Butch Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 Hi All, I've had an urge to paint this plane... this flight is out of Cairns all the way to the red centre at Alice Springs. I believe the real plane is a -400, it has the double overwing exits so I think this is pretty close. Anyway, here we are at head office all loaded up and getting ready to start up. The ramp was pretty busy so I have to start up from the neighboring hangar. Holding at runway 17 ready for the sharp cork screw turn (180deg) to the left to follow the BIB1 SID out of Cairns. A glimps of the international terminal behind us... Having to pass the time, before me there was a Customs Islander that taxied like molasses then as it took off I had to wait for this Qantas 73700 to come in. Part of the corkscrew... looking back at Cairns, isnt that just beautiful. I was pretty heavy being only 1000kgs below MTOW, coupled with the tropic heat... my 737 wallowed its way up to a cruise of FL320 Fast forward to the approach, YBAS is just beyond that ridge and I am tracking to intercept RNAV approach into rnw 12... I'll have the cut the story short here, beyond that ridge lies the latest Beta version of YBAS which I don't have the green light to show you yet... I can tell you its looking really nice just perfect for the NGX. Cheers, Butch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henderson Pow Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 Crap man that's good! If you get the 600 series the paint will look even closer to the real world one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek McAllan Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 Great shots mate, but damn what a tease I'll have the cut the story short here, beyond that ridge lies the latest Beta version of YBAS which I don't have the green light to show you yet... I can tell you its looking really nice just perfect for the NGX. Cheers, Derek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Butch Posted September 19, 2011 Author Share Posted September 19, 2011 Thanks again guys, I've debating if I should scuff this one up a bit but I think if I did that it would never get released so... I should have this out by the weekend. @ Warpspider, I know its a tease and had not intended it to be so just had not thought it through until I was posting the screenies. I'll take that one on the chin, sorry gents. Edit: I believe some official screenies are due out shortly... stay tuned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
