So....

Its me again... constantly on the quest to be supremely unique... coming up every month I participate with something never seen before... never yielding to the advice of others when they say "Keep It Simple Stupid" ;D

...

So this month I've arrived again with something I much think that hasn't been emulated on the SimV Arena.... (please correct me if I'm wrong, I'll stand corrected)...

A KC-130 fuel tanker poised to refuel a Sikorsky MH-53M Pavelow IV before the exfilitration of those brave soldiers deep in the Colombian jungles on an anti-drug black op. Judgment looms for those who stand in the way of eradicating a clear and present danger.

PLEASE.... I BEG of thee... leave comments...

and visit my rejects here... and leave comments there too...

Can't say I've ever seen it before. Nice shot and good luck!

Very nice! Great idea and the scenery looks fantastic

Only negative point would be the rotor blades look stationary!

Thanks guys! Keep 'em coming!

My screen capture program has an insanely fast shutter speed.

Actually I had to use slew extensively and tweek my recording of the helo to make this shot... that was the side-effect.... but shhh.... don't tell nobody....

Ooh ... that is creative, but do they actually do that?
I like the mood in this shot; going from jade to purple ... very spooky!
Good luck in the contest Mouse!

This is quite a nice shot. Graphics aren't...exactly what I would call "best in the world" on the KC, but nontheless a good shot. Lovely colours. ;)

this shot really proves dedication, Mouse Ace!

Besides being a good shot (by my standars, anyway), the story is great. Incredible shot there!

Good luck

Another great entry from you useing the recorder module, shame about the rotors....

nice, i should learn how to use the recorder module. Does it work in FSX?

There

Thanks Kip... Yes, they really do... I believe the converted Hercules is the only method for refueling helo's...

Thnx to you too AN-225, although I don't see whats that bad with the graphics on it, not complaining about your comment though, but in case you were wondering, its an old 2000 model; quite possibly the only functioning KC with refueling drogues...

...but FS goes down when I set it up, multiple aircraft over some intensive scenery....

In case you were talking about FS crashing with Recorder, it may be a bug (work-around available: PM me) with playing back helo's as AI and not because of scenery...

Thanks for the comments guys! Truly appreciate the warmth... Keep 'em coming!

Nice...seems like a dangerous thing to do...what if the blades hit the fuel line

.

Gabe, the Pavelow makes a quick 180, and starts flying backwards, so the drogue can fill the cargo bay with fuel. ;D

I think it

I think to remember a clip where something similar happened..
The Pawelow chopped it's own fuel line (the one stuck on the chopper), because he tilted the rotors downwards, to fly upwards..
