Fabulous work, V.  The camera looks great.


Note: I was waiting for the troll to do his thing.  I got you.  ;)

Thanks, man.   All he does is make an <CENSORED> out of himself--and my PMs show people notice.   I have zero regard for him or anything he has to say.   It was nice and harmonious on this forum while he was gone though.

Thanks bud. 

I've already called him out for it.   I won't descend to his level again if I can help it.  If you haven't noticed yet I would not sweat it.   :cheers:

That metal looks just excellent.  Great job!

Interesting scheme too.   Just fascinating how real you made the camera lense mount appear.

I tend to agree with Semp, my mind blown by all the choices we have now.  I have started making a list of all the skins released in a batch, so I can make sure to take each up on at least one hop.

Thanks, bud.  I would have made the lenses more reflective but the tradeoff in shadow wasn't worth it.

It was nice seeing you in the MA yesterday.  Was a fun fight we were having against all those bad guys.  Too bad it happened right before the terrain change!

I wish Hitech could develop a way to scroll through the skins with the mouse rather than having to click on each one.   Just roll the mouse wheel or use the up/down arrow and the next skin automatically pops up in the hangar view.

Yeah, it would've been great to be able to continue that fight!

+1 on the scrolling idea.  I wish also that the hangar view was a front 3/4 view of the left side instead of the right.  Majority of the US skins at least, have nose art on the left side of the A/C.

Would also like walkaround external view in the hangar, like we have on the runway.   My hangar external view locks my position up in the ceiling rafters.

Indeed.  Wishlist it again.  Lol.

The camera was fun.   Devil and Greebo were real helpful on that one.

Good photos.    Thank you.   You're relentless!

How to explain all those kill markings is my next challenge.   I'll update it with those.
