Thanks to Lyric1 for finding me the info for this skin.

This C-47A was used by the 90th Bomb Group as a transport aircraft and carried the group's distinctive "skull and cross bombs" tail art. The 90th flew B-24s throughout the Pacific theatre. In 1942 they operated from Australia, bombing targets in New Guinea. Later they moved to the Philippines and then China.

Beautiful work, this is sure to be popular in the MA.

Greebo, you mentioned when you set up screen shots you change the default field of view.  What setting do you use?  My monitor is 1680x1050, and the auto field of view sets at 100 degrees.  I've tried other settings but not sure which way to go to eliminate the "fisheye" lens effect that can occur in screen shots.

Thanks!

Thanks guys, glad you like it.

Oboe, I use Auto set field of view too, in my case I it is set to 1920 x 1080 res and the FoV is 106 degrees. I don't change this setting when taking screenshots, in external view I just hit the the zoom view key ("Z" on my keyboard) to narrow the FoV.

For GV screenshots I occasionally go to the gunner's position, then to external view/zoom, this really brings the distant background objects in a lot closer.

For bomber screenshots I'll often move to a gunner's position closer to the centre of the aircraft as it frames the shot better and I can rotate the turret to alter the angle.
