This is kind of an experiment.
OK, here's how it is:
Thunderbirds: Two seperate screens of FS 2004
Trees: FS2004 screenshot
Sky: Rendered in Bryce 5.01
Thunderbird Logo and Patch: Scanned off of a puzzle box, and repainted in photoshop.
Edited in Photoshop CS, Photo Impact 8, and Paintshop Pro 8
How's that for diverse sources Cheesy

Nice, but it seems to be overworked. If you want my honest opinion, I'd say a LOT less motion blur. They don't go that fast when performing that stunt. Also, no smoke. Wink

Just trying to give you a better shot.

I agree with you Rimshot.
After I posted this I realized there were a lot of things I didn't like about this edit.
The excessive blur being one of them, also no blur on the aircraft itself, and the "mirror" isn't right either, too perfect.
When they do this manuever, they are offset, and the altitudes are closer together, and the gear is retracted.
I honestly don't remember if they have smoke on when they do this.
I may do a different version of this eventually.
Thank you for the constructive critisism, I really appreciate it.

Are you sure they use no smoke in this maneuver? ???
