See FS9 can't do reflections, so every now and then one has to provide them.
Sqirls is a little freeware photo-editing utility that does this kind of thing.

This Italian bird has fascinated me for a long time...
You stand behind it, looking at the "front" of the engines, then they start and blow all that glop onto the Nikon...

Here's a hi-res link in case you can't see the spray!

Thank you Marty... it's a real time waster, you can produce an animated gif with sqirls, and then look at your handiwork, looping over and over!
Can't seem to post this, though, so here's another massively edited tail-view of that bird, on a quick trip to Spain, rain and reflections and blur edited after

Can you please provide a link to this utility? My Google searches are not coming up with anything.

Yes apologies I didn't have the source when I started the thread, but have now found a readme.
Try this:

Biggest danger with effects like this is to get hypnotised by it, and go Over the Top!
The last pic I posted already looks a bit cheezy to me...fun though.
Post your pics here, be interesting to see other interpretations.

Just had a quick Squirl myself

Quick and dirty, 5min tops... With more time and a better image to start with, it could be very impressive

Alpha, i love that tone on your shot.....great shots.

Cool shot, AS!
If you start with the right perspective, it's really easy and quick to do.

Cheers mate. I'll probably fire up FS in the weekend to take some screenshots with this in mind. At the moment, I'm just having a play with existing shots
