How on earth did you get such a big moon? I WANT ONE!!! Link to post Share on other sites
Soya 7 Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 How on earth did you get such a big moon? I WANT ONE!!! First off the moon is not the default FSX moon as that one is way too low res. I replaced the default bmp moon files with a high res one (can find it on most FSX libraries). Then in order to achieve that large moon shot with the 747 silhouetted in front of it, I used the fly-by camera to create a large distant between the camera POV and 747, then simply zoomed in till I got the 747 in full view with the moon zoomed behind it. Not an easy shot and took me close to an hour just to get the shot right, still, came out pretty good. Link to post Share on other sites

Ruzzo 59 Posted November 22, 2013 Report Share Posted November 22, 2013 Alan, I think you're only allowed three screenshots, as per the rules? A maximum of 3 shots per user, these shots can be changed at any time prior to the end of the competition. Link to post Share on other sites

More like major time spent fussing with trajectories to get a flyby lined up just right (OMG...HOW did you manage that. I tried for 20 minutes and gave it up as hopeless. Salute to your patience Sir: o7 ) I also replaced my moon textures with the HD versions...ty for that tip Soya!...so much nicer to look at in game. I revised one of my earlier attemts in this thread, but it is way to dark, need PS badly for my new computer. Also added a new one of a f-23 landing at my Angwin Base in N.Cal. What an amazing airplane. Link to post Share on other sites
Soya 7 Posted November 26, 2013 Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 So are you telling us that the shot is a major editing exercise? No, I think you may have misunderstood. Nothing is edited in that shot, its a straight captured shot from FSX with no post editing. I was saying the moon is not the default FSX moon as the default is way too low res. Just an addon to show a higher res bitmap moon so when zooming in, it still looks like a moon. Then simply a lot of patience to get the shot right with the flyby camera which is one of the default FSX camera views. Link to post Share on other sites
dodgy-alan 1,587 Posted November 26, 2013 Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 Ah right, Thankfully I don't have FSX with all it's idiosyncracies. The more I see all the issues you guys have with it, the more i'm glad I stuck with the earlier format. Link to post Share on other sites
