"Took a bit of doing to get this shot spot on; if you want the look it's hard to do without zooming in. Narrows FOV basically, rather than getting close. Great for shooting aircraft. Depicted is an Su-47 Bekrut after a pass on a C-17 Globemaster. Map is rp_ineu_pass_v1e."

You used my C-17 addon? (The content is not mine, I uploaded with permission) I'm glad people are putting it to good use!

This is my first new favorite shot in a long time; lining up the missile with the skybox just right was tricky; the trail is actually just a gap in the clouds, not photoshop. Also the advanced particle control projectile tool is quite useful for things like that trail of smoke. A lot of work with POV went into the shot as well, and some simple tactics like a car seat welded into the cockpit; meant I didn't have to pose a pilot. Getting the Globemaster's wing in the shot without blocking the sun was also fairly difficult, as was the fact that the mountains in the skybox had to be blurred to hide the fact that the skybox is beautiful but the mountainous horizon's texture is pretty low-res when you use the zoom function for the shot like I did here.
