Okay Daube I think I like your tutoring. Wink

When I get there will buy you several drinks.

Does this look better and any other suggestions and advice?
Saw your post again in this Forum..."Just One".

Never used CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER before and I like that technique and it does exactly what you said it would.

Looking forward to your and everyone's advice and comments.

Thanks...

Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug

Awesome shots Doug.

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

In FSX, when using an "Aircraft" or "Virtual Cockpit" view, you can use any combination of CTRL and/or SHIFT with ENTER or BACKSPACE to change the angle of view.

Nice shot!

Good morning all...

Thanks one and all for the comments and thanks Frequent Flyer for posting that for JakesF14...much appreciated.

Still would like to know if there is anything I should do to make them look as good as the fine work you folks post.

Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug

Wow Doug, that first shot is really amazing ! Shocked

What coud I say as additionnal adivse ?... Well, I don't know. Perhaps those few points:

- the position of the aircraft has to be chosen depending on what is visible in the shot. In your first shot, it's almost perfect ! But in the second shot, there's not much to see, so the plane could have taken a bigger portion of the screen, to show more details of the plane, since there are no "scenery" details to show.

- you set your plane in the lower corner of the shot. Don't forget that you can choose any corner, left or right, top or bottom Wink

- the plane is maybe a little bit too much at the bottom. A good position would usually be at 1/3 of the total width and height of the picture. So that means a little bit more up in your case.... but again, this mainly depends on what has to be shown in the picture.

- showing the complete plane is good, but not mandatory. If the plane has a nice external model with cool textures and details, then it's also very nice if only a part of the plane is visible in the shot. Just like in your original "just one" screenshot. You have probably already seen several screenshots here where only a part of the plane is visible, from any angle, and still it looks good. But that takes a lot of experimentation !

Good luck Doug

Got bloom ?
Got mountains ?
Got damage ?

Thanks Stephane "Daube"...

I see what you mean in shot #2 and I am starting to experiment a little more with moving the aircraft about.

I like to have a "Theme" in mind when I take a shot. I first plan a flight from point A to point B unless I stay in the circuit doing approaches.
I think by having a theme in mind helps to plan a flight so that is how I do it.

A lot of young aviators stay clear of clouds and that is a good idea at times and in certain locations.
But to really enjoy flying one needs to fly in all kinds of weather, seasons and times.
Popping in and out of clouds in a small bugsmasher can be fun, I let Air Traffic Control know by phone then radio where I am and that I am out doing photo shoots and will be working this area.
I think they know dam well what I am up to but they keep the heavy metal and the other spam cans away or at least advise me of traffic.

So flying in and out of puffy wuffies was my actual theme in the two shots. The pictures were taken from 8000ft and perhaps I should have used a bank shot or something along that line.
