Looks like just one shot is all anyone would ever need!

DANG that is a sharp looking girl!

Aie caramba! Great shot! How did you get all the shine on the paint? Are you using Direct X 10?

Thanks a lot for these excellent comments, gentlemen

The shiny texture has been obtained thanks to some explanations found on the A2A website. The technique is quite simple in fact:

1- first, you need to download a package from avsim, made by the famous Bananabob (Rob Rivera, author of some excellent photorealistic repaints for a LOT of planes). The package contains an alternative texture for the environment map (what is appearing in the reflections of your planes):
http://library.avsim.net/search.php?SearchTerm=alternate_globalenvtest.zip&CatID...
Do not follow the installation instructions, unless you are willing to go for a global test...

2- In this package, you'll find two DDS textures.

3- Take the texture nammed "GlobalEnvTest.dds", and copy-paste it inside the texture folder of the repaint that you want to see shining.

4- Rename that DDS file "Env.dds".

5- Start your sim

WOW

Awesome shot, Stephane.

"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"
