Firing up the sunset gun

Postby FridayChild » Sat Jan 29, 2005 7:46 pm

Here are some screenshots of a Miami Intl-Orlando Intl flight I made with my custom-painted fantasy Boeing 737-800 Italink I-FRAN, at my favourite time of the day (sunset).
Please forgive any mistake (it's my first attempt as a simphotographer) and the low resolution: mine is a very old PC with a very old graphic card but maybe some of these shots are...  worth a shot even though reducing them made them somehow darker. Simulator=FS98, default scenery. Aircraft is a repainted freeware.
PS: I REALLY really apologise if I have accidentally overwritten someone's images with my silly file names... at first I didn't quite get the upload procedure... I promise I'll pay more attention in the future!  :-[

Don't worry to much. They say practice makes perfect...  ;)

I wish that night lighting was better in FS98; in the dark you can't see a darn thing.
"Welcome to the airport... turn off the runway at the first available taxyway and hold"... easier said than done!

Keep up the neat series. :) Sometimes every story tells a picture! Know what I mean? About the perpetually full moon.... Ever hear any howling coming from the cabin? ;D

I never noticed that. I'll ask my NFP, Mr. Wolf.

"Werewolf."
"Where?"
"There."
