A Few F18 shots with my new Graphics Card 20 Shots, Compression Target: 100kb

[AngusL]

That F-18 is sweet, it's fast, beautiful, maneuverable and very detailed. I took her for a wee flight round Leuchars AB. I'm loving my new card....

Framerates aren't that good, for some reason... I turned ground shadows off and it was fine!!!

Love those reflections!!

Those ground textures round here, like Falkirk, are pretty good!

Turning to have a closer look at them...

Self-Indulgence isn't always a good thing.... "M'am? We regret to inform you...."

VERY Detailed - the refueling tube is animated!!!

:shock: Smoke too?!

Quite liked this shot, the plane looks like it's sitting on the water. Still wondering if there was any point in upgrading my water textures though, they don't seem to be that good....
http://img37.photobucket.com/albums/.../HORNET012.jpg
WOW!!! Those textures are pretty good actually, DX9 cards make all the difference!!

Okay, self indulgence at FL300 isn't too bad ;).

Levelled out at FL350, descending and turning towards Burntisland at my nose.
http://img37.photobucket.com/albums/.../HORNET015.jpg
Low level fly past - not going much lower at this speed! I've killed the throttle but I'm still doing 500 Knots....
http://img37.photobucket.com/albums/.../HORNET016.jpg
That water really is quite nice, the plane was heading towards a stall, nosed up slightly and hit the throttle....

Nice shot demonstrating the new car - plane, textures and water. Might turn this into a sig...
