Very nice ... I like this one a lot and I'm glad you took some advice ;)
However, I would've waited a little longer for the ground textures to load a bit more.

I think thats just my computer ;D

One of the valves wasnt working quite well as i flew round the island :'(

Actualy id heard you mention that before so when i was in 'capture mode' i sat and watched the textures load, going from a little blurry to nice and sharp.

Hmm might be a compression thing? I used that paint.net for this one rather than irfanview on the resize.  Thats as close to 150k as i could get it, with irfanview i can usualy get it a little closer.

Hitting the '+' key a couple of times and then the Backspace can some times work miracles ...

Or the other way around. Try Soui's tip too ;)

Yeah i did that, somthing i learnt from the 9dragons scenery, using zoom to sort the textures out. When some of its loaded ok and youve got the odd 'square' thats not 'caught up'.

I use zoom quite a bit both in spot mode and when using walk n follow to vary things.

Hmm.

I like this shot, and angle and scenery is nice  :).

Like Harold said, the blurry textures on the mountains could have been better, but you've already talked about that.
