Ok, as some of you know i was out of Ah for 7 months, during that 7 months, i had to get a new computer. Just before i left, someone was making really really nice Ah backgrounds for the computer. If i remember right, there were corsairs and such. If anyone could tell me where i can find them again, it would be grea!!

that one is really nasty, very messy, but people are saying that they love it, so i'm thinking of re-doing it with cleaner cutting, better perspective and lighting, and adding some nice big props

Thanks for posting those screenies Jack, I didn't have some of them.

Biggles if YOU say that corsair at dawn is sloppy then not sloppy it must look spectacular (had to spell check that word

).

btw I'm using "Warm Welcome" as my home computer background and the P-47 for my school computer. Very nice ones.

lol, look at it, it looks nasty! hmm, perhaps i'll try and update that one tonight.

what i really want to do is get myself a graphics tablets and actually start doing some real ART instead of just cut+paste jobs. i need to learn how to use photoshop properly too...

Here's a link to some real warbird pictures turned into calendars for use in backgrounds. New ones each month. You can use the top navigation to find raw pictures as well.

Biggles, how do you get that kind of resolution out of the game? Getting ready to build a new rig..and I want AH to look like that.

His looks about what mine would look like with a little photo editing. I dunno why, but I think all the components in my computer love each other or something because nobody says I should get the performance I do with these specs.

3.06GHz Pentium 4 Northwood Core
Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS
XFX GeForce 6800 unlocked to 6800GT
SATA 200GB Hard Drive
4x512 GB DDR40 PC3200 Dual Channel Corsair ValueRAM (Matching sticks)
Everything but skins preloaded (sometimes I preload them if I feel like waiting for it), full quality slider settings in-game, 4xFSAA and VSync on.
