Hey, pretty good, Berserker! I see a lot of creativity there, M8 :!: 
A tip for you: When you go to outside view, before making your screen capture, hit the key for "Gunsight View". On my version of the game that would mean hitting the "Delete" key. Why do this?
If you look at your image you'll notice that the near wing of each plane looks disproportionately large. That appearance is due to perspective distortion because the angle of view is too large. That wider angle of view looks correct in the cockpit but not in outside view. "Gunsight View" is a narrower angle of view and thus reduces prespective distortion.
So it's outside view, "Delete" key, make your capture. :wink:
You'll also find that if you zoom in too close on the plane you'll start getting more visible perspective distortion even with "Gunsight View". Zoom in as close as possible but not so close that you see the proportions of the aircraft beginning to distort. Typically, you'll see the vertical stab start to look too big if you zoom in too far. :wink:
Keep at it if you find it to be fun! There are lots of little tips and tricks to be learned. You'll pick those up over time. You have creativity so once you get on to the tips and tricks you'll be making some really great images :!:
