If
you like flying in mountainous areas, then your in for a treat with this
flight. I was looking at doing a plan around the Mount Cook area of New Zealand
when it was suggested to me to try flying out of Milford Sound. I am glad
I took the advice! With the NZ terrain mesh installed it is
magnificent. The FSNav plan will take you around the mountains and show
you some pretty impressive valleys and peaks. A word of warning
here, don't let yourself be distracted! When you get fix 2 & 3
those mountain faces can pounce on you very quickly! I have had to create
a FLATTEN command for Te Anua airstrip. Make sure its added to the
Scenery.cfg prior to the flight. Have fun!!.....Akulla
P.S. I don't think Aidan mentioned it, but the New Zealand
mesh is by Christian Stock and the link for download will send you to his site,
where you can get a lot of other interesting information and downloads too.
