Exploring Chatham Islands, NZ

**azzaro** · 08-01-2012, 07:20 PM

350 Nm east of New Zealand lie the Chatham Islands; faithfully rendered as part of Orbx's North Island package.
I circumnavigated the big island looking for a dock to land my amphib. Beaver at. No luck. Not much habitation either.
Having checked with Google Earth, this seems to be the true state of affairs. Still a scenic flight.

As long as there is a beer garden there somewhere, everything is good.

Excellent shots Bob, it's nice to see a place you don't see to often.

More explorations. A few of the smaller islands south of Chatham. Flying my absolute favourite amphibian, the Aerosoft Catalina. — Bob

I wanna be there! Great shots!

Great shots Bob, that looks a heck of a lot more authentic than the standard FSX Chathams scenery which makes them look like they're covered in jungle! In real life they're a pretty cold, wet and barren place. On the plus side, they have their own airline which operates Convair 580s and DC-3s on scheduled passenger services!
