My first transatlantic flight!

Took me two years before I finally did one ;D

Aircraft is the Project Opensky Boeing 777-200ER "Chelsea Rose" repainted aircraft. Everything else default except FSWC. Sorry again for no clouds, but clouds send me to a stuttering 8-9 FPS. All the settings (mesh, water) aren't turned completely up either because that caused me to lag. (But hey.. I have like 200 AI aircraft in one area.. please! :-? First there's a looong line of A300s, a few A310s, alot of A319s and A320s, a few A330s and then some A340s, and then come all those Boeings and Embraers.. :o)

But enough talk, to the screenies!

Sorry about this one being blurry and zoomed out of the aircraft, was focusing on the sunset, which I think I got very nice:

Now, I cut out a little more of this screenie because it was just all blue sky.. caught this while I was a little from halfway over the "little river":

8-) And while looking for Philadelphia Intl on my ATC box and watching AI aircraft takeoff and land, I got this one: (name 3 and 5)

And last, but not least:

Four AI pilots trying to kill each other - and the passengers too. :-X

Hope you enjoyed, advice welcome!

And in the last one, I didn't turn off the red text to show how close they were. ;D

Yes, you should definitely turn the red text OFF ;)
For the first shot, you should have been much closer to the plane. I understand that you wanted to emphasize on the sunset, but you could do it as well by choosing the right angle of view that would show the aircraft details as well as the sunset in the background ! Finding the correct angle of view is 80% of the job for getting nice screenshots, you need to train ! :)

I like the sun set but indeed you could've zoomed in on the plane a little more and still have a nice view.

I like the water reflection though ...

Advice, all of the above. I would take those suggestions seriously. You have much to learn about screen shots. I do too still, but I've improved alot from these guys advice.
