| TEAL - Auckland to Chatham Island - November 1952 |
|
File Description:
In the 1950's TEAL were operating a flying-boat service to Chatham Island, out to the east of New Zealand in the South Pacific.
This flight is set in November 1952 and takes you from the TEAL base in Mechanic's Bay, Auckland, to the island.
Your navigation is by NDB's across the north island of New Zealand and then by dead-reckoning until within radio distance of the NDB on Chatham Island.
Your aircraft is the Short Solent IV and, if you do not have this aircraft in your FSim library, look for it under Jens Kristensen and/or Short.
Enjoy the flight and keep an eye out for a further TEAL episode in TEAL's history when I publish the Coral Route, currently being flight-tested.

| Cyclone Larry Relief Flight Richmond RAAF Base to Innisfail |
|
File Description:
In March 2006 a Category 5 tropical cyclone devastated the Innisfail area in far-north Queensland, wiping out 80% of Australia's banana-growing capacity, 10% of its sugar cane fields and destroying many dozens of buildings and homes. Miraculously, not one life was lost in the carnage.
This Flight sees you piloting a RAAF Hercules from Richmond RAAF base, west of Sydney, in New South Wales, to Innisfail airport. You are carrying water-purification equipment and the necessary expert personnel to set-up, operate and maintain the equipment.
The Hercules used in this Flight is the Freeware offering by SimShed, at http://www.simshed.co.uk
The file is c130c3.zip. There are, of course, many alternatives available, both Freeware and Payware.

| The Water Tower at Dover Heights, Sydney |
|
File Description:
The skyline of Dover Heights, on the high ridge south of South Head, is dominated by a distinctive water tower, a feature of the landscape for decades.
I thought it time that the thing was featured in Flight Sim, so here it is.
Although the real-world terrain is not accurately represented, at least the tower is in roughly the right location.
The tower is just one of the default FSim items, so no third-party material is needed.
It's not exactly the same as the real-life item but at least it is a tower and will be visible......at last!
