Douglas DC-3 & My 3rd set of screenshots

Postby Xyn_Air » Mon Aug 20, 2007 6:30 pm

Pictures (with short descriptions above each) first, rambling after.

A DC-3 flies in the dawn sky above the mountains of western Washington.

The DC-3 rises above the clouds as it chases the dawn light.

As dawn turns to day, the DC-3's livery comes into detail.

Later in the day, the DC-3 passes in front of the moon as it turns towards the sunset.

The rays of the setting sun guide the DC-3 towards dusk.

As a disclaimer, I just wanted to state that I am not trying enter the monthly screenshot contest with these screenshots.  I was unsure if this forum was ear-marked for that purpose or not, as it seems some of the contest entries are in this same forum.

Unlike my previous set of screenshots of the Mitsubishi A6M2 Zero, I made these images a little bit larger, to the full permittable size to be exact (800 pixels wide).  Unfortunately, I am not sure I am as happy with these larger images over the smaller ones I made previously as, due to continued issues with compression and quality of the original graphics, there are too many jagged edges for my taste.

The DC-3 itself is the default DC-3 for FS2004, but because I figured I wasn't having enough problems as it was, I decided to do my own repaint for it.  This is the first Xyn Air liveried aircraft that I have done.  It probably is a case of trying to do too much at once (learning how to do screenshots and learning how to do repaints), but I had a lot of time last night as I could not get to sleep.

Well, rambling over.  Comments welcome.

The contest entries in this forum are disqualified shots, don't worry ;)

They are nice.  Of course they can be improved, but hey, everyones can be better!  The first thing I would suggest you do is get the recorder module to get more interesting angles.
