Your lovely kai tak shots deserve some comments too!

Great angle on #3, and I like how the landing gear are transitioning down. I feel it adds a realistic effect to the shot!

Sh*t that is cool! Shocked

Those really give another perspective from my series. I love 'em.
And that DragonAir repaint is awesome! It is so obvious that Nicolas Nastri is with McPhat nowadays ... his work is amazing!

But the scenery is breathtaking! So detailed and yet very easy on framerates. Stunning piece of work!

Keep 'em coming! Maybe you can do some shots in Zurich next? Grin

Really nice crisp clear shots! - but (and its only my opinion not criticism!)i fear youve managed to capture some of the 'not so good' bits about kai tak - the blurry bits near the road for one (theres others on the edge of the airport near the terminal ive noted from flying around)

However thats hardly somthing you can control!! Repaint is rather nice however

They seem to have fixed that with the 2.1 update ...

Marcus, maybe you care to add to this?

Indeed, i have the update, it fixed the blocky stuff from altitude, but theres still some 'odd' textures round the airport near the approach and near the terminal. I thought it mite be my pc, or the way i had 9dragons installed, but they still appear to be there....

Hoever its not too noticeable, and the rest is so good!

Hello!

Ah man, it seems like all the good freeware scenery is for fs9. I know there eventually will be some good scenery, but there wont be much until fs11 comes out, if fsx is anything like fs9. Now that I am rambling on about fsx v. fs9, I forgot to comment.

Really good shots. I like the second to last.
