Well guys, i guess youve been waiting with baited breath for the Tomcat to appear a la F.S.X. chez todayshorse......or maybe you havent Cheesy

Well anyway, heres a few i took whilst checking out this fantastic FSX F-14. Oh yes, fantastic. Fan-tastic. Fan-daby-dozy. Fabulous. F-A-N-T-A-S-T-I-C. Cheesy

More to come i guess, now i have some carriers, but anyway, enjoy Wink

Thanks for looking. The pattern is full.

Er....i use FS Water ~~Confibulator~~ Configurator, i forget which setting. I have all the sliders on the left hand side of the FSX settings screen (mesh, and all that) on full, including water. Its not so good close up however! A bit of distance and its stunning Wink

My main concern is however the sky. I cant quite get that hazy foggy look in the distance like i could with Fs9 which made it look so real... Sad

Even at its lowest, 60nm is too far in my opinion

I guess i need to play with the weather a bit more

Put Visibility at about 10 Miles. I'm about to post a hawaiin tour photo thingy in the screenshoty showcase so you can see what it turns out like. Not too foggy, not to far-seeing, and it boosts framerates like a dream.

The water waves/reflections look like default.
What make the water look so good is the photorealistic texture below those waves. And if I'm not misaken, this is the bay right next to Bowerman airport, in the freeware OrbX PNW demo.

Great shots, I can't decide which one I prefer between the last two ! Shocked

Got bloom ?
Got mountains ?
Got damage ?

In a word, "breathtaking". Simply amazing photo-real screenies. It is difficult to find such detail at any price. Thanks for sharing both the images as well as the link. Aces all around mate............. Ziggy
