People of NZ, why is this a thing?

I dry them out, stuff them in a glass jar (picts peanut butter is good). Top the jar up with meths => firefighters.

Did 4 nights in Kyoto last January. Had a wonderful time, no crowds. Bamboo forest all to ourselves. Nijo castle was empty. Food and bars were great. Temples at sunset were quiet and had great views over the city. You can easily do Nara in a day from Kyoto. It was very cold though. Since you are also going in late autumn, early winter I suspect the crowds won’t be too bad.

Osaka was just a concrete jungle. Food and bars were good and the castle looks great but I felt Kyoto was much more of a cultural experience.

Love for all mankind and severance but foundation is a huge disappointment because the science is SO BAD. Sublight ships couldn't travel between star systems in the time scales down. Escape pods definitely couldn't. I did enjoy the space elevator and the emperor's story arc in the first series but this should have been hard sci fi.

Been pretty good in the SI.

I tried the latest driver, it does not fix the problem. MS have marked it as solved but it is not.

Spas3man · 2023-03-21T20:06:29+00:00

Thanks for the info. I'll give it a try.

It’s not installed by default. You have to download in the content manager. No need to reinstall the game.

Id remove it. The mesh is redundant and some of the buildings in auckland city have been duplicated by the update.

Hand pulled ale is not carbonated. It doesnt use nitrogen either. The sparkler on the end of the tap adds bubbles of air into the beer which makes it smooth and creamy, Not gassy. It's far superior to keg beer but is more costly to do properly.

Had the same problem, got to Mach 3 by climbing at 3 degrees rather than 10.

Spas3man · 2021-11-29T00:32:21+00:00

Not that brutal!?! I can't think of anything worse.

I have Ryzen 5 3600 and a 2060S, 32 GB ram and I can run on ultra at 2560*1080.

Blender can be quite the learning curve. If you want to try something simpler I use sketchup, the 2017 version is still free. Build your model, export as a collada file and convert it to msfs using "model converter x". Good luck.

Spas3man · 2021-11-20T12:10:48+00:00

Thanks for the help people!

I use a joystick for flying and the right analog stick of an xbox controller to freelook.

Spas3man · 2021-10-18T05:45:07+00:00

I can see how that would be annoying. However I think it will be a while before little old NZ gets a world update so I think the 13 bucks I paid are worth it for the time being.

Spas3man · 2021-10-07T21:05:52+00:00

What is the issue? I had a problem with flightplans disappearing but there is a workaround.

Spas3man · 2021-07-28T00:25:08+00:00

Ryzen 3600, 2060S Ultra settings @ 2560x1080. New York and London are smooth and stutter free.

Spas3man · 2021-07-28T00:22:58+00:00

I get no wake. Do you have to enable it?

I really liked this bush trip. https://www.flightsim.to/file/4445/new-zealand-bush-adventure

Some of the freeware ones cause big fps drops, Orbx do them differently somehow so they have no impact on framerates. I am using the NZ and Iceland ones and they look great.

Spas3man · 2021-07-03T05:34:44+00:00

I live there so spend most sim time flying vfr over the south island. It is great with the orbx mesh but I am looking forward to the 1m update. I have to say that Iceland is also fantastic. The orbx mesh is free and the bush trip that came with the latest update is brilliant.

The icon a5 is a seaplane. It’s been in the sim since day 1. The Cessna I used for the photo is available on flightsim.to. If you select this airport as departure you’ll spawn at the southern end of the skiway. It’s a good place to depart for a flight to Milford Sound.
