Some Screenshots

Here are a few screenshots I have been meaning to share for a while, from various flights with various variants of the P-51D.

Brilliant shots of a brilliant aircraft.:applause:
Now, about the Allison powered versions?..........................:jump:
 
Absolutely stunning shots! After watching Red Tails, gotta get me a Mustang very soon. Though might wait for the A2A variant or DCS. BTW, if you haven't seen Red Tails yet, it was ok, not what I expected associated with George Lucas, though it would seem his name or company was more at testament to the many special effects throughout the movie which were fantastic.

John....if you are using shade...what theme are you using and also what visibility distance are you using? I love the shadows you are getting on the aircraft in flight.
 
Thank you all for your comments and compliments regarding the screenshots!

I don't use shade, or any of the other similar software (it might lead to false conclusions if trying to advertise products that way). I do use a set of sky and cloud textures from REX, but I have kept the default FSX shaders in place (as many times with an REX installation, it seems to really mute-out/dull-down the default FSX shading/lighting). So what you see is basically stock FSX and stock FSX shaders, with sky and clouds from REX, and photo scenery of England being the VFR Gen X scenery.

P-51D-5 I'm guessing. Early production Ds didn't have the strake. I'm sure John will comment this when sees it with much more detail.
 
When my memory is still correct, I think it is the P-51 D-5-NA, one of the earliest versions of the D version.

Why do all these awesome shots have a crappy photobucket watermark on them?

Because Photobucket is no longer free and if a Photobucket user does not want to pay annual fees, then the user's screenshots will have permanent Photobucket watermark.

Aharon
 
It's a Photobucket issue that they themselves are responsible for, ever since they began charging for the use of their services. For any images still hosted by them through non paid-for accounts, they've slapped their watermark on them. For the last few years I've been using Flickr instead (though now I'm paying for that service, rather than Photobucket).

Edit: Just as Aharon states above. ; )
