According to some RAF staff (when I got to go in an E3 at Waddington) the radome can fit 3 or 4 people inside it. It's also interesting that shape makes it 'weightless' during flight as it produces as much lift as it weighs.


I do like the lights, I think it adds a slightly unique touch to the competition and the colours of the scenery are fab too.

Best of luck.

Great angle, lighting, and 3D lights to top it off!

How did tilt the camera?

It can......but crawling out the door and up those support pylons inflight was a bit of a challenge! :o ;D :o

In the [CameraDefinition.X] section of the aircraft.cfg.

Yes.

I was going to enter this pic into the Jan. screenshot competition last Wednesday, but I couldn't really post it before or during the H2H poll due to the need for anonymity.

And since you did not post it in forums, this should be an acceptable screenshot.

An excellent shot 8-)
