Wow, 8 replies already. Thanks a bunch for the compliments.
I just mentioned GMAX because I have that program sitting in my HD. I might consider purchasing FSDS to learn how to design and "build" aircraft for FS.
On the F-16 I just did an auto level adjustment to correct the contrast and colors to my liking. I have an HP mx703 monitor which has too much contrast so it's hard to gauge what the images will look like on other monitors. I reduced the picture, sharpened, and then faded the sharpening to provide a cleaner effect. Too much sharpening is not very good.
One technique I use is to adjust the view options for the spot view. A lower zoom number will give you a wide angle lens effect just as with camera lenses. Objects in the background will appear further away. The reverse is also true. You probably know that.
Again with the F-16 that's the default FS2002 scenery for Nepal. Go to Tribhuvan International (VNKT) and depart from rwy 2. Climb on a heading of 021 and you'll see the mountains directly in front of you. You won't see a NG F-16 in that region but it's a great place to practice some low-level and high altitude sim flights.
Thanks again!
Cheers,
Gus
