Hi All,

Here are three shots that I decided not to use in the contest but still wanted to share as I think they are quite nice in their own right ...

Here's the shot that inspired my contest entry. Different livery, no vortices and shot with Walk & Follow ...

Thank you for looking, hope you like and please share your feedback.

Thank you Alex. The third didn't even make the first round but I had some serious doubts between number two (too bad we can't have 3D lights) and my entry. The shot over the runway has some serious 'ROOAAR!' but my contest entry had that 'LOOK OUT!' which is why I selected it.

Well ... my machine isn't that great when it comes to specs. But I believe that she's very well balanced. Even now my Raptor gave up on me (don't worry; I'm having her replaced under waranty) and I did a temporary Windows XP install with basically a default install of Flight Simulator, she performs like a beast. Apart from some (freeware) aircraft and scenery, Real Environment Pro and FS Sky World it is all default ...

So you don't need a top of the line system to get nice graphics.
