With the release of the 3 livery set 'posky_b744_corsairfly_f-gtui.zip' on avsim yesterday...
This shot took me a good five minutes to set up, and now I look at the comparison, I realise the angle is far from perfect, plus the windsock isn't flying- oh well, was a good bit of Wednesday evening fun all the same

Andrew ... .. hecks ! would 'not' love to live on this Beach! maybe a 'job' to explain aircraft types or best spot for a thrill

[Ian Warren]

Not quite the same terrain , The actual photo is over South Canterbury looking back on Banks Peninsular and the plain,s

The Spitfire difference between a Mk16 and the MK9 is the gun arrangement and engine manufacture , 16 being the Packard Merlin

and of course the need to change the paint scheme

[Charl]

Now that is flight simulation.
You nailed it, down to the reflection on the spinner.
Beautifully done Ian

[AlisterC]

Brilliant Ian!

[Charl]

That Conroy fella again...
Gavin I assume you're OK with me re-using the image on the forum...?
Drove me to dig out the ALPHA Harvard and transplant the SAAF paint onto my FS9 model.
As Jenks pointed out originally, ALPHA made the wing a little thick..still one of my favourite flyers though.



Edit: Forgot to turn the pilot's head...all my other shots did...Aargh

[Ian Warren]

Perrrfect Just needs the Gavin seal of Approval

to finish .. had a yak attack over Wiggy today

Edit Edit :Forgot to turn the pilot's head...all my other shots did...Aargh

Just watching for those Yaks

[AlisterC]

Very nice guys Those warbirds look great!

[Daniel]

Great Comparison Charl

[Ian Warren]

Its times like this i wish I had Active Cam , now i'm sure i will directed to the next best thing for FSX , close enough same aircraft ,same airport ,different day

[Charl]

Here you are, grizzing about framing...
Omigosh - it's the bottom one that's the real one!
OK Ian, perhaps a little discussion on the production of this little piece?

[Chairman]

I was going to post this as a new message when suddenly I remembered we have a thread for it. FS9 with a nice tight mesh but otherwise default. Plane is the MAAM dc3.

Cheers
Gary

p.s. Bump

[Charl]

Well now, that certainly is a different take on the theme!
I know the bottom one is not real, because it says"G**gle" in the bottom RH corner!
And the top one looks very much like Flight Simulator!
So I went and looked on GE, and found mine did not have a Dak in it.
So you must have the Real Version!

[brownbox]

[Ian Warren]

You just kindly ask the people to step in the screen ...... Nah nah , just being a smart ass you simply need a photo edit program (photoshop example) zoom in , cut around the required detail copy , paste , scaling will be certain to get it right and Whola ! thats it

[Timmo]

Thread revive!
Amongst the many GB of data I gathered for the VLC project, I also took a few snaps from various trips within NZ- These were a good way to ensure that the various rules/algorithms I had written to 'colour' the FSX world actually looked like what was there in real life (especially for parts of the country that I'm not as familiar with)

So here is a couple of shots near Timaru- One from the plane, one in sim using VLC





Cheers

[ZK-MAT]

Now that's the sort of thing that needs to be shown in a VLC movie... wipe from one to the other to show it's realism
