OH MY GOSH! WOW!!!!
Rich, these are AMAZING screenshots ~ the sky colors and the textures are truly stunning. I had to revisit them several times... how did you create these? I really was blown away!

Excellent screenshots and very good presentation.

Great flight, too. I was holding my breath through every shot.

I doubt that I enjoyed it "as much as you did flying it", But, it was a kick in the breeches for sure!

Thanks.

The textures are some that I'm working on. I'm not sure if something similar is available through BlueSkyScenery or MegaSceneryEarth because I don't think they covered that part of Utah. Because of the great expanse of the Great Salt Desert, there's a lot of white and lighter colors in the ground colors. It makes for interesting lighting effects, especially because I always fly with visibility set to either 30 or 40 miles. The sky is custom made through FEX to yield the brighter horizons I saw in Utah around dusk. The rest is Shade and ENB.

Glad you enjoyed it. FSRecorder can make for some great fun.

OMG A PHANTOM!!!

Umm...sorry 'bout that, it's a conditioned response. These shots are simply breathtaking! As the son of a Phantom Phixer I'm just a little biased, but that -21 is a beautiful plane, too.

Nice shots !!

Seriously great set of shots... The lighting on the first set is unreal...

I don't fly military aircraft very often - but - when I do it's usually the old Cloud 9 F4 - I'm still amazed by the details every time I fly it...

Regards,
Scott

Thanks, folks, for the compliments. Much appreciated. There's something about the Phantoms lines. As I was stalking/forming on it, I kept thinking: What a beautiful aircraft! The angle didn't matter; above, behind, below. It has lovely lines.

Yes, it isn't in Flightsim's File Library. Repaints for it exist here but not the aircraft itself. It's over at Simviation and it is for FS9.
