Leftover shots while looking for one to edit! Thanx for looking.
Edited shot is here:http://www.simviation.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1221400299

The first and the last are really cool  8-)

Amazing detailed airport scenery you've got! Great... (jealous!)  :D

Try to compress them less - that last one is around 114kb, which leaves you 36kb to play with - what I do with each pic I upload is get it as close to 150kb as I can while still being under it. Takes a bit more time but the results are worth it.

Having said that, the angles and lighting in all of these shots is very impressive!

I didn't compress these at all. :-/  These are the size they were when saved as jpeg  in PSP9. Is there a way to increase their size? :-?  My process is take the shot with the V key, then open in PSP9 and save as jpeg. If it over 150kb I then use infranview to compress it to as close to 150 as I can, but if the shot is under 150 already I leave it alone and just upload it. I have often felt if I do some kind of  'reverse compression' as I will call it, that I could get a bit better quality from these undersized shots.
Any advice or opinions on this would help and be greatly appreciated! Thanx for all the comments! 8-)

dam fine shots, i can only notice the compression issues if I look close.

I personaly would say their is nothing wrong with your method of compression, also if each shot was 150kb then the thread would be over the limit.

1024x768x32. I guess there would be natural compression going from the bmp format  to the jpeg format. I guess I'll have to try another screen capture program. I also have screen hunter and fraps, SH I used alot for FS9, and have not ever really messed with the fraps, got it b/c I wanted to do some videos someday.

Hmm nice shots. I dont know a lot about this compression lark but i use fraps, capture as .bmps - i guess psp9 has a save for web feature along with 'save as' - try the 'save for web' if its there - , theres a slider so you can usualy get it pretty close to 150 after youve converted it to the correct size  - i try and go for 146-147kb as once its on here its gets a couple of kb bigger ive noted.

Slighty cropping your shots down even just a fraction often makes it a hell of a lot easier to get to the 150 limit without going to low on the slider!

Irfanview i fnd your always messing about, it often wont get anywhere near 150, often miles over it or miles below it

Amazing what one number on that slider will do to your shots, huh?
