If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.

Well I like the shot but which part was edited.

There's just a few things I dont like about this picture... (I thought i'd let you know since no one else will comment on this)...

The texture of airplane is bad but that has nothing to do with your work but the ground looks very plain, flat, and as if they're is nothing down there even though your most likely at a high altitude.

Other than that I like the idea but high altitude shots won't spark alot of interest like this. Undecided

Which is most likely why you're not getting comments.

The clouds do look nice in the back and that sun is really bright. Cool

Good job.

Sincerely, Tyler

The edit is a little tweak of the sun and some color adjustment, plus a lot of work to get rid of the jaggies. My system is pretty much taxed out, so there is not a lot I can do. Can't afford any upgrades, the most needed of which is memory. And for some reason, I can't get AA to make much difference at all. I've tried everything I can think of based on the tutorials. I just can't get the desired results on my system. And any comment, good or bad, is better than none. Thanks.

Oh okay I totally see now. You removed all those jaggies from that shot! Wow, I didn't even notice now that is some good editing to remove those.
I totally get what your saying also. I ran FSX and had BAD BAD graphics so I never did screenshots and if I did they were rarely. I hated plain old shots and I hates flying with jaggies, having the game being jaggie, and no scenery at all so I moved down to FS2004 and what a difference. Shocked

I cant upgrade because im using a laptop. Roll Eyes

But 2004 runs fine! Cheesy

The thing is, I'm running FS2004 and most of the time the jaggies are either non-existant or barely noticible in the game, but very evident in the screenshots. I've downloaded some scenery but I have very little AI because my system is already so bogged down. And when I run Recorder and play it back as traffic, the AI plane is so jerky you'd think it had a disease. I worked for two hours putting two A-10s in a composit and the smallest file size I could get with any image quality at all was 160k. I'm just about ready to give up.

Well you shouldn't give up. I know how you feel. I was going to after FSX. It can get a little agrivating but upgrading a computer can cost less than you think to and if you cant right now then just wait. Put the screenshots off to the side although I really like what you've done on this one and to remove all those jaggies and pull of that shot is alot of work. Shocked

Its not a perfect, great, stunning shot which is the bad part with all the effort put towards this shot but ive seen some really really good edited shots by you and one I actually voted for in the edited screenshots nomination.

Dont give up so quick. It will come back and you know next thing before you know it you'll be upgrading that computer or maybe even just getting a new one. Cool
