Now you're badgering me.
What is this about. Why have you chosen me to be your little experiment?
No I was not a studio musician. I made records and have been in bands since I was very young. I also owned my own studio in L.A. I composed, played and produced my own music.

And you completely misunderstood the meaning of "leaving it at the door" and I mean completely in fact so completely that it is unreal.
I never said it was easy to criticize. I said I don't like to do it.
and your last post shows why.
If you would have read what I wrote (instead of focusing on graininess which isn't even there.......... Dave can't see it and he's your hero).
The post about the Tiger Moth is dealing with a place called Santa Barbara in California and the flight over that area shows the high level of accuracy in FSX. Plus the enclosed cockpit of the D***N plane.
Look at the coastal shot off the tailplane. LOOK AT IT. Do you have any idea of perspective or position or lighting. LOOK AT IT. Study it learn from it.
And any opinion you have about its story line is just sniping at me.
The location of your shots is completely and blandly generic. It could be anywhere or nowhere.
But that is just part of what's wrong.
The QUESTION IS ONE OF PURPOSE was it the plane, the scenery, the weather,the lighting. WHAT

You haven't answered one thing I said. You just keep picking out what you want (we're the same, the story is the same) and reject all the rest of the criticisms. ( By the way that's a hint on how to take better screenshots)
Go ask Dave or Andy to help you if you love them so much. THEY ARE THE BEST NOT ME. They are nice and mild and pleasant and more talented. Forget that Dave or others did my service.......... everyone else here ignores that point why shouldn't you.
I'm sure they would be glad to talk to you and it won't cost you a cent.
Get a book on photography and study lighting than apply it to digital art.
You want my best advice well here it is. Read what I said in my criticism and reverse every single thing you did wrong, don't question anything I said, don't whine, don't compare what you did to my shots.
Just do it !!!!!!
At first I thought you could take the criticism but now I see you starting to be passive-agressive.
I don't have any more time for this and it ends here.
P.S. I don't think you really want my wife to be involved in this. She makes me look like the calmest nicest person on the face of the earth.
I would be asked to leave Simviation if I were to repeat what she said about you seeing graininess and even though I didn't think she could come up with more it got worse when she saw the last post and the comment about the story-lines. LOL
By the way she's the one with the skirt in the poster.
