I think the Humvee in the opening frames won. :roll:

It got the award for most realistic representation of its real life counter part.

:P

I gotta say the F-15 characteristics looked the most realistic :D 8) 8) , the F/A-18F looks totally ridiculous :roll: :twisted: :lol:

I think the most impressive passes were the 4 ship line abreast and delta at the end of the t-birds. It's a cool video even though they're not doing it right... and not too crazy about the piss yellow smoke. :lol:

edit- so there is simtube now lol...

A friend of mine showed me SimTube, I think it's prettey cool. Uploading goes fast and easy, quality is prettey good aswell. The only thing is that it is prettey much "owned" by the FS community. Well, i think that changed now :lol:
What I hate though is that I received personal comments of people who think what we do is "tricked" or "coded" some way (stupid FS ppl) :evil:
I think i'm gonna install FS9 again and make a little movie 8)

I was checking out the new VFA-31 CAG texture thats on simviation for FSX, its almost dead accurate. Its a pretty hi-res skin and it makes the hornet look more like a tomcat. :lol: 8)

In that case, they did some damn fine work on the paint job, looks just as good.
