DC-6 over SF Bay (no, really)

This set is for you @P_7878 - 'by special request' - I'd hate you to go away disappointed <grin>

I got this when it came out, kind of reluctantly. I really am not in love with the whole button-pressing lever-pulling knob-twiddling thing in the sim, but the combination of this being such a fine looking beast and the fact that is has the AFE to take care of most of the aforesaid fiddling around I thought I'd risk it. So far, I'm still much happier just looking at the thing than trying to fly it, but you never know, I might get around to it eventually.

So here's my attempt to capture the SF mist / sea fog / morning cloud or whatever it actually is, with JFK on his way back east after a bit of west coast hand-shaking.

Way too much going on in here for the likes of me

Wasn't really getting the feel I was looking for, plus of course you can't really see much in these conditions, so restarted the flight with brighter skies

What I like about this shot is that because the Bing imagery is so out of date, Candlestick Park is still here in this picture, and I figure that gets you a whole bunch of '60s icons in one picture, assuming you buy into the idea of Jackie and JFK both being on board here

CTD'd here - none of the replay software is hugely happy being wound back to the beginning or moved around a lot, I've found, so didn't manage to get a sunny shot over the bridge. Never mind, there's plenty of time for more of this later.

Enjoy.

Cheers John. Didn't quite get the effect I was after, but then I do tend to use presets. It never occurs to me to try and create a preset / environment of my own but maybe I should experiment a bit - it's not an area I've played with.

@P_7878 , @Sunshine13 , @pmplayer - thanks guys, glad you enjoyed them.
