captainbluesky Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Very nice shots Jack. That FSL A320 is an awesome study level aircraft isn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my very best and favorite planes. I never worked one of these in real life, so used to Boeing so it's amazing how little control the pilots actually have over the throttles! I mean the pilots are almost just along for the ride, the plane is so advanced it's amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see, my HUGE mistake, it's Queenstown. I apologize if I offended anyone. I should have looked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Lars Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Beautiful pictures, Jack, but a video of the Airbus rolling down that narrow runway would have been even cooler, with focus on the main gear... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussie123 Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Put on your hard hat Jack Our lovely Kiwi neighbours might get offended that you associated their beautiful Queenstown, with our Australian State across the 'dtch'. They are 3,500 km apart. A great and good hearted sporting rivalry exists between us and I am sure they believe a Rugby team from Queenstown could beat a team drawn from all of the state of Queensland. (Bit like mixing London, Ohio, with London, UK and saying they are the same. Very different .) Good to see you used the short runway at Queenstown. Bit more of a challenge.

I fixed it. My bust. Nonetheless, it's a very beautiful area. I watched the first of the three Hobbit movies on my iPad recently, then the making of it and gosh was I amazed at that country! Those NZ mountains and well, the whole country, I'd trade all I won to live the rest of life there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aussie123 Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 You are right Jack. It is a beautiful place. The snow line at this time of year is similar to that depicted by Orbx (see webcam shots below). https://www.skyline.co.nz/en/queenstown/plan-your-visit/skyline-queenstown-current-conditions/ Nice to visit all year round.

Aussie123 Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 I don't live in New Zealand Jack. I last visited NZ last year and spent two weeks driving around the South Island in a campervan. Beautiful place. Great people. That's why I like flying around the NI and SI in Orbx. Brings back memories until next time. It is a very good representation of the true scenery. REX Sky Force adds to the environment around those high peaks. Aussie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
