Love the new SCA from POSKY. Here's a few shots from a flight:

Sorry about the labels. Quality is a little low too.

Great model and some nice coloring ... but I find the shots very repetitive and overcompressed.

Sorry about the labels. Quality is a little low too.

I think we talked about that right?

Its a nice model - wish the shuttle could be released however! Indeed nice settings, and the details are good.

How do you find flying it? I did a few circuits in it round fairford, and although ive no idea what it must be like to fly the real thing, it seemed like flying any other 747, although i imagine it must be somewhat different with having a shuttle on its back?

Or do the weights of the shuttle plus the lift it must generate negate having cargo and passengers so therefore there would be no discernable difference?

Or is it somthing impossible to model, and im way to picky on this item ;D And should shut up :)

It does fly nicely though!

I tested to see if you could release it. It was followed by a "darn it." To see if it handles differently, you could change the payload to zero.

We did?  :-? I don't remember you saying anything about picture quality. What were your thoughts on the shots?

Yes we did. In the PM we talked about compression, composition, lighting and such.

Anyways, I already gave my feedback on the shots earlier.

Maybe it is a good thing to read that PM again ...

No ... apart from being unrealistic (but you could get away with that) I still think your shots lack anti aliasing and are compressed too much.

And the pause message is visible ... I don't understand that you didn't crop that out.

Like I explained to EchoLeader Wolf, if you can't get a proper weight/quality ratio, then cropping is a good option. I would rather

That last one was done in like 5 minutes as a joke for OVERLORD_CHRIS, so it didn't have to be good.
