Hey guys,

Thought I would post these two together.

The MD-11 is from IFDG and the typical F-16 Viper from Kirk. Both great works of art.

Some day I would like to learn how to master GMAX and give FS modeling a go. Perhaps painting might be a good first step.

Thanks a bunch for all of the compliments for my previous postings.

Good day,

WOW!  the f16 one is stunning and the MD11 one is quite clever!  You just keep outdoing yourself, gus!

These are great! Your editing skills are amazing  :o

I love that 16

Amazing. Nice editing Gus

Great job Gus, that MD-11 is amazing, did you edit the f-16 picture in anyway except for the text?

Cheers
Jeff

Is that F16 even a screenie - I mean WOW

Thanx. Carl

Both are excellent images....what scenary is that in the first shot?

Hey guys,
The MD-11 is from IFDG....

Just want to point out that the MD-11 was made by Albaro in FSDS2.4, not Gmax. Dunno why everybody assumes it's a gmax bird. We also did the A32X series in FSDS.

Nice shots BTW!  ;D

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

Nice
