A shot of the ablatross that everyone's talking about at BFU's quebec scenery. A bit of a tight fit in the hangar. :P

Nice shot. The water looks really calm.

Not too bad, mainly because you have a Tross in there. But you should really do something about your water textures.
Or are they part of that scenery which looks really nice by the way ;)

Another point of criticism: try lowering the camera so that you're nearly flush with the water. This way you'll get a really interesting perspective that looks really impressive. You not only get to see the plane from a really cool angle, but you can also create some nice clouds and skies. And also, that way you don't have so much blue in the shot which makes it look too massive ...

Look at this one and this one for an example on what I mean ;)
These examples are scenery shots and do not feature the aircraft I am flying in, but I think you'll get my point ;)

I think Waterzone is very nice but to blue, to much of a tropical feel. The envmaps are nice but for texturing I would suggest using Real Environment Pro. Try mixing textures and envmaps and also oceanhights ... I'm sure it will give a satisfactory result ...
