Where's the tracers? By the way, if the right wingtip vortice is going to be that defined, the left one should be somewhat similar. The way it's setup now makes it appear as if the Spitfire has lots of lift on the right wing and a, "droop" effect on the left.

You might also position the aircraft a bit further to the bottom left of the screen, or move the bombers further towards the top-right of the screen. For if the wingtip vortices are still at the wingtips it means the pilot is still pulling the stick back, and at the plane's current position would indicate a pass over the bombers as opposed to the head-on pass.

Thnx for the reply Den. I'll try to fix the vortices.
He is supposed to be pulling out of a dive so I think he would have to pull the stick back  :P

And as for tracers... I've never tried tracers before. I'll see what I can do though.

Use a Spitfire that doesn't have invasion stripes.

I understand that, however I'd think the spitfire would want to take advantage of the frontal pass at the flight of bombers while there are no guns trained on him. And for such an occasion to work a few things have to get moved around. ;)

I will work on the P39 later. They don't have a cut-out for that so I have to try to take it from AH

Just for testing purposes. I believe if you take a film of the sortie for the purpose of taking the screen-shot that you can turn up the quality of the graphics through AH by moving the sliders to max quality then exiting AH. (Just have to make sure the cache rebuilds.) Afterward the film should run in high-quality and you can let that perfect angle render to get the high-quality shot.

Not only that, It has cannons!
Surely, the majority of spitfires during the battle of britain didn't have cannons and twin 50 cals. :rolleyes:

Otherwise, very nice. :aok

I dont know much about history when it comes to planes(like markings, ect.)...
I just took two planes and put them in an image...
I didn't have much choice either because these are downloaded cut-outs and not from AH

I bet you could create the same image with AH aircraft so that you have the proper markings and paint schemes.  For that matter, I was wondering about those Ju-88s: the nose section does not look authentic.

People here are history geeks and are going to notice every little detail, so don't take the criticism the wrong way. ;)

A word of caution, even if you had the same Spitfire with a different paint job it would not do.  It has two radiators, and I'm pretty sure the Spitfire Mk I only had one.  As pointed out above, the cannon armament is also not representative of the Mk I series (even if a few had them).  Lastly, from the lengthened nose of that Spit I'm guessing it's some kind of Griffon-engined variant, maybe a Mk XIV.
