New Zealand North Island up the East Coast


Quantum Amiga

Recommended Posts

After resolving my wierd North Island coastal irregularities, I'm taking a flight up the coast checking to see if there are any other issues that might bite.

 

 

And so far all looking pretty good :-)

 

Take off from Waihi Beach (NZWV) in my modded PBR Carenado C208B Caravan.

North(ish) bound.

?imw=5000&imh=5000&ima=fit&impolicy=Lett

 

 

Up the coast and left turn.

?imw=5000&imh=5000&ima=fit&impolicy=Lett

 

 

Heading to Cascade Bridge (N713) 

?imw=5000&imh=5000&ima=fit&impolicy=Lett

 

Taking at break @ Cascade Bridge (N713), bit of a tough place to land. ?imw=5000&imh=5000&ima=fit&impolicy=Lett

 

Tuning into NZAA

?imw=5000&imh=5000&ima=fit&impolicy=Lett

 

 

Getting closer.

?imw=5000&imh=5000&ima=fit&impolicy=Lett

 

 

Lining up for NZAA with a jet coming in behind me.

?imw=5000&imh=5000&ima=fit&impolicy=Lett

 

 

Next will be back over to the East coast to Pauanui Beach (NZUN) then North to Matarangi Beach (NZAG), Springhill (NZSL) and finishing @ Whangarei (NZWR).

 

Fingers crossed no wierdness pops out.

 

Cheers

I'm guessing these lovely shots were taken in P3D?  Very nice indeed!

 

I am currently doing NZNI in FSX after having completed a full tour of NZSI - the scenery and airports are amazing and never cease to please me in my biennial tours of these great Orbx products.

Thanks everyone and yes, they were taken in P3D using an historical date (Spring) and weather of September 2019.

 

I origionally purchased the NZ Islands back in my FSX days which was a huge improvement over the default FSX scenery.

 

I remember those FSX days, a 2 core workstation with a NVidia 760 I bought second hand from a work collegue, the machine could barely keep up and I'd have to keep pausing and wait for the scenery to catch up.

 

Now my OC Ryzen 3800x with OC 1070Ti manages to keep up with a very fluid 30 Hz vsync, although looking at updating the GFX card to a 3080Ti in a couple of weeks once I get my second vaxx out of the way.

 

Cheers

Nice colours and shadows in your set. Great idea to find an improvized place to land with your C-208B.

 

Tomato and Reshade to thank for such tuning.

 

Actually the airstrip is not improvised, it's listed as N713 and can easily be found by installing the NZ NI unlisted airports pack.

 

I landed @ N713 and taxied up to the buildings to have a gander so to speak.

 

Cheers
