Your clouds could use improvement. Do you have HDE? And I think the trail would look better if it was just below the ship, even it you had to do an edit. But it is still a very nice shot. Just keep on taking shots, you will get better. And it might help to read some of the tutorials in Studio V. Cheers.

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

I was in the process of slewing when i took the shot; and it was long before I ever found Real Environment Pro. I was not even flying the shuttle, it is a "scenery item" that I had found that puts 2 shuttles at Cape Kennedy, Florida ( X68 ), that will lift off by themselves.

BASE::: (single launch) http://www.surclaro.com/download.php?op=viewdownloaddetails&lid=15405&ttitle=sht...

Update 1: (makes it 2 launches within seconds of each other) http://www.surclaro.com/download.php?op=viewdownloaddetails&lid=15482&ttitle=shu...

Update 2: (2 launches:: adds sounds, more view angles, reworked visual effects)

I keep trying to get GREAT shots, but all that i can come up with is 1/2 decent ones where someone took a sawz-all to my planes. Nothing that I take will even rival what you, or 90% of everyone else is posting. Undecided

Maybe one day i will get my UBER - ULTIMATE Gaming computer that will make this P.O.S. Dell look like a 486sx .... (which i actually still have covered up with a tarp in the garage! Cool

i love the cloud of fire. it's difficult to take good shot with the shuttle cause it goes fast. and concerning the clouds, even if i was loving beautiful clouds i found that it was eating a lot of memory and decreasing the performance of my computer.so i put the clouds to minimum, and enjoy a more smooth ride.
