VATNZ - VATSIM New Zealand

Hi All!

Got my PMDG Jetstream 41 out for some lovely VATSIM flying all day yesterday...took a couple of screenies to show the detail of the cockpit...i love this bird! Really nice to fly and plenty of stuff to setup and fiddle with to keep you busy. Still getting my head about the FMS but I had a great time yesterday flying between Taupo, Woodbourne, Wellington and Auckland. I keep geting FSinn asking me what type to specify though, its set as a J41 but still asks every time. I also wonder what image is being displayed to other users, would they just see a learjet?

Lovely photos Paul, too bad the PMDG JS41 only has a VC.

How come? Hard on framerates?

I'm not sure, but looking from reviews when it was first released there were never any 2D panels for it. Has that changed now in some kind of update?

Yeah I've just noticed it doesnt have a 2D panel, I find frame rates not too bad when using the 3d one though, average around 10-15 at NZWN with high detail and 15-30 in the air and my PC isnt by any means amazing.

I'm seriously addicted to this aircraft, its so much fun to hop between the regional airports with and do lots of handflying and VOR/DME approaches etc, not just relying on the FMS and autopilot like in the heavies. As someone else said, its GA fun in a commercial airliner!

Mmmmm so many switches to press
