Beautiful G-Max B377 doing a fly-by over the city of Philadelphia.

These are my first shots with my new graphics card which is an ATI 9700 so they're still a little rough. I'm working on getting it totally set-up.

Check out the swirl effect on the clouds in this shot.

It may be ugly but it is just the sort of 'plane I love. Nice pics by the way.

I'm with Liran on this, it does look like a hotdog with wings!
However the shots are simply superb Ramsa.

It's the retro 1950's or 60's look that I like. The day's before fly by wire and GPS. When men were men........ You know what I mean.

Thank you all for your replies.

I'm really glad that Ivan pointed out the fact that this was in its base form a B-29.

And smoke2much and Fly2e for their right on comments

What does everyone think of the ATI card compared to the old Nvidia?

And what do you think of the swirl effect in the clouds on that last shot?

"It doesn't not matter how you look on the outside but how beautiful you are on the inside"

Lets tweak that a bit.....

It does not matter how ugly your model can be, but how you handle stress and bad weather ( on the inside?)

Its really kind of hard to give an objective opinion about the differences between the two vid cards without a direct comparison, especially since you had the first one nailed and this one isn't quite there yet.........I think this one shows promise,..........and it should if its being brought into your system as a replacement or upgrade........
All in all, a fine presentation of a classic old 'liner.....

Stunning!! Shocked

The swirl effect looks cool 8)

Great shots!!!

Great shots Michael,

I am guessing that when you have this new card "dialled in" we will all be left with piles of drool on our keyboards!!

Will be on messenger for parts of tomorrow, when you are around I need to speak with you.

Best's
