Thanks for looking.

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

In the last one, is that the VC or the 2D pit? Also, is this freeware? Where'd you get it? Thanks, and cool shots!

That's the VC. Guess I should have taken a couple more with different angles. Sad

It's Milton Shupe's XA-38 Grizzly updated by Nor-Cal. You have to register but it's free. They have a number of good aircraft. The only bad thing with this one is the props are behind the clouds because it is a FS9 aircraft updated for FSX. To avoid that, it has to be built from scratch for FSX. But it has the best sound set I have ever heard and flies great. I can live with the cloud/prop problem. Just have to be careful with your screenies like I was with these shots. BTW, there are about six or seven different liveries/variations.

I can't even remember if I have seen Finding Nemo, let alone Bruce. Don't worry, you'll get old one day too. Roll Eyes

When I was on this flight, I was thinking about aliasing the B-25 sound to it. Roll Eyes

Thanks Jakes.

But it has been a rough road getting there, and I still have a was to go. FSX and Windows 7, not for the faint hearted. Roll Eyes

But I can't take all the credit. I am able to get this quality in my shots not only because of my new computer, but also because of over a year of training and gentle help from too many SimV members to list. So for anyone that is a new member and thinks they will never get their shots looking like some of the members that amaze them so, you are due another thought. Stick around, read the tutorials, all the threads, and be patient. It takes time, but probably more for me than you young whippersnappers. I'm old and slow. Roll Eyes
