One more thing, no more real life burning plane pictures please.  Makes me uneasy to see em.  Gives me a guilt feeling.
I was looking at the photo of the B-24 that is breaking up and thinking of the last moments of life those guys had.  Of being a waist gunner or ball turret gunner on that ship. Reality is not a game at all.

There was at least one survivor out of that B-24, Nav or Bombadier IIRC.

Without looking at the image again.... my mind told me that the dark figures slightly below and off to the side were crewmembers that had ejected.  You are so right though, in real life these guys had to unstrap, sometimes crawl to the bomb bay and jump.  That is nothing at all like hitting enter 3 times in a row.

USRanger,

Good information about how the graphic is made.  I would love to be able to do what you do.  What amazes me is that it took 10 minutes for you to change 15 bmp files and save them..... it takes me twice that long to drool and look at the first image I attempted to change  :huh

Agreed, more realistic effects are needed in the Aces High.

Realistic flames, deep grass, vapor trails, contrails... ;)
