The SF50 Vision Jet G2 from Flight FX makes an ideal toy for this part of the world, being the playground of the country, famous for all those activities that create a tourist industry.

It brings a new dimension to personal aircraft, including the Parachute, and autonomous Return to Base button.

Sweet!  I'd love to see the avionics.

Nice shots, showing the area well... Nevertheless I´d prefer something slower to enjoy the region!

Great pics I'm glad to see you in the new sim.  I recall your amazing shots from older sims!

Thank you for the comments!

Ryan, we have clearly been here too long, we are talking FS9 ... 🙂

Ah yes, but that is another story

Beautiful pictures of this remarkably scenic (and mountainous) airport...and its vicinity.... (Do recall seeing videos of its extremely challenging RWY approaches) ...!!

Thank you... air traffic used to be very constrained due to weather and terrain.
I recall spending an hour on a Qantas plane burning off fuel after takeoff into a rapidly descending cloud ceiling, then landing back at NZQN.

The introduction of  RNP Procedures now allow movement regardless of time or weather.
It reminds me of the way one could "Fly through the boxes" back in FS5.  
Not sure if the current sim can reproduce this.

Great scenery and airplane!

Darryl

Some glorious scenery shown in your views.

A couple of handy flying machines too!
