On our final day in Milford we did the obvious cruise - early in the morning to avoid the crowds. The cruise includes a visit in the Underwater Observatory, which is even included in the NZMF scenery pack. Anyway, this sign is a real life shot from inside the building. Deviating from our real trip I took a plane to explore the region. First to Martin´s Bay... ... then "hiking" via Hidden falls Hut... ... to Alabaster Hut... ... and finally with a plane to Gorge River airstrip at the Tasman Sea coast.

It is time to continue my trip report Warning: Not much flight action in this post! After arriving in Milford Sound we took a walk around the village. The first place for a simmer (and probably for many other visitors as well) is the famous airport. Sure we spotted a number of planes going in and out - all within a few minutes. The scenery has lots of details, I can´t show them all here, ... ... because we went along the peninsula a bit further to Roscos Kajaks. And surely we enjoyed the views of Bowen Falls. We took a boat to Sandfly Point, the end of the Milford Track - hard to spot in the RL photo, but there it is! - ... ... and walked until Giant Gates. The last day in Milford we took a ride on this boat... ... getting close to Stirling Falls. Finally we relaxed on THE bench at the mole, ... ... you may spot her in the center of this picture as well. There should be some more flying in the next post, I propose.

As many of you will remember, one catecory of sim flights I do is re-flying trips that I have done in real life. Posting screenshots from these flights, I often added some real life-photos. This has become more challenging in the last years, due to two reasons: 1. With MSFS not many sceneries cover the Orbx forum rule "must contain scenery made or sold by Orbx", so these can´t be posted as I did in the past on the Orbx forum. 2. Over the past two years about half of the guys that used to post and comment moved to the AVSIM forum, and half stayed at Orbx. Now that some more attractive payware sceneries have been established, I will try to take up my documentation practice again - let´s see if I can manage it. Last February we travelled with some long-distance night flights to New Zealand, overcoming our jetlag and starting our tour in Queenstown. We went down to the southernmost point on the planet I have been until now: Mossburn, ... ... had late breakfast in Te Anau, ... ... before driving up the Eglington valley. Via Mirror Lakes ... ... to Lake Gunn (the one left below). Followed the road to Homer tunnel. As some of you may know, this is a single-lane tunnel only, so you have to wait before you may pass. Guides say this can take up to 30 minutes in high season. Even with a car it is quite a steep way down from there to the valley. But with a plane this is even more challenging. The routined pilot can do it, before turning into final over the famous sound. We stayed in Milford Sound Lodge, a place that was finally added to the scenery with the area pack. An area we will explore on the follwoting days in more detail.

Hereby my experience with Milford Sound - NZMF, who is for some under discussion after WU12. I however experienced no negatifs or degradation of this beautiful Site at the N-W Coast of NZ-Sth Island.
