Scrapbook images of a warbird just tootling along - 6 images

Just a warbird, tootling along on a beautiful sunny day, here in New Zealand (land of the green grass and eternal sunshine!).

A/C is Spitfire MK IIA, FS2002, FSW Clouds and Photoshop 5.5 to reduce the image size, add the cellotape (took a while to figure it's a visual effect and I don't need to stick cellotape onto my actual monitor!)

Ready to depart NZAA - outside temp @29C, hence the canopy is open.

Just love those fluffy clouds, they look spectacular when you fly through them.

Cruising at 6000ft, playing tag with the clouds.

Sharp end of business - perhaps seen by some in their mirror ?

This a/c has beautiful modelling, and the Merlin engine makes a real nice snarl.

A glance outside, to an idilic holiday location, the Marlborough Sounds.

That's all folks ! Any comments ?

Nice!
You can get drop shadows, and scrolled edges too. Loved those 'Olden Days' posts the other day like this, in sepia.
Love playing tag with the clouds too. For me, that and sunsets is what flying is all about! Especially now we have such good ones! And the 'Spit is great for it. Looking forward to the Sabre for that too! Must get my Roy Chaffin DC3 upgrade for 2k2 as well.
NZ must be great scenery for this sort of thing. Look forward to exploring it.
Maybe a multi one day too?..
