Just a ranodm screenshot

Here's a nice little picture I found when going through a bunch of old files on my computer.

There's nothing special about it in particular---it's just the defult 747-400 in the Soar Airlines livery, but I remember taking it because of it's increadible beauty. It doesn't quite look as good after being resized and everything to fit this page, but still, the sun is just amazing! It looks like an open door through which God Himself is about to emerge! This was at high noon too! (I was flying over Northeren Canada) The sky is filled with great colors especialy since the aurora borealis is visible in the top left corner. A few stars are still out, there are some nice clouds below, and you can just make out the many lakes covering the ground. The color of the aircraft goes perfectly with everthing else, the lens flare is in just the right spot, and even the plane's positive pitch adds something to the picture. This is probably one of the best shots I'll ever take and is right now being used as the wall paper for my desktop.

I hope you enjoy this picture as much as I have!

One more thing, I remember seeing on this flight what I thought to be a shooting star. At first I though my eyes were deceiving me untill I looked in the effects folder and saw that there actually were shooting star effects. Have any of you ever seen any meteors in Flight Simulator?

Happy Flying,
SomeGuy
