Anachronism

[Zaku]

An F/A-46C of Strike Fighter Squadron 86 on its first deployment after the squadron's transition from F/A-18Cs prepares to for a catshot on the USS Nimitz during the carrier's last cruise.

Straits of Malacca, 2019

Nice lighting. Good luck

Great shot. Much better than mine.

99% positive that is a REX sky though

[FoxThree]

Awesome shot. 8-)

Gorgeous shot, but the cloud textures at least do look like REX which isn't allowed. If it's not REX then I think you're on to a winner! Really nice!

[Zaku]

I'm not sure where the clouds come from; I copied over environment files from my last installation after formatting my hard drive.  I know my water is REX, but I think I may have overwritten the clouds with one of the freeware packs here. 

Anyway, environment addons aren't allowed?  Kind of annoying since they're a pain to uninstall and reinstall.

Oh hay man! Glad to see you here!  8-)

Everyone, this is the guy who made the textures for many of my planes, including the S-46 Orca/Blackfish and the F-22 Raptor! 

[G.K.]

Very nice shot indeed, well done.

How did you achieve the 1024 x 413 format?

[Zaku]

It's just cropped and resized to fit the file limit here.  Originally was 1920x1080. 

Anyway, those probably are REX clouds, guess I'm out.

The rules don't even allow cropping.

No cropping, editing or adjusting your shot!! Any images over 155 kb in weight, and wider than 1024 will not be VALID!  This rule is now being enforced since This is a Screenshot Contest and we "want to see the RAW shot!" All entries must be uploaded to SimV.

It's a shame because it's a really great shot.
