Well as some of you might know, a big part of aviation that has always been my passion, is aviation photography. For years I have visited airports and taken pictures of the aircrafts taking off and landing. When in the plane, I would always manage to get up front and take a picture of the cockpit. I have a ton of gear and always looking for different points of perspective.
Only about a year ago I started to snap shots in the Sim, but was never really happy with the "quality" of the pictures. Part of the reason being that in order to have a quality shot, it had to look real and as many of you know that required all of your settings in FS2K2 to be at their maximum which many of us only wished for!
Many of us who visit the "Graphic" forums have come to know a guy we refer to as RAMSA329. His shots have always impressed me as to how real everything looked. From the scenery to the aircraft, this was the type of Quality I was used to!! It was time to contact him.
I would like to extend my Thanks to Ramsa for his time spent with me. He spent a few nights "in" my pc and has turned it into a whole different machine. The learning experience about drivers and settings and my PC in general, has made the graphic side of FS2K2 an area that I can now really understand and appreciate. He was extremely patient, informative and had the answers to all my questions. All of this for a small donation from me. We are still working together to do some final "tweaking" but I wanted to get some pictures out since I have not "taken" any in a while. Thanks again Michael for all your help. You have made Flight Simulator 2002, "As Real As It Gets"!!

I have posted a total of SIX threads. 757's, L10-11's, swiss Air, 727's, TWA and a 707. Let me know what you think. Thanks guys and if you want alot more out of your Sim, click on Ramsa's link unter my "sig" at bottom of thread!

Looks like I need to talk to Ramsa!!! :o I just finished looking at all of your pics and they are incredible! What kind of system specs do you have and are all of the sliders maxed out? If they are then I know i can't be helped because my FPS already suffer where they're at. Awesome shots!!!

Thank you Andrew. I got it a GJsmith's site. http://www.gjsmith.net/Textures/b707.htm
It used to be free, but now with his new site, he is asking for donations.

Thanks Ken but I did not edit anything. I guess the realism of the shots are starting to have their effect!! LOL. Just wondering: what do you see that makes you think it is an edit?

Thank you Justin. Yes, all sliders are maxed out. I am still fine tuning the system. Believe it or not, my system is 2 years old. It is what Ramsa offers and does that makes the difference!!
