Stillwater Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 Here you see us boarding in Christchurch, ready to bring tourists to the adventure capital. Quite a big city, at the pacific coast of the southern island. No doubt: flying the higher level planes is still a lot of fun in p3d. Everything works seamless: GSX, AI traffic, ATC, weather. Coming to the region of Wanaka a question pops up: Does the landscape look so dry because it is the end of summer? Or should it look more greenish in reality and the look is due to the sim version? The Crown Range appears even drier. But: we can see Lake Wakatipu in the distance... And as we descend the landscape gets some more colour again. We follow Kawarau River... ... straight into Queenstown. Ready for some days of hiking, abseiling, speedboating and bungy. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That´s the Aerosoft A320 - not perfect because it has some unwanted automatisms programmed, but challenging enough. 2 hours ago, BradB said: Fine set of shots Gerold , I’m off to cook up some spam and eggs for breakfast now ……..
