The Bleriot named 'Britannia' happens to be two kilometers from me dangling from the roof at the Wigram Air force museum , the name was pressed onto the engine cover , don,t think it had roundels on the wings tho , but superb apart from that a Superb effort

I do recall flying your original across the Cook Strait only just making the beach in the North Island in 2009 .... I'm sure the seagulls were flying faster than i was

Wow that looks great...does the model have wing warping?

Sorry Naki, skinned mesh animation works well en 3DSMax .... but impossible to transform well in FSX ; don't work !

Guess Second Lieutenant Joe Hammond and former NZ Prime Minister Joseph Ward are going to be very very Happy with your results

Great screen shots, love these 'against the light' shots, just need a little fill flash to provide the finishing touches - I was reading about using flash in arial photography on Using Flash lighting for arial photography

You're right Scaber ..... i have an idea to do that .... will mixe 2 photographies same point one 'against the light' shot and one " sun face " shot done from the same view in FSX .... only changing the time from afternoon to morning ...
will try that

and Thanks !!!

Good thinking with that technique, will need to remember that myself to fix those sorts of shots.
