Don't mean to be picky but, while admiring your airspeed in number one, I noticed you were redlined on MP and RPM's. That's a bit hard on the motor so, after you level off, bring the MP back to recommended cruise setting and likewise the prop. Saves wear and tear, not to mention fuel

Instinct I guess. Some members seem quite interested in understanding what, besides the 1's and 0's, thery're doing - others not so much

These shots are okay, here are some tips to make them better:

1. Taking shots from the 2D cockpit isn't very realistic and doesn't make very good shots.
2. Neither does leaving the ATC window open. Same thing for the kneeboard, options bar and red text.
3. When the VC is so zoomed in on, it doesn't look very realistic and you don't get much detail. Try zooming out to a more realistic and better looking head position.
4. If your system is capable of it, try more AA or turn up some of your settings, if nothing else at least to take your shots.
5. I like the angle in the third shot, but the last two are boring. There is nothing exciting going on, no scenery to look at. Try cropping out some of the empty ground in fron t of the aircraft. It saves some space and shifts the focus of the shot closer to the plane. Also, don't just take shots as you're going down the runway, take shots at exciting times such as rotation or touchdown.

Don't worry, these shots are not bad, they can just be better. If you follow these tips and the ones in StudioV, your shots will get much better.

Cool
