Where losers are heroes

As you probably know, the Dutch soccer team lost the World Cup final, even though they tried to kill a few members of the Spanish team.

Nevertheless, when they returned to Holland, they were welcomed like heroes.

From the moment it entered Dutch airspace, the KLM 777 carrying the team was escorted by the all orange F-16 of the RNLAF Solo Display

These are my first shots using FSrecorder. I hope you like them, and C&C is always appreciated.

FSWC -Though it looks like I set the water a little too bright.
NL2000 3d objects -I didn't install the photoreal, but NL2000 has a relatively small module that adds a lot of landmarks in default scenery.

OK, I'll pay attention to that, cheers.
As for #2, I guess that's optical illusion, I remember I just strayed a bit high on that one.

[color=#000000]Not being a soccer fan, and failing to click on the links at the top, I did not realize you were re-creating an actual event. Great video.

Hehe, cheers again.

I had another go at it just now, trying to follow your advice patchz.
Anybody else notice a slight improvement?
