I have many hundreds off books here , showing many photos in black and white aircraft parked up by hangers , some reason you forget the real world was in colour until you turn the page to that section , the old decor really suits those screens cool.gif

Ian your not wrong there at all.. and the good thing is the paint is a true TAF scheme NZ2429 was operated by No 4 Otago TAF squadron from then RNZAF Taieri.... and the NAC hanger is still used by the Otago Aero Club today

Like the gray scale effect. What card? Check your settings - quite a few edge jaggies.

thumbup1.gif I love that black and white/sepia look combined with the art deco style hanger. You may want to tighten up your resolution a little.......otherwise great shots thumbup1.gif

Cheers for the positives on the images guys.... oh crikey Naki, i have about 4 different mustangs in the hangar so id have to have a look and see what one it is hahaha..
O'n'D... the Card is an ATI Sapphire 6500 with 1GB VRAM, im still sorting it out, unfortunately my computer nerd needs to come back and help me get it set up properly so i can run it through the HDMI into my 32" monitor and not get stuck using the PC cable so i can bump the res up from 1024x768 to a bit more...

It looks to me as if you need to switch your AntiAliasing setting on/up smile.gif That'll get rid of the jaggies smile.gif

I had read that to help with frame rates turn the filtering from AA to Antrilosopic and that will help increase the frame rates, but i might try going back to Anti Aliasing to see what that does for the jaggies..
Oh and Naki, the P-51D is the Flight 1 P-51D, includes the RNZAF paint as standard as well as Janie which is currently flying in the UK, but is also an EX RNZAF airframe...
