Looks gorgeous Harriers are always fantastic aircraft.

Even though just me, still looks odd seeing them in US Marine markings then just RAF though :P

WOW!!!! Agreed! That's like coming out on stage with your radio hit at the top of the set list. I have always loved the Harrier. I'll have to go check her out. Great shots, thanks for posting.

Thank you all for the warm welcome, I'm glad you like these shots.

I spent half the day tweaking FXAA Tools to produce realistic(in my opinion)atmosphere hues above the FSX stock values which tend to have a grey-ish tint to them as they block most of the beautiful subtle effects the FSX engine is able to produce.

My notes on some of these shots,

Shot 1# Please notice the ground vibrancy coming from the distant open blue sky yet the division between earth and sky is gradually joined together as a horizon bloom as this is how your eyes would interpret the contrast between the two elements. despite it being sunny the shadow(s)have a full range of shades in and around the cockpit area. The clouds can be blinding white at times

Shot 2# I personally love this shot because alot is going on, besides the very detailed and fully functional cockpit Razbam created, the foreground colors are much brighter then any other part of the image, this shot was take in a not very particularly sunny day so a slight atmospheric haze envelops the valley below stretching out to the mountains, as they should the foremost mountains in the distance are dark gradually shading white with a hint of purple tint. Once again a horizon bloom is apparent.

Shots 3&4# I wanted to bring out the level of detail Razbam produced with this model, alot of details so i wanted to bring the shot into a closer frame. Please note image #3 the wings are producing vapor trails over the leading edge along with contrail on the wing tips as I'm doing erratic maneuvers in this arid environment somehow enough moister exist to produce them these and the clouds in the distance.



@Chris89; Yeah I think this model is brand new so not many skins exist yet but I'm sure the RAF Markings are on the way, @AgressorBlue; also I'm barely able land on the tarmac so I've have not tried VTOL yet but I'm downloading Javier's to up the landing challenge for when I'm ready to VTOL.

If you would like to try my interpretative recreation of reality please take a look at these values and tool.

FXAA is not good as other Anti-aliasing methods but i am willing to sacrifice a little sharpness for better colors, let me know if you find improvements or have other tools the produce interesting results also.

Thanks all

Great screenshots! thumbsup


There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the universe is for it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more inexplicable.
There is another theory which states that this has already happened.

"@Chris89; Yeah I think this model is brand new so not many skins exist yet but I'm sure the RAF Markings are on the way,"

Actually, there shouldn't be any RAF markings done for this jet, really. The AV8B was designed for the Marines and built here in the U.S.. This version of the Harrier was used only by them, as far as I know. I reallt like the way it looks , better than the British Harriers, actually. Wilco makes a version of the RAF and RN Harriers for FSX.

The GR7 & GR9 are based on the A8V. Just saying generally overal for me it looks odd to see any Harrier model in US markings especially after living RNAS Yeovilton (HMS Heron) for 16 odd years and always seeing them :P (Before moving to West Midlands)
