March 25, 201115 yr Hello all,Welcome to my latest screen shot series, the first proper series taken from my new FSX PC which is now pretty much fully up and running (after my last FSX PC died a slow death late last year). I forgot how many tweaks/mods/addons etc I had on my flight sim, it took nearly 2 months of slowly getting back to a fully running sim which also included much testing on the new system to keep the FPS as high as possible (that process never seems to end!).Now I really wanted to challenge my new system and see if I could still match the visuals from all my previous shots taken with my older PC. And what better way to challenge that then with the 3 freeware American Airline Ultra High Definition Textures for Captain Sim's 757 from McPhat, throw in a nice airport (Flytampa's TNCM), add some great scenery (freeware NL2000v4) and to top it all off, why not try and make a video based around the same theme!So here we have it, Ageless American in both video and screen shot flavour, take your pick. The video can be seen via this link best watched in full 1080p glory using full screen. I would appreciate if you could add a vote on the youtube channel (whether you like it or not) and perhaps a comment as well, I am trying to gauge the interest people have in the flight sim videos I make (and hopefully will continue to make).Time for the screen shots, enjoy this series based on some of the classic American Airlines liveries, Ageless American:(all screen shots are unedited just resized)My thanks for your time and I hope you enjoyed the view here.

March 25, 201115 yr Moderator Cool vid, although the music was in poor taste.I admit I wasn't going to watch the video since i'm not typically interested in watching FS videos, but based off that comment on the music I couldn't resist wathcing to see for myself.I actually liked the music, but that type of music does get a little repetitive sounding after a while. All in all, I though the video was well done and I wouldn't say that the music was in poor taste, but I suppose when it comes to music, its hard to appeal to everyone taste. I can think of many other choices of music that I would consider to be in bad taste, but that one wasn't one of them.Aside from the music the screen shots look nice Soya. Maybe a little much on the reflections and brightness in the bloom for me, and the AA paint did look a little too much like chrome rather than aluminum, but overall well done!!

April 1, 201115 yr Nice ones, bit too much bloom on the first pics. But gotta love the shiny metal AA scheme. :( Christoph Sebek - Download my files at AVSIM File Library here
April 2, 201115 yr Commercial Member Nice shots as usual Soya!The video was a tad long, and like some one said the music could've been better. Also I would suggest using more natural camera angels, spot planes usually can't get that close and we never see videos that close so try a little further away and perhaps had some shakey/imperfection to it. Good Day, Engjell Berisha
