mutley 4,488 Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 Phil beat me to it! The second with the shadow and shine/highlight on the winglet is so effective. Cheers Link to post Share on other sites
reef 3 Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 Great shots. Seems you improve with every post. One pointer for you, in the ANA shot your livery is merging with the sky. To get around this i usually make me aircraft and sky seperate layers and work on each individualy. This way you can darken or add color to the sky to create some separation. steve Link to post Share on other sites
allardjd 1,853 Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 Nice shots. Not familiar with that twin-prop Spit. What is that, exactly? John Link to post Share on other sites
1mag1n3 0 Posted June 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 Thanks guys, and i didnt think to do that steve, ill try it next time :yes: And thanks joe, i think that one worked well also, with the shadows etc :-) And john, i am not sure about the spit with 2 props, i think its a modern version of the plane, possibly made for racing but i am not sure at all, but it looks nice in my opinion!!! :mrhappy: Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,488 Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 John, I have the Real-Air Spitfire http://www.realairsimulations.com/spit0 ... it08_mkxiv for FSX with the Griffon engine and contra prop, it is a Mk X1V but I know that the XXII had it too as a prototype (as well as some of the later Seafires).

allardjd 1,853 Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 Thanks for the info on the counter-rotating propped Spitfire. Does that arrangement completely cancel the torque effects, or just improve it? I have the JF Spitfire and am amazed that anyone was ever able to take off successfully in one. The torque and P-factor effects are just murderous. The only way I can manage it is to use the spot view, which I consider a cheat. Maybe that's why they liked big open grass fields during the war.

mutley 4,488 Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 From RealAir The contra-rotating propeller featured two propellers rotating in opposite directions thereby providing neutral prop torque. However, the contra-prop never made it onto an operational Mk XIV due to consistent, catastrophic gearbox failures on test aircraft. So got it in one John :mrhappy: Cheers Link to post Share on other sites
