I think some AA would help the shots more.
Interesting subjects none the less.

AA stands for Anti-Aliasing. ;)

It makes the FSX graphics quality better.

And if you can't run Anti-Alias without a large FPS reduction you can turn your settings up for screenshots then turn them down for flying. ;)

In flight go to Options then Settings & click display & fiddle with the settings.  :)

Along with Mike, I especially like the simple composition and implied motion of the first shot.

It's called the Boeing 797 Blended Wing Body, currently just fictional. Here is the link:

The bottom one is the one, FSX version is linked.
btw, I have yet to have found a gate with a 200meter diameter

I believe that, although it is indeed fictionnal (today), the Boeing Blended wing was a real study from Boeing. They were trying to define a new aircraft shape that could cary more passengers and more fuel, something like that.

On a side note, this plane has been made by Lionheart from SimOuthouse (I can never remember his real name  :-[ ), for testing a new modelling technique in FS9, in which the maximum number of polygon per 3D object has been increased to virtually unlimited like FSX. The same technique was used to model that red Stearman (the one with a roof over the pilot) that appeared some months ago... a plane that litterally destroyed my FPS in FSX.

How did that Boeing performed, in terms of smoothness ?

Ah yes, William Ortis ! Thanks for the reminder.
This guys has made some excellent payware stuff as well, one of them being a classic prop plane, the Skylark, and I've been hesitating to buy it for a while...
