most beautiful Orbx scenery in the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce R Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Nice shots again Jack. A quiet little town with not much there. An hours drive from Qtown. A few holiday homes, camping ground, a couple of shops and that’s about it. What it does have is magnificent scenery. It’s a lot more spectacular than the scenery depicts. It’s at the head of Lake Wakatipu. It has a wharf where an old steamer from Qtown called TSS Earnslaw, which is getting close to 100yrs old, still ties up at. Usually dropping tourists off. It it also has a very exclusive accomodation for the very wealthy. See your photo 25. It’s shown off the left wing. Probably an average salary per night.

VH-KDK Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Outstanding series from your flight Jack. I like the livery in the Beech too, I like these older liveries. A very nice flight from Queenstown with a scenic airport at the end. 38 minutes ago, Bruce R said: Nice shots again Jack. A quiet little town with not much there. An hours drive from Qtown.

I really am, it's such a pleasure to fly around Orbx's NZ and feel suspension of disbelief and feel like I'm there, what a cool hobby. 12 minutes ago, VH-KDK said: Outstanding series from your flight Jack.

Jankees provided the livery, I have several A2A planes reskinned in Kiwi Regis so it'll be fun flying around these islands for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulb Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Super shots Jack! I like the livery on your Staggerwing . New Zealand is one of my favourite regions to fly around. As you say, it's quite beautiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Paul, this is a beautiful Orbx region, it's got everything, mountains and valleys, the ocean for seaplanes, and lots of lush forests. Quite nice!
