It's the TNCA scenery from flightsim.com

Filename: arub2002.zip

There's AFCAD for it too but it's a seperate download.

The KLM MD-11 always park at the gate far right corner where the fueling trucks are at sunset to overnight as in real life, then off to the netherlands in the morning ;)
The 747 comes once in a while.

The island secenery is the file on the bottom of the page which adds buildings and land texture, it's at:

Awesome-looking shots, great textures there...

Probably you're not that bothered, but you only posted five and each shot could have been about 97 kb and looked even better... one of yours was about 35 kb, no need for all that cmprssn.... ;) Then we could see them in all their glory!

Still have the original files.  I try to use one compression type for all the photos but some of them come up with 30kb, 70kb and 120kb so the 120kb gets compressed until it's under the 100kb limit.

I'll do just under 100kb for the KLM screenshots tonite ;)

They look lovely hi-res! :)

Any reason for using one compression level? Doesn't take long to play with the slider, lazybones :D ;)

Again, very nice work indeed


I used adobe photoshop to resize and save them in .JPG format.  The slider they have goes from 1 to 10 and the biggest file size was 128kb with the slider at 8 or 9.  Had to take it down until it was under 100kb.
The 4th pic is the one that came close.

I've tried Infranview a long time ago and their quailty is crap when using the convert file size to 800 x 600 and keep it under 100kb.
