I hope you don't mind a little constructive criticism. I think the image of the 262s you used for the final product is "off" a bit. They're way too fish-eyed, warped, in relation to their position in the final image. You see that when looking at something very close, not when it's in flight in the big wide open sky.

That put me off. Other than that I thought it was fairly nice.

Thank fellas :aok

And Krusty, I completely agree with you, but that is what I get when taking screenshots with the skin/movie viewer, which is another reason why I preferred using downloaded cut-outs ;) :P

Better to take them offline, as it gives you better control. Use the ZOOM command first, then zoom in after toggling zoom. That changes the FOV rather than the distance to camera.

Thanks for the tip Krusty :aok Good idea! The only problem is views f3 and f4 focus more on angles behind the aircraft. I need the f5 view to get all angles, but I can't zoom in close enough to get a good shot... Go figure lol

You know you can pan around once in F3 mode to get any angle you like?

F8 is pan mode, so hit F3, then F8, and use your keypad to adjust left, right, up, down, etc.

-Fixed engine flames
-added some heat blur
-Lowered the bottom 262 so it's not so close to the one above.
-Added vortices to second 262 to make it look like it's turning away

Looks really sweet, one thing though. The bottom of the top 262 should be darker.
