Shot#2 is excellent, minus the toolbar. Glad to see you regained control in shot#1 ;D

Interesting coloring in #1 and #3. #2 gives an excellent view of some pretty nice scenery, and I'm liking it. Now, there are two things very wrong with the photos, though, and they are common beginner problems, so don't feel bad.

The first is: Jaggies. These are quite unsightly, as it makess the plane look very polygonal, and are not good to have in a screenshot at all.

The second is: Overcompression. The photos are quite overcompressed, as well. You have a 100kb limit to each image, and a 500kb limit to a post. Use as much of it as you can.

Other then that, you are off to a good start.

Oh yes, and get rid of the menu bars and onscreen text when taking screens. I, too, like to pause my sim when taking shots, but I always wait until the "simulation paused" sign disappears before snapping the shot.

You've got the brains, now you need to get the pizazz.

Yeah agree with Ranger there, you got the touch but still need to fix couple of things, he mentioned two of them, the third one is getting rid of all the text/toolbars/interference as possible. I belive even this is the "non-edit" section of the forums, it is allowed some editing to remove the red text. And the toolbar can be hidden with an option in your preferences

Good shots, hope to see your next set with these improvements in them ! ^^

Get the program Irfanview http://www.irfanview.com and you can choose the quality you wish to save the pictures at. General preference for me is 800 by 600 saved as a JPEG at 80% to 85% quality.

Don't delay, it's free.
