WAY too many pics...

Right, in my current state of over-productivity, I can't stop making screenshots.

This very long set was shot on a trip from Melbourne to Sydney.

Same old thing, same old boredom... I'll come up with something new soon, I promise!

Take off...!

A turn... yeah

I really do promise, I will come up with something new soon...

You are way way way over the 600k total limit per post.

Yeah well, I figured three topics wouldn't be any bigger...

Why three small, when you can get one large?

Well, you also give us three almost identical shots, except for the background (1, 2 & 11, with 12 being the same but inverted).  For a self proclaimed master of screenshots, you may want to look at that. One large one (you can go to 1024 wide) would have been better I think.
Apart from the angles, you also may want to look a bit more at what you want to show. Most images here are of a plane from slightly different angles with a nearly blue sky. These are all so easy to make, you hang the aircraft in the air, pan around and push PrintScreen a lot. Try to think of better angles (the one from the rear is not bad), do something about the sky and clouds,  give us some more interesting scenery to look at, anything. Take that wingshot for example (#4), what is that? A wing, a bit of blue, some default clouds, nothing exciting, 25 to the dozen.
Sorry to be so critical, but if you insist on going over the 600k limit, you'd better do it with REALLY nice shots, and maybe you'll be forgiven. In this way, I'd rather you didn't.

The shot you're using for your sig is better btw, that at least has interesting lighting. And yes, I love Qantas too!

"Self-proclaimed" being the keyword :P

I've been using 1024 until now, because smaller shots can do good at hiding lack of AA... And a 1024 pic is a bit hard to see in full, when normally going through a thread, unless you got a big monitor... Seeing it in full also makes it easier to get an impression of the entire pic.

But thanks, I'll keep all this in mind for next time :)

Dunno when next time is, really gotta come up with something new  ;D

I agree, I hate to scroll you 800 it is for me, but you started on large ones... ;)
As for something new, try the FTXAUBLUE demo and you have great scenery, and you can still fly Qantas (hop from Launceston to Hobart in something small eg)
