Closing the mini-tour of central Tasmania.... and finally some shots which look at least a little like the awe-inspiring promo shots for Aus Blue.

Another nice set Roger ... How's the Just Flight Moth? She looks really nice. Worth the effort?

All of them are excellent. I'll be glad when they get more of Australia opened up.

Thanks a lot guys!!
Harold, to be quite honest, no. Not objectively anyway, the price is steep, there are no complex systems modelled, and there are plenty of decent freeware biplanes. But I've always loved the old de Havilland planes, since my first ever flight in a Dragon Rapide, and having seen many nice screenshots, being a fan of Hagar's great photos, and having a bit of cash in my pocket at the moment I thought I'd splurge. The model is a beautiful work of art, with many repaints included, and flying it over Oz or wherever is a feeling hard to beat in FS...

We share that love Roger ... Recently I've been flying a lot of classic De Havillands like Beavers and Otters and I love them. They really seem to belong in Alaska
Not worth the effort then compared to the Lyons' Moth ... roger, Roger!

Very nice shots Roger, they really show off what FTX can provide. Although a Biritish registered Moth down under? Unusual I guess 8-).
