Bombs falling nice, but if you were to decrease the brightness and add some more detail to it, it would be even better.

If you wanna start editing your pictures try using Film Viewer and GIMP/Photoshop.
To take pictures with film viewer, go into full screen and hit ALT+PrtSc (Someone correct me if I am wrong please).
Then when you open up GIMP/Photoshop hit CNTRL+V, to paste it onto a new paper.
You also must understand that all the fancy nice pictures you see around, those guys have been using GIMP/Photoshop for awhile, so they have become better at it. So don't get frustrated if your picture doesn't look as good as theirs on the first try.

Here is the link to something Jack whipped up, he is really good at editing pictures.

Thanks Amaazee :)

Yes, the sun in AH can sometimes be a pain when taking screen shots in the "looking up" position.
Like my buddy Amaazee said, use the film viewer to take a screen shot. It should have been installed with the game. The film viewer is good because you can pause the film and get an angle you'd like to use.

To make a film, get in your aircraft and hit Alt-R. You should see a little red "R" appear in the upper left of the screen. To finish making the film hit Alt-R again and a little window will appear in the center of your screen. Hit ok, or if you wish to rename it, do so then hit ok.
Now, open your film in the film viewer. Hit play until you get to a part you'd like to use and hit pause. Now play with the angles.
When you find a position you like, hit Full Screen and to take a picture it's just hit the "Prnt Scrn" button on your keyboard.

Now open up your Microsoft paint and paste it into there and save it.
Now the deal with Photoshop and Gimp... Photoshop is powerful photo editing software... It's not cheap either, so lets say it's so powerful, it will burn a hole in your wallet  :noid
Gimp on the other hand, is like a free version of Photoshop. It does enough stuff to edit your pictures.

If you need help with anything just ask me. BMathis is pretty good at editing pictures as well.

Go into Options>Arena Setup>You will find a wide variety of options you can choose from to change the Arena Settings.


Feel free to do what you want.

I don't think making it completely night time would help because the screenshot would be to dark. Try setting a time when the sun is not right above you
