Title: Nice screenshots
Post by: Frankie on December 22, 2016, 06:19:01 PM
Here are two interesting screenshots of Tornado. Interesting for three reasons. One, the perspective is unusual - it is shot from the top (F2 key) just as the plane is screaming away at an angle. Two, the ground detail is typical of the game, which in the early-1990s was the most detailed portrayal of landscape of any flight simulation game. Three, the ground detail was a product of David Marshall's talent in designing ground structures and landscape detail, and indicative of what was to come years later in terms of scenery design.

Years after he had left Digital Integration (then Titus Interactive), the late David Marshall turned his creative gifts to designing X-Plane scenery  (http://www.moodurian.com/tornado/supersized/slideshow/dkm.html)and downloads (http://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?/profile/238423-dkm/content/&type=downloads_file) for the community.
