Really nice piccies

Two questions, what version of flightsim is it - as I have to reinstall msfs after my pc went phut - and where do you get the NZ Warbirds aircraft from?

Cheers,
Stu.

Hi Stu

Its FS 2004 with a heap of add ons - both freeware & payware

The Harvards are available from www.alphasim.co.uk// .

The RNZAF paint schemes for the Harvards are from Avsim.com search under alphasim Harvard fs 2004 & FSX repaints (they work in either sim). Ther are heaps of RNZAF paints for this.

Mustang is freeware - search under Warwick Carter @ avsim (I think).The repaint is available @ www.sim-outhouse.com - search under Lucian Lye - I think you have to register to get this.

The Dak is default with the scheme available at www.flightsim.co.nz or Avsim

If you have problems locating any of them drop me a line via PM

Cheers

Agree, they are all really noice pictures. Has anyone with an eye for detail noticed that Harvard 53's fin flash on the starboard side is reversed (blue first), and the Kiwi roundels on the underside of the wings face rearwards?

Thanks guys - I presume flyjoe that you are talking about the real Harvard 53? There has been some comments on that Harvard and the flightsim scheme on NZFF.org with the wing roundels around the worng way and we thought the repainter got it wrong - he then corrected then we found out the real one was also wrong. Didn't note that the fin flash was wrong as well.

[flyjoe180]

The real life NZ1053 is incorrect. I am told it was a joke by one of the restorers (name withheld to protect him from Harvard purists) due to some problems with the RNZAF at that particular time over the military markings being applied. Hence the Kiwi's bum points into the airflow, and the reversed finflash on the starboard side. A statement by one person, but the markings were never subsequently corrected.

Love that F-4F Phantom and the F-14 Tomcat.
