It was a beautiful day. We started in kerikeri and flew over the Bay of Islands to the end of Cape Brett. The guys agreed to try Mooney Bravos this time. They are like the BMW of small planes.
Flght Crew: Mattly, Ron, Mario, Bold, Typhoon, Viking and Scrunty.

We then turned south and headed for Whangarei. The oceans textures look great, you even see the swells moving. Very realistic.

At Whangarei Typhoon joins us and we head south to Great Barrier. It's important to note that we fly in the current real weather conditions.

Viking shows up and flys overhead in his Learjet. The picture is not from our multiplay, but shows off the Lear quite well.

Nice stuff. Anyone doing ATC ? Is it any good ? Reminds me of the old days of VATSIM, when I wasted many a night doing LAX ATC...

Didn't realise that you used to be a flyboy Prom.
![Smirk :>](./images/smilies/smirk.gif)
. We haven't tryed that side of things yet, but apparently Doug Westland does ATC often and is willing to give us a try. The bigger issue it the moment is that most of the guys are brand new to this flying thing and we have a long way to go before they can follow flight plans etc. Still we are certainly getting alot of flying in at the moment.

Aye. I used to do a lot of Vatsim stuff, and spent many a night flying with it too. Alas, my system won't run FSX to a decent quality, and seeing it runs FS2004 quite well, I'll stick with that. Mind you all I'm doing at the moment is racing stuff.....
Maybe next year

If you can run FS9 with some min tweaking you can run FSX dont let the stories scare you off.

Im running it Prom on my p4 3Ghz, 2GB ram and only a 9800 pro 128 meg card. It runs smoothly maybe not with the best graphics but still quiet pretty.
Will post a couple of screen shots for you so you can see what its like on my machine.

Same. When you were going through the details today, a lot of mine were the same as yours apart from the draw distance.

Canterbury plains as Wide and myself flew from Christchurch to Timaru. It's so flat we were able to travel at 500 feet the whole far. At approx 380kmph it's a great ride.

Anyway that's another flight for the logbook. As long as you keep your plane iin one piece the logbook records your successful flights and awards medals for reaching particular benchmarks.
