BillD22 Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Here are a couple of quick shots of the newest addition to my hangar - the Aerosoft FSX F-16 "Fighting Falcon" These 2 airplanes - in the paint scheme of the Edwards Air Force Base Flight Test squadron - are climbing out of Miami (KMIA) en route back to California on a Monday after a weekend of tropical fun in South Beach What - you may ask - are Edward's F16s doing beachside in Miami Florida? Well - let's just say these 2 guys logged their weekend flight as "Cross country instrument training" - perfectly legit ;):D:D:D:D:D [click on the images for a full screen view] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

il88pp Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Fantastic angle that first one! How did you do that? In GIMP rotate 30 degree right, then cut out rectangle from the centre or something? Fantastic!:):D [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In GIMP rotate 30 degree right, then cut out rectangle from the centre or something? Fantastic!:):D Guys - many thanks for looking and the good words il88: I started with the built in external aircraft head on "Nose" view that comes with the F16 then used FSX view key commands to move out and right then rotated left to frame the whole airplane and include the wingman Hey, gotta stay current on this stuff! :D Pat☺ Absolutely - no reason to get excited just because the flight ends up in Miami............. or Vegas :D:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
il88pp Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 I still don't fully understand. Did you rotate in fsx?? or in an editor? Up till now I used the hat switch and didn't remember you could rotate with shift numpad3 so thanks for that idea. But whatever I do, I can't get the horizon to show at an angle. (In the editor it would work of course, but not in my fsx accel). Btw, I love the f16, so kind words were easy to find.:) Both shots are superb.

BillD22 Posted April 4, 2016 Author Share Posted April 4, 2016 Used the hat switch to rotate - I'm by no means an expert on FSX views - mostly trial and error :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
il88pp Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Thanks for the info. I'll see if I can fuzzy-logic a shot like that some time.;) il [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomTweak Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Absolutely - no reason to get excited just because the flight ends up in Miami............. or Vegas Or maybe Rosey Roads, PR. The beaches are tan-fastic :D The Navy gets the good liberty ports. Even the Marines wind up in a swamp, or a desert, or something. Roosevelt Roads, in PR, or Sigonella Spain, maybe The PI are all fantastic places to see...

Pat☺ Unfortunately Roosy Roads has been closed but in its day was a good one - it's a quick hop from there over to St. Thomas and the other Virgin islands or a short drive into San Juan & it's beachfront casinos. That plus destinations like England, Spain, etc. are logged as "Long range overwater Nav training" :D:D Absolutely positively required to maintain proficiency :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
