I think it's pretty good! Not obviously jaggied like the Falcon, and the shine makes them look a bit more 3d than the Cessna: better than I can do for sure! Props are fine, and they blend quite well. On first sight, an 8 out of 10 for this type of pic.

Looking closer, the planes are obviously just the same one rotated... you might get a better effect using the same plane (if you don't have another option) but rotate it against a white screen in the sim to get the different angle and lighting. Then cut the two planes out of the two shots (twice the work Embarrassed

) and paste them...

Perhaps try to add some self-shadowing to the planes too, and maybe add some oil or weathering, and also change the number, and the cabin details, anything to make them look more different.

That's what I would try to do, but feel free to ignore me, I'm just a beginner...

Everyone keeps telling me that the planes need to blend better. How should I do that?

Look at the lighting in the real shot. You can't just cut it out of a screenshot from FS, paste it in, then expect it to blend perfectly. You'll have to mess about with highlights and shading (that's where the burn/dodge tool is handy), and play around with the levels.

One rule is to make sure you take your screenshot(s) in the same situation as the photograph (ie. same time of day, same position in relation to the sun, same weather if need be, etc).

Keep working at it. Wink

Is it just me or does the prop on the left one seem to be a bit funky?
Nothing a little distorting can't fix...

great job pick those things out, even though they don't blend perfectly.
lol i couldn't have done any better either!
