Contest deliberations....or abominations!

Postby todayshorse » Wed Sep 21, 2011 7:10 pm

Greetings fellow screenshotters!!!!

I post these for your enjoyment, this is the famous helicopter that caused me so much grief. It still baffles me why they all appear to be by the same person but the one i really wanted to use didnt have that rotor blur effect working.

I desperately wanted to use the famous Navy 66 helo that did the apollo recoveries in some way, as you can see its other textured brothers work fine! I couldnt find a command module in its 'stable one' config, or any config, so that kinda killed off that idea....

The Navy 66 copter i faffed with till i couldnt find anything left to faff with, its not brilliant even after converting all the textures to 32bit.

I did like the yellow RAF version but found it to be a bit bland when on screen, not having any 'wow' factor.

So, as in the final shot, i found something else to fiddle with, and am pleased i did....this is one of about 4 differing angles ;)

Enjoy!

The last shot reminds me of the film "The Final Countdown".  Great movie! Even enjoyed the Tomcats vs The Zeros!

I love that last shot! If you like Sea Kings, may I suggest the one made by Virtavia. The blur effect in the rotor isnt the best but thats the best helo I could find...

Im not really into helicopters, i just wanted to use the Navy 66 for the contest......it was the rotor problem on it that got me into the yellow RAF version!

Id looked at the virtavia sea king, as its the old alphasim version that i read was released as freeware but can i find it? no, i couldnt! I guess they released the FSX sea king and retracted the freeware one :(

Thanks for the comments guys ;)
