Rip this...

The following picture is my entry for the October screenshot contest. You will find an explanation of the various concepts and ideas I used, as well as links to the add-ons I used, here

Be merciless. I can (probably) take it! ;D

I don't understand. If this shot is to be ripped then it will be done in the October screenshot contest. A suggestion would be to do what PD87 does. Show us a shot that you rejected for the contest. Then we'll be unmerciless ;D

A little more lighting on the plane would have been nice.

I thought that if I made a point of putting it in a rip this, then I'd get some rip-this-style (read harsh but constructive) critique, which you don't tend to get anywhere else.

I'll post some of my rejects later on in this thread, though. ;)

Because you asked.. ;) The mist is by far the best visual element in this pic. Creates a nice mood. I find there's not enough going on, either in the autogen (scenery), the weather (mist excluded) or the aircraft. Drama and visual impact are missing, the aircraft is at a precarious and somewhat unrealistic angle and doesn't show any

What Clipper said. ;D


The piece of default FS ground texture is really bothering me. If that was covered up by a thin piece of fog or something the shout would be great. Also a bit more depth into the plane would be nice. ;)
