AA904 Dep. Rio de Janeiro

[flavio]

Just 3 pics of the leveld 767, AA904 flight from Rio SBGL to Miami KMIA, during departure.

No SID since traffic was low, used FLIPR1 arrival into a right turn to RNW9 ILS.

heres some of the rest, gotta say, this first picture does not do it justice, i felt like i was really in a cokcpit departing a big city, was an amazing experience!

Too dark for my taste, and waaaaaaaaaaaaay overcompressed...

you see thats the problem, difference between peoples monitors.

in mine it shows up fine, looks pretty realistic, but im at school right now and in the monitor here they come out almost pitch black, so thats the reaason it looks fine for me but not for you.

and teh second thing, i really wish i didnt need to compress them, but the site has teh size rules, and when i save it as a JPEG with the allowable size, this is what comes out.

if you or anyone has any suggestions on how to go about getting better results, let me know! although the monitor thing, is just the nature of different monitors with different brightness settings.

My monitor isn't the problem, the shots are just way to dark.

It's hard to compress dark shots to a favourable size, but use IrfanView or Photoshop, and use 'Save for Web' (needs plug-in for IrfanView). Then set a value that gets you about 148 KB.

gotcha, ill try photoshop, i got CS3.

yea, now i see theyre at about 20kb LOL.

i guess i like my nights dark in FSX
