Pilots who fought in the Battle have been known as The Few ever since....They become "The Local Heroes"

I have a screenshot but can't see how to upload it here so it's on my own page here rafaeldebono.deviantart.com/ar…

I was seeing them as if the camera were right over their noses with the aircraft at 90 degrees to the ground and vertical, and the ground appearing under them so they're like a rocket taking off photographed from directly above the nose. one 109 like that and I'll do the rest

Ok... I've managed to come up with this: thedevil13th.deviantart.com/ga…

Let me know what do you think and if you can work further with that. Otherwise tell me what do i need to correct...

*sees that you require only 1 aircraft to complete the project* Well that's what i get for not reading carefully ok... ill see what i can come up with Ill post the links somwhere here...

Ok so the scenery is still to be the same ( tight finger-four formation, climbing into camera, river on their 6) but im to adjust the camera angle...

And i'd be really happy if you'd give me the ingame time you prefered since i can also set time and weather there... once you write me your wishes for the day time and weather ill see what i can do for ya...
Oh and ill really be glad if you also said the size of the flight (number of aircraft in the formation)
(i only want to do it for 1 series of screnshots since the ai is extremly incooperative in climbing flight and having your time and weather preferences would really help me out...)

Sorry for the late response but i had some shit IRL to take care of...

Hi, I didn't think you'd want to do this with me, so I'm delighted at your response! I'm DL the movie and will take a screen shot to show you - the ones you sent are part of the idea but not quite how I recall it looked. I'll get back to you shortly

It's a beautiful rendition of a 109. Not enough pictures of them

I think my profile is pretty rich with the 109. pics... maybe give a look and tell what you think about it...
But yeah i agree defenitly a lack of 109 pictures out there... its just as if the pepole dont appreciate the plane that much...

HI, yes, that's what I meant. I have seen yours and they are gorgeous but I'd like to see more by you and by others. There's plenty of Spitfires out there, they were roughly matched most of the time which means they were both amazing aircraft, regardless of whose side one was on. I'd love to seeΒ  finger-four formation in a vertical climb, shot from above them as they fly into the lens with maybe a glistening river far below them - like the ending of the sequel to Tuskegee Airmen. I don't have the skills to do that myself. Would you maybe do one of them in a vertical climb from above, share it with me and I'll do the rest and we could share credit?

Good Hunting!

So... I've lost my squadron... the recruit bailed on me the last moment... So debrief me on the details such as number of aircraft, time, weather, or any other preferances that you havent mentioned in your message...

theDEVIL13th In reply to RafaeldeBono [2016-07-01 16:38:44 +0000 UTC]

Ill see what i can do...
But first let me sort out some heavy trouble im experiencing regarding my online squadron...
(Im in danger of loosing my online squadron (im the squadron leader) because i dont have enough pilots left to keep the squadron afloat (there were 10 pilots in my squadron but now theres only me and the squads no.3 (a friend from germany) left... (my squads 2.nd in command dropped out on me because he's constantly experiencing technical difficoulties because the game isnt compatible with a GTX970 SPECIAL GPU... it lead to the fact he permanently ragequitted the game series and just turned in his resignation a few hours ago... the other 6 pilots resigned due to finding a new squadron and mostly for me being extremly strict regarding intentional friendly fire (NO shooting down friendly aircraft (not even AI) at ALL costs) or for not feeling suitable to fit in the squadron... (supposendly they felt "underskilled" and for this reason resigned...) (and to keep the geschwader afloat i'd need to have at least 3 pilots in total to be at least semi-active and 1 reservist... (4 pilots in the entire squadron in total))
But maybe i can do it with a flight of AI's....
Any altitude, number of aircraft (how many planes to be in that climbing formation), time and weather preferances??

Looks like its taking part on the coast near Dover. The white cliffs suggest it anyway.

Wow. I have to say, your work is %*@#'in AMAZING! I so love all the tiny little details (the "spent" ammo cartridges, the pilot "bailing out", the Cliffs of Dover "peeking out" through the clouds...) I also quite appreciate all the "factoids" that you include with each of your pieces of Artwork. Absolutely brilliant! 10 stars (out've 10)- Your work is "spot on"! Call me an adoring fan... Peace.
