FSX: F-5A Sunset 1680 x 1050 Widescreen Wallpaper

I love flying and Microsoft Flight Simulator X is one of best flight sims on the market today. One of the great things about having a widescreen monitor is being able to fly in 1680 x 1050 resolution where you can truly immerse yourself in this virtual world.

I took this shot off the California coast at dusk with building storm clouds. I'm flying an F-5A mod (with an enhanced flight model done by yours truly).

I've currently got this shot as my desktop background and my wife was like "wow, where did you get that!" If any of you have great shots in widescreen format you'd like to share, send them along to me at widescreenwallpapers@hotmail.com. If I like the shot and it meets my quality standards, I'll be glad to post it here.

Enjoy!

CVN-74 United States Naval Nuclear Carrier 1680 x 1050 Widescreen Wallpaper

It's an amazing floating airport that can project power around the globe. The nuclear carrier is another modern marvel of technology. Trying to land on one of these at night is one of the most difficult skills to master.

The shades of blue and the clouds add a dramatic touch to this shot. I mostly adjusted the contrast and saturation.

Enjoy!

B-2A and F-15E Formation 1680 x 1050 Widescreen Wallpaper

Love the formation shots. Here's a B-2A with two F-15E Strike Eagles.

This picture required a lot of rework to complete. It's amazing what you can do with Photoshop...

Enjoy!

F-14D Tomcat 1680 x 1050 Widescreen Wallpaper

If you look closely in this picture you'll see a laser guided bomb near the centerline. I believe they called these air to ground Tomcats "Bombcats". Great name.

Enjoy this nice widescreen background.
