Help and advice from far too many Simviation members to name

Think many of you bugsmasher drivers will enjoy this little aircraft and the scenery.

The sign say's it all....


Truck must have got a "Hold Short" from the Ground Controller...


Tried to show a little scenery during take-off.


Hope you enjoyed.   ;)

Comments and advice most welcome.

[color=#000000]Nice Doug, now that the pics finally show up. Server must have been down for maintenance. Love that old barn.

Hi Doug !

I just saw those screenshots. You keep getting better, as far as I can see

The first shot is a classic, but a good classic. Your choice of plane is excellent, it's a cool one and it suits well to the scenery. The shot itself is, for me, one of the most difficult to take, because the ideal angle of view seems quite obvious at first, but then you always find yourself struggling to include enough details and exclude enough "useless" parts of the pictures. For example here, perhaps it would have been good to place the plane a little bit more down in the shot, so that the bottom of the picture would not contain only plain ground.

... But in fact, as it is, the shot is already quite pleasant.


The second shot I have almost nothing to say. It's really nice andd original. The only "bad" point is that the scenery is not so rich in term of quantity of details. But the angle of view and the idea itself are really cool.

The third shot is almost perfect to me. I simply don't see what could be done better in it. The background is detailled, the sky is great, the plane is nice and the angle of view is original. I really like this one

Good morning all...

Thanks Larry I am starting to find some small strips with a little detail in the Freeware Scenery Download Section here at Simviation.   :)

Good morning Daube...

Thanks for the quick return PM and glad to hear your back in the air.  You certainly do like to travel...awesome...

As always Stephane your advice and comments are appreciated and I am sure others learn from my mistakes and this helps everyone.

I am still trying to find that ideal angle when doing a ground shot of the front of the aircraft. 
Too much detail and you lose the topic which is the aircraft and not enough detail and the picture is boring.   

Again thanks....

Those trees at the end look like a challenge - suppose it looked just as bad the other way.  Seems to be a requirement for FS airports  .

Thanks for looking and the comments all...

The top one is 99% excellent. The one small failing is the jaggies in the N-number on the wing. Other than that, it's an eye-popper...

Thanks "hhomebrewer"
