Douglas DC-3 & My 3rd set of screenshots
Posted: Mon Aug 20, 2007 6:30 pmPictures (with short descriptions above each) first, rambling after.
As a disclaimer, I just wanted to state that I am not trying enter the monthly screenshot contest with these screenshots. I was unsure if this forum was ear-marked for that purpose or not, as it seems some of the contest entries are in this same forum.
Unlike my previous set of screenshots of the Mitsubishi A6M2 Zero, I made these images a little bit larger, to the full permittable size to be exact (800 pixels wide). Unfortunately, I am not sure I am as happy with these larger images over the smaller ones I made previously as, due to continued issues with compression and quality of the original graphics, there are too many jagged edges for my taste.
The DC-3 itself is the default DC-3 for FS2004, but because I figured I wasn't having enough problems as it was, I decided to do my own repaint for it. This is the first Xyn Air liveried aircraft that I have done. It probably is a case of trying to do too much at once (learning how to do screenshots and learning how to do repaints), but I had a lot of time last night as I could not get to sleep.
Well, rambling over. Comments welcome.

A DC-3 flies in the dawn sky above the mountains of western Washington.
The DC-3 rises above the clouds as it chases the dawn light.
As dawn turns to day, the DC-3's livery comes into detail.
Later in the day, the DC-3 passes in front of the moon as it turns towards the sunset.
The rays of the setting sun guide the DC-3 towards dusk.
