New Zealand is certainly a very scenic country, so it’s time to explore it from above in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, with an Airbus A320 flight from Auckland to Christchurch.
This is the first of a new series of articles focusing on videos, and they’ll do exactly what they say on the tin, featuring full flights between interesting destinations, on some of the simulator’s best aircraft.
All the videos will have extensive unscripted commentary, and hopefully they’ll prove entertaining and educational, as you can follow along and learn to fly the featured aircraft with us (including from our mistakes, of course).
Today’s flight is between Auckland Airport (NZAA) and Christchurch Airport (NZCH), flying over both of the country’s large islands, including a look at the stunning Mount Taranaki.
We’ll fly the Airbus A320 with IAE engines by Fenix Simulations on the PC version of Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, and the route will be as follows.
NZAA/23LÂ N0456F360Â LEVR2P IGBAT H384 NP H252 NS Y288 IPRAK AVNO1EÂ NZCH/02
