It's a great shot of the aircraft, that's for sure. Very clear, and very smooth edges.

As for the scenery, I think some clouds would have helped the shot alittle.

Also, the terrain is a little flat (flying over Indiana by chance :P )

All in all a good shot though.

Righto; there are some problems here (don't get me wrong, they're minor and easily fixable).

The main one is a 'phenomenon' known as laser-edge-horizon. Pretty self-explanatory; it is a completely straight horizon.

There are two ways to avoid it; one, reduce the visibility in the weather/user-defined weather/advanced weather/visibility tab, available by pressing Alt in-sim, and going to the 'world' drop-down menu.

two; simply use the advanced weather tab to create a cloud layer that'll mask the problem. This is often preferable as you still get the sun fully visible.

All-in-all, a nice shot, but there are things that could be done to make it even better! :D

P.S. I'd also recommend turning off lens flare in your in-sim display settings screen.

Maverick i know that number on that plane# 200. My dad flew it in vietnam. Sadly he got shot down in it and endured 8 months of the hanoi hilton. Thats a great shot
