"I have an honorable mention and that goes to Shane....thank you for showing all of us the eclipse that is in your shot, I too did not know that it could be done."





"I would like to again thank everyone who entered, i hope you all enjoyed this theme...I know i did.

correct...a C-130 is a turbo prop....it uses a jet engine to turn the prop.... i would just like to see regular prop engines, i have seen discussions about the proper definition of a turbo prop, some say it is a engine that uses a turbo to boost power and some say it is one that uses a jet engine(turbine powered)...so to make it easier for us all and harder at the same time its just the good ole props Grin

some great shots so far...keep them coming Cool

I haven't looked up any official eclipses yet, so I'm not sure if it will do it, but it would be cool to try.

I just loaded into the sim and there this was, so I was like 'hell yeah!' and took some shots. Grin Wink

I believe there is a total eclipse to happen this summer, next month I think. Cool

Wow, thanks for the win! The connie was an FS9 port-over, so the props were junk. So I found some new props made by BananaBob and that did the trick!

Already have an idea in mind, and since Shane used one of the ideas I had recently... gonna have to use something else. But I guess it's predictable!  Grin
