Brighter!  They are dark, which is usually a nono.  Also try zooming in on the plane a little more

I agree with Jake, they're somewhat dark. As well, if you have a close look at the last pic, it seems to draw you into it. The great composition makes it easy for the viewer to relate to.

another point is the flatness of the scenery. you may look for some meshes, unless you were flying over a really flat place.

but usually some "humps" make pics better looking...  ;)

Yup brighten up a bit (LOL...no pun intended :P ).  As Clip said, that last one pulls you into it...which is what you want when composing a shot that is zoomed out.  In general, though, I would say zoom in much more, especially if the scenery isn't outstanding.

thanks for all the suggestions guys.

great edit clip!

will work on brightness and zoom, although that is a really flat area.

I sharpen all my pics, otherwise they are blurry as hell, so you might want to try taht.

Very important:
Tun on your wing lights! This adds very much detail and realism to you shots.

The clouds are great, and the quality is not bad either, but you might want to try some Anitostropic Filteringandtheremycorrectspellingwent... :P


As for the plane, yes zoom in a bit more, for this use F1View, with this you can go each and every direction in your VC and zoom in onto your plane.(if you don't already have it.....)


Hope my 2 cents helped :)

PS: Go with some sick angles! Use Recorder or if you want it easy buy W&F! Get handy with it and you'll make great shots! :)

Okay - I like the last, attractive pic it is, the others are dark and the plane is nearly lost against the background. I would close in on the plane so you can see it in all it's glory, and experiment a bit with F1 to distort/fisheye them just a tad, to take advantage of their marvellous shapes.
