Adam Banks Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 This is getting decidedly unhealthy! Here's my last "milk run" from NZAA to NZWN. Early morning start ... climb those stairs! Animated conveyor and baggage trucks! Taxying out ... Hold on - still setting up the MCP! Take-off was uneventful, so here are 3 classic portraits: The Qantas liveries are [also] stunning ... but I'm still hooked on ANZ! A lot of New Zealand looks like this! Saves on tiles, anyway One from the other side, for a change ... ... nah .. this side is less bleached out! NZWN approach ... The Avro RV100/BAe 146 isn't *that* elegant but it has lots of character. Qualitywings have done well with this one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Banks Posted February 1, 2013 Author Share Posted February 1, 2013 Very nice ! From where did you get the repaint ? Looks like you may have not seen my *other* RV100 topic (I promise not to start any more!!! ) .... - the repaint can be found on AussieX (along with the Qantas ones). This excellent ANZ one was done by Jeansy : http://aussiex.org/f...zealand-zk-nzk/ @moonman ... I *think* my health is OK ... they've just given me a nice white suit to wear ... with weird lace-ups on the back. The nice man from the white van gave it to me! Adam.

rlaycock Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Great shots Adam. Good to see you are enjoying the 146. I have it on good authority you have mastered the cold and dark starts. Did you use the standard procedure of if it is off, turn it on? Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Banks Posted February 2, 2013 Author Share Posted February 2, 2013 Good to see you are enjoying the 146. I have it on good authority you have mastered the cold and dark starts. Did you use the standard procedure of if it is off, turn it on? Bob - it's all your fault - you persuaded me to get the QW version! To set “Cold and Dark†as a default startup for every variant, add the line PanelState=01_Cold_And_Dark.PNL to the file qw146.cfg (in fsx_root/QualityWings). If you want to do a manual cold & dark startup on individual aircraft, use the MCDU/PNL method as described in the Quick Start Manual. I've created a re-working of the QW Quick Start Manual and uploaded the guide to NZFSIM: http://www.nzfsim.or...146_startup.pdf @dolf - you want MORE?? Right! Lemme go load up a Qantas livery! :ph34r: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rlaycock Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 On the charge of it being all my fault. I plead guilty as charged. Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Banks Posted February 2, 2013 Author Share Posted February 2, 2013 On the charge of it being all my fault. I plead guilty as charged. And your sentence is therefore ... under test conditions ... complete a cold & dark startup 100% correctly - without referring to any guides. ie. NO CRIBBING!

Adam Banks Posted February 2, 2013 Author Share Posted February 2, 2013 As threatened ... here are a few more! A dismal morning load-up at Brisbane: Climbing out and away from the murk: A bit more like the Gold Coast we know and love: Convinced yet? Get it! Adam.

Eric C Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Beautiful set Adam, and you and Jarrad are slowly convincing me to purchase this bird Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mallard Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Hi Adam - I'm still not quite convinced. Andy chance you might bring one or two additional posts showing off this plane (and - yes - I have seen your other post already) Just kidding! These pics are fantastic and I'm just that bit closer to getting this bird thanks to you...

Mallard Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 *OUCH!* Thanks for the prod - but I'll have to wait for a customer of mine to cough up some money before I can take the plunge... Cheers Mallard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Banks Posted February 3, 2013 Author Share Posted February 3, 2013 Thanks for the prod - but I'll have to wait for a customer of mine to cough up some money before I can take the plunge... That sounds woefully familiar! Errmmm ... you *have* sent the invoice, haven't you? :lol: I'm freelance/self-employed ... happy to do the work, but the paperwork .... arrrrgh! I'm lucky to have clients that beg/nag me for invoices! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mallard Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Yep - I did send the invoice. But some (thankfully few) customers like to take advantage of me setting a payment target for up to four weeks from the date of the invoice. And, of course, it's mostly the ones with the higher bills that like to do that. Anyway - a few hundred should land in the kitty any day now, begging to be spent (or at least some of it put in the savings account towards FTX Global) Cheers Mallard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
