What system are you running? They look okey but looks like your card need to be turned up. Display Properties>Settings>Advanced.    unless ofcourse you have an ATi card with Cat 5.10+ and CCC then go there to boost your settings. And when all else fails overlcock

My system is an AMD Athlon 64 processor 3200+ 1024mb DDR 160Gb hard drive and an Nvidia Geforce FX5500 (256mb video memory)

Its about a year old.

First shot is so realist

Nice pics, though some might not approve of the spoiler/airbrake combo while landing (worse on take-off, though) in the first..... me, I definately approve...live life on the edge,....

(...of your 'computer seat' )

Looks like you've got a good rig, so...

Turn up all settings (autogen, lighting, clouds etc) to max, Anti aliasing in your video card and not in the sim...AA crucial in fact, nothing ruins a pic more than jaggies

Avoid lens flare most of the time....

Download or buy ai traffic

Download or buy a weather and environment program

Download or buy mesh, landclass, ground textures, scenery

Experiment with different weather, times of day, angles...

Use F1 view (freeware) or a payware program to help take screenshots..

Look out for new stuff to show 'the crowd' to give the set 'extra value', or a theme etc for more interest

For the best tips, just look around the screenshot forums for ideas

I hope this helps...?  :)

Hope to see more from you...

Cheers

The last tip is choose very unique filenames for your shots - tornado.jpg is not very unique, and quite commonly will appear in shots of weather or a certain RAF fighter/bomber, and as soon as someone else uploads a "tornado.jpg" it will change again.

I'd suggest you save all your files and upload them with something like "TOHXXXXX.jpg" or "SKYSIMXXXXX.jpg" which will make the chance of someone accidentally overwriting it a lot smaller.

GCS is GrabClipSave, are you using that? cuz if you are, stop it.
