Just a few that Ive been tweaking in photoshop.......the learning curve is very steep.

No matter how many times i look at this , the more i see....i love that green tint on the canopy..

Tried to bring out the textures on that unpainted metal...kind of a gloomy shot though.

Looking for that ...speed look, with just a little blur....dont think it worked.

I love the misty clouds....and the aircraft.

More metal against cloud.

And a mozzy to finish.

I really do like that B-36

, it would have been nice if Alpha did a good VC for it but like this old monster so is Alphasim

As far as that Phantom is concerned , i,m holding out for the A2A model

wow they ae all great Marty..I especially likew the Mossie, Cheyenne and Cresco pics

Great pics. Love them all. Can't believe how real the Cresco looks. You sure you didn't run off to Wanganui and get them to do a fly past for you !!

So what kind of filters and edits did you apply in PS? Particually the cresco

Me too Ian, Ive got the F-4 from cloud 9 but its fs9 only...great aircraft but Im really trying to stick with fsx now. The B.36 is great externally, but like a lot of the Alpha stuff, lets it self down inside.

Thanks Paul, the Cresco has to be my favorite, then the Cheyenne....and the rest (the Herc in particular)

NZ...All i do is sharpen the image.(After a crop)....then back it off to about 30%, play with the offset and gamma untill i think it looks right. Still learning about all the other bits in PS5. If i think its to colourful i decrease the saturation. I still tend to over sharpen some of the shots....i have too remember its computer generated imagery....and not real, otherwise i would just post a photo.
Thanks for looking.

Excellent sceenshots. I especially like the first one. Thanks for sharing

Sweet sweet shots Marty !!!
That Cheyene looks lovely, am I right in thinkin that there arent any of them here in NZ? I had a look on the CAA register and seems like all the PA31s are the older Navajo type?

Not sure deeknow, Ive seen and heard what could only be a Cheyene overhead here a few times....but could have been from Oz.
