In case nobody noticed, I love Hawaii. Grin

Shots #1-2 are above the Forbidden Island of Niihau, S/W of Kauai.
Shot #3 is a coastline of Kauai at dusk.
Shot #4 is an aerial view of both Kauai and Niihau
Scenery for Niihau can be found on AVSIM, and Kauai is Default.

Both typically brilliant K. The first though is somewhat aircraft heavy, and could use a more defined scenery area. Second is an all-Simworld pic for sure...

Cheers for the feedback Danny - I'll slap the second picture in Simworld then.

Re the first: the Netherlands is one big flat area with water channels... I did my best lol. The city ahead is Rotterdam. Maybe some of our Dutch members can find a better spot with their local knowledge.... Grin

I'm going to try some of the less represented continents for my next effort...

Expect some nice Dutch shots from me this evening else, tomorrow.

Still nice shots Roger, however when I think of Rotterdam I think about the biggest seaport in the world ...

Nice one Harold....go for it. Rotterdam was just where I happened to be when looking for a nice spot.... it extends a fair way inland, according to my autoatlas of Europe

Yeah, I could do some Australian ones I suppose Clip

Or even find a couple to kick things off.

I think you should go with the Melbourne shot (only time you will ever here this from me - Sydney all the way). They are all pretty good, but the Melbourne one is the best composed. The plane adds to it, but it is not the focal point of the shot. The boat is in the...same boat as the plane! Cheesy

The graphics are lovely, and it showcases lush green parks, residential and commercial areas. The water is very nice, perhaps superseding the FSX drink.

Shot number two is my second favourite. The plane is more of the focus than shot one, but not by much. The deep, natural green is nice, but overall, the shot feels a bit empty.

Shot three is my third favourite. The sky colour is very nice, and so is the terrain. The trees are well layed out. The ground texture however, is not as good as the rest.

And shot four, ties with shot three. The airplane is heavily relied on, yet I think the plane and livery has been well chosen in this case, so it doesn't really detract. The sky, and weather, is really nice, and so is the ground. However, I think this shot is too, a bit lacking.

Thats my (perhaps, a little too harsh...sorry) analysis of these fine pictures. Wink
