We have seen an influx these last few days of really great crystal clear screenshots - so the obvios question to ask, whats your secret?
Is it your hardware? Your settings? or is it you know who!
You know who you are! So share your secret!

1: don't use time acceleration, FS won't load the full-res terrain textures
2: crank up the settings. I'm running max detail for everything except the weather
3: If i didn't post 4 at a time in one 800x600 picture they probably would look better
Other hints
4: Mesh scenery (LOD7 or higher)
5: Landclass
6: Good models and textures: the Mooney looks a lot better with another paintjob, if you aren't satisfied with the default stuff download some high-detail machines (latest An-24RV release, Maule)

don't let the pics be resized by your screenshot capturing program,use a "real" prog like photoshop for this.

Me I just am using MS Paint to take the initial screenshot, then when my flight is over I open the shots with "Picture it 7" which already in windows XPpro and resize it to 600X800. But sometimes I have to resize them further as they'll come out a little over 100kb from time to time.
Also the graphics settings are nearly maxed out, and all boxes checked ect. And running FS at 1024x768.
