Very nice shots, dodgy did you hit the ground shortly after taking the photo of the wright flyer?

No actually. I kept it going for a good 15 minutes, you have to really concentrate to do it but it IS possible.

I see that Gareth and Soya have found the Bleriot and Antoinette aircraft i used in my shots....well done guys, some nice captures!

@ Tom: The sites posted may only show FS9 aircraft, but as Soya has shown, they are perfectly capable of being used in FSX also, it's just a case of importing them in.

Here's 2 late entries from me - tried to get the Magnificent Men as well as their Machines! :thanks:

The first is one you all know - yes, the Red Baron himself - Baron Rittmeister Manfred Freiherr von Richthofen. Here he is flying his Fokker DR 1 'tri-plane' over the trenches at Verdun.

And next, the Red Baron's nemesis - he was shot down by Canadian pilot, Captain A.R. Brown, in a Sopwith Camel. Here's the machine as flown by the Canadian Ace, Major William George Barker, VC., with his special pierced heart emblem on the tail.

No edits, just a couple of tweaks on the textures with PhotoShop - the DR 1 is by Andrei Solomykine & Alexandr Gordeev and the Camel by David Eckert .

Enjoy - and Good Luck! :winka:

Cheers - Dai. :whis:

Thanks to all you brave people who took part in this month's competition :winka:

The most difficult yet but you rose to the occasion.

Our winner this month was a very late entrant and wins with this excellent shot of the Sopwith Camel, a lovely example, great colour, lighting and overall feel and a great tribute to our flying heroes.

The winner then is ddavid :thanks:

Well done Dai, get choosing your prize!

Cheers

Well done Dai, indeed a :winka: the shot is perfectly suited to the month's theme, well done.

Also well done to all who entered, plenty of good shots again this month, bet it kept the judging a difficult one.

See you all in the next month's compo. :thanks:
