Wo, wo, wo, where'd you get that 747? IT IS SICK! Nice shots, the water in the first is incredible.

I went outside once. The graphics weren't all that great.

Burn the land and boil the sea, you can't take the sky from me.

Scenery looks awesome and the Stinson looks right at home. Great shots Rob.

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

Great shots Shocked

#1 is a winner.............I wish I could nominate it

"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"

Both amazing shots! as already stated above, the aircraft in the first shot really looks like it belongs there!

the second shot really works well too, both very sharp and clear!

I love the first shot.
That's the FSX conversion (recompiled) of an FS9 plane right ? I had it in my FSX until not so long ago. I didn't like how dark the inside of the cockpit was. Is it really dark in your case as well ?

Got bloom ?
Got mountains ?
Got damage ?

In my humble opinion you've hit all the right marks with numero uno! Shocked

FSX, we've come a long way baby! Skunk Works is an official alias for Lockheed Martin’s Advanced Development Programs (ADP), formerly called Lockheed Advanced Development Projects. Skunk Works is responsible for a number of famous aircraft designs, including the U-2, the SR-71 Blackbird, the F-117 Nighthawk, and the F-22 Raptor. Its largest current project is the F-35 Lightning II

I believe the FSX version of this plane has not been uploaded to SimV... I'll try to find the link again.

EDIT2: it WAS in simV

Thanks all! The Luscombe definitely felt right for the area! Had fun flying around there nice and slow.

Daube, yea... the vc while pretty nice... does seem dark. Not sure why. Maybe the real one is that way?

Strawberry... the 747 is from Posky... its their 747-8F to be exact. And the paint was recently released from a member at FSPro. I know Brandon was working on one as well. Paint can be found here;
