That's not a bad idea, I'm always looking for something different

High Alpha Research Vehicle(HARV)

Is it just me who thinks that a clean Hornet looks wrong? Especially one that does afterburner with no fuel tanks on? I feel like it's just asking for trouble!

Nice shots as always, bisher!

And I remember playing MS Flight Simulator when it was a wire frame...

I did not see a single HARV with fuel tanks(after one minute of research). I see I left one pylon on, meant to remove all. So I could have housed a fuel tank

Whaddya mean, wrong? She's beautiful Ice!

Lookin' good piper!

I turned the brightness down on this shot

Just a matter of preference, really, I think. Like your last pic, again with no fuel tanks. Just looks wrong. I think of fighter aircraft like a mean machine, a beast with sharp teeth and fangs. A clean aircraft, with nary a fuel bag, looks like an old granny who forgot to put her dentures in

This shot by piper, clean but with a fuel bag (and a Sidey), looks better. It looks like it's going home after a good mission, hence the empty pylons, but needed some extra fuel and that's why it has a centerline fuel bag. A totally clean fighter looks like "I'm just doing touch-and-goes and practicing my traffic pattern approaches"


picture not mine, credits to piper

That's purdy too

Hollywood shot!

If you zoom in real close, you can see Tom Cruise.

Firing three Sidewinders? That is indeed a Hollywood shot!!

Same shot, different angle.

It's official. While the shots look cool, the plain skin just doesnt' do it for me.

The default skins can be a bit.........drab.

You take beautiful screenshots Mr Bisher! They have always inspired me to play these simulations.

Thanks man!

Close up

Kind words piper

thanks

Glad you agree with me! The screenshot angles/camera work is awesome though. Like I said, you have a great eye for these things!

I've also realized that while I don't like clean aircraft, one with empty pylons looks okay. I guess it just hints at the fighter being RTB after a successful mission.

Yes



Incoming!
