I am a big fan of V bombers. I personally think they have great lines and radical design. Anyway, I love the Vulcan and I hope it shows in those shots, enjoy! Wink

Fantastic! Which Vulcan is this please? I havent seen one this good, since i drove past our resident gate-guard, what, nearly every day - XM607 looms over the fence alongside the A15, literally two minutes from my home.

First shot is almost...almost like a photo. Top job

This Vulcan is made by IRIS.
The first one I ever saw was when I went over to England and I was visiting Coventry. We stopped by the air museum, and it was love at first sight Grin

Excellent shots of an excellent bird Pierre. Love #1 & #2.

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

Most people think that flying a plane is dangerous, except pilots because they know how easy it is.
Arguing with a pilot is like wrestling with a pig in the mud, after a while you begin to think the pig likes it.

Nice! #1 and #3 for me! how did you get the skies like that and what wate rdid you use in #3?

And is it just me, or does that white dot and black part under the nose end up looking like some sort of smiling airplane nose to anyone else?

It's actually just a design. Like how the VF-111 Sundowners Livery has jaws Cool

Thank you all for your nice comments!
I use REX 2 for clouds and water. The shallows in #3 are part of the ground scenery I used (Scilly Isles by Earth Simulations), and the great weather patterns I got with Active Sky Evolution which I think is a great way to boost the REX effect Cheesy

REX is great to replace cloud textures but the FSX weather engine is just too weak in my opinion so I decided to give it a boost with Active Sky Evolution.

Thanks
