    More shadows in the interior might have been cool. But I'm just nitpicking. This is really cool, and definatley something I haven't seen done this well on here.

    Shame about the hands, they're a bit too low-poly for a FPS shot. Nice editing though.

    Also, i know it's nit-picking, but the attitude indicator on it's current form would mean the plane is on the ground, but understandable since that would be hard to edit/change without advanced PP or changing the texture overall.

    All of the dials and things in the cockpit are movable with the joint tool, i just guess Viper didn't know that

    Ah, i didn't pay any attention to the instruments. Thanks though.

    Considering this is an first person shot, where is the HUD for the helmet? If you left it out to get a better view, that's cool too, just wondering is all.

    This looks like the 1960's-70's, so would they have had actual HUD's yet? I genuinely don't know.

    Looks like the interior of a F-117, which should have had a HUD.

    It's actually a SR-17 Blackbird from Call of Duty Black Ops.

    the colour here is lovely

    the composition is a bit wonky here though. my head feels like it constantly wants to look up to see more of the sky and less of the cockpit. this is partly for compositional reasons but also for realism's sake - pilots don't fly, especially not chase a bogey, looking down at the instruments. i know you probably did this so you could show off the cockpit model but it's a bit uncomfortable

    as i think someone else said, some cast-shadows from the canopy frame into the cockpit would be nice (although actually i'm not sure whether we're above the setting sun here or not)

    i think the darkness of the cockpit is partially what's upsetting the balance of the composition too - it's all just a bit too contrasty. this isn't helped by the very solid dividing line straight across the middle of the canvas. it's very divisive. this can be quite a powerful effect but i dunno whether it really works here

    in terms of story, the composition doesn't sell much either. without some military knowledge (ie. i knew that the cockpit was either an f117 or a blackbird, and i know that the plane on the left is either a c130 or an ac130) it'd be impossible to know which planes on the screen are on which side. it might have been cooler if the protagonist's plane was chasing down the mig as it dives on the c130 or something - that way you'd know that the mig was after the c130 and that the protagonist was defending it. maybe that's not the story you wanted to tell but the point i'm trying to make is that it should be more clear what's going on

    really nice editing though

    Weren't the SR-71s high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft, not dogfighters? Not that I care about authenticity. This still looks awesome.

    Thank you for feedback. Yeah, at first it was just going to be a pic of the Blackbird interior but i added the MiG and the C130 to make it less empty.

    Correct.
