it's the angle ( and the contrast/brightness of pic), I can make out the left horizontal stabilizer/elevator overlaying the left wing............

nice pic Biggles........

thanks for the comments all

glad you like it

i'm a total noob at this, but i just signed up at screenshotart.com and some of the guys there have already kindly given me some tips. have started on a pony diving through the clouds now

this is quite addictive getting it right actually lol, i can see this being a lot of fun

next i'll have to figure out how to put some real formations in the pic

if anyone ever feels like starring in a picture, i could always use a few decent formation fliers

forgive my dumbness, but did you start with a screenshot and fix it up, or did you just insert planes into a background you created?

Major Biggles · « **Reply #22 on:** January 28, 2007, 01:41:16 PM »

stuck the planes on a backgorund lagger

i've been given a lot of tips by some guys at screenshotart.com which is awesome. i'm working on a pony vs 109K4 fight up in the clouds atm, trying to make it look good

Thanks, I have the corsair pic as my desktop background, and it's pretty sweet:aok

It would be a perfect desktop if the Corsairs were positioned off to the right...(So u wouldn't have to re-position your Windows clickables)

Major Biggles · « **Reply #25 on:** January 28, 2007, 02:28:05 PM »

this is by no means the final version btw

just testing things and learning how to do it

lagger86 · « **Reply #26 on:** January 28, 2007, 03:04:09 PM »

I downloaded that program, and it is really really cool!!!

Major Biggles · « **Reply #27 on:** January 28, 2007, 03:14:31 PM »

Nice pictures.

That reminds me of the fact that if there's one thing in AH that is technically, visually, and absolutely sub-par when compared to a variety of other games, its how they handle the water.

Frankly, the "animated water" option is a complete flop. I can't understand how such an aesthethically ugly display can take up so much system resource.

If there's room for improvement, its definately how the water is portrayed.
