I've recently joined the imperialistic aggressors in the fight for denying Charlie the opportunity to surf.

Some impressions from my current TOD in Southeast Asia:






















Strike Fighters 2 Vietnam with VietnamSEA, GreenHell2, and Widesky addons, all pics edited.

Nice pics. This game still holds up rather well.

Glad you like them.

I use PaintShopPro8, it's just a matter of adjusting contrast and lightness and the colours. Nothing fancy, takes only a couple of moments.

Found another once, came out quite atmospheric:

Excellent pics Para Bellum! I'm a huge fan of subtle editing and you've got the right touch!
