I installed back a bunch of WWI planes last night. Miss the super-low-and-slow flights.

Thought you guys might like these. All freeware aircrafts...

Feng,....like Tim said,..."wonderful pictures." You've captured the atmospheric conditions so well. I need to ask: are you using a free-ware or pay-ware installations of the atmos/clouds? If so,...which ones would that be?
 
Thanks for the comments! Willi: yeah, some of these planes are not WWI..but are low-and-slow i guess. The Lublin RXIII in the last pic is also post WWI...some 15 years later i think.

About the sceneries:

Weather: Active Sky v6.5 (this is a very old version; i heard the new one is much better, but i don't own it....if it ain't broke....). As for the settings, crank it to the max. I think i have only 1,000 feet min cloud separation, 10 cloud layers, 20,000 max cloud height, vis is 59 miles, and overcast enhancement turned on.

Clouds, Water, and Sky color: FS Elemental (really really nice add-on). Website is:
http://www.fselemental.com/media.htm

Ground: FSGenesis global Mesh (best money i've every spent for FS9). Very old FranceVFR scenery, and UT Europe.

Trees: TreeGen

FX: Russian Bloom Plugin (I love this plugin! I also use it on GTR2 and some other older DirectX games)

Environment Map: BananaBob's environment 2. This .BMP file will make your chrome and reflective stuff come to life. Also using his Props...

Very nice Feng, your shots always have a depth of detail and coolness of colour that make for a great desktop!
This time it's #5 for me...the feeling of flight. :applause:

So was the Lublin, but tremendous screenshots nonetheless. Good clean up on Stuart's wheels. nice lighting too.

Agree with OleBoy, what scenery is that?

Pete, those are DDS textures meant for FSX I expect. Anyone with the MS Image Tool or DXTBitmap could flip them andconvert them to any .bmop that FS9 excepts I suppose.

What format for FS2004 are your's Feng?

Caz
 
No, the .bmp is not from FSX. It's something BananaBob released on Screenshot art (while that site was still around). It's a much cleaner and polished reflective image (the .bmp is actually just a sky-dome pic of sky and earth).

Polished/Aluminum aircrafts now look amazing w/ this reflective map...

But i have converted his photo-real textures from FSX to FS9 :) They work well on the Carenado stuff...

-feng
 
Thanks Feng for sharing these screenshots and the info. Awesome....

Some extreme resolution in those screenshots..


Bill
 
I wish my rig could produce screenshots like that. :frown:

Great stuff, Feng, as always.
 
Who did that repaint of the Pfalz? It's gorgious!

:applause::applause::applause:

Cees

Edit: should have known it's one of Huub's repaints: Leutnant Voss!

Is that this one or a newer version ?

FS2004 Envmap Alternative (23) Flight Simulator 2004 (Other)
blank.gif
FS9_envmap_replacement.zip (55.47 Kb) (downloaded 428 times)This is an alternate envmap.bmp texture for FS2004. I made it from a FS2004 screenshot so it fits in well with the sim.



Great pics :applause:

Pete.

I'd like to try this too :bump:
 
Feng,....anytime you want to stop by the house and do some FS9 enhancements,....be my guest. For sure,....I'll have a Chicago style deep dish pizza (your choice of toppings) ready for you,...plus some ice chilled Goose Island brewery beer.:ernae:
 
^^ LoL! I might have to stay for 2 years tho :) Cuz that's about how long it took me to get FS9 looking like this. Lots of manual labor of converting textures, renaming files, etc. My FS9 install and folder structure is completely different from default.

Never been to Chicago...heard it's nice and i love pizza! Too bad Meigs is gone tho....

Feng,

You really need to document all these tips. It would be nice to have a Feng's Tips for FS9 sticky so that others can go by all this and get their FS looking as nice as these screenshots..


Also.. You'd better pick up a spare HD and do a backup of your FS to it... Please.... lol.. Do it today!

Do you ever have full size screenshots posted at any sites? I would like to have a couple of these for wallpaper on the computer.
