Thanks to Mike and Paul, I'm almost there with the re-fuelling:

As this is my first screen shot on MAIW, please give me some pointers! I guess, I can only improve......

Cheers - David.

Looks great. My only advice would be to zoom in a little bit to the aircraft so we see more of the aircraft and less of the "world" around them. I know with large aircraft like the B-52 it's hard to get the whole thing in the shot without zooming way out. Sometimes you just have to compromise between getting the whole aircraft in there, and getting the "theme" of shot.

Another little trick you can use to get some different angles would be to use the MS Traffic Explorer SDK that allows you to pick an AI aircraft and put it the spot view. That way you could center the image on the tanker while getting some different angles on the B-52.

David,

That looks really good to me, but Mike is right about the zooming in and different angles. Keep up the good work.

Paul

PS. What B52 are you using?

Hi Mike and Paul
Thanks for the comments, I'll work up a better close up when I sort my FSX/FS2004 contentions!
