Thanks for looking.

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

Very nice

"Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth and danced the skies on laughter silvered wings. Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth of sun split clouds.....and done a hundred things you have never dreamed of.....wheeled and soared and swung high in the sunlit silence. Hovering there, I've chased the shouting wind along and flung my eager craft through footless halls of air.

Up, up the long, delerious, burning blue I've topped the wind swept heights with easy grace where never Lark, nor even Eagle flew. While with silent lifting of mind I've trod the high untrespassed sanctity of space, put out my hand and touched the face of god"

Great shot! Love it really! one quesion though.. did you make the reflections, or is that in the sim? If you did it, I may suggest to try to do all the parts that reflect in the water individually. That will solve the problem of the rear wheels and the drums looking like they are in the air..?

Other than that, I really like the shot, and the HR will be my wallpaper for a while! Grin

The exact same thing that sprung to my mind, Larry!

The very first thing I notice on all "ground" screen shots, are shadows.

You have the shadows...but they are in the wrong place.

Maybe the "contact points" of the wheels with the ground was incorrect in the model placement?

Other wise, an excellent shot....really excellent! Smiley

Thanks guys.

Those are not shadows, they are reflections, created by a PSP plugin called Flood. There were no shadows due to the overcast.
