I like the angle, but the ground textures are blury. There are some jaggies on the plane. Overall, it's not that interesting. If there was something to look at on the ground (airport landmark, etc.) it would be much better.

Well I kinda wanted this pic to look like a photo taken from another plane so in my mind the blurry ground add to that effect. As for the jaggies. thats from the compression. Thanks for looking.

I don't think blury ground textures enhance a shot, no matter what effect you're going for. Some nice, sharp scenery would make the shot 10 times better. You use Ifranview to compress your images, right?

If this is FSX, use the V key to take shots. Shots save to User\Pictures\Flight Simulator X Files.

Then use IrfanView, or better yet Photoshop, to compress the shots :)

...are you short on Computer memory?...

Make sure you are not streaming scenery from your hard drive!

It looks as thought the scenery is not fully loading quick enough as you fly...

...especially if you suddenly change to the external view for the shot!

I use FS9 Only , memory should be ok I have 2 gig Ram. The one problem I go have is when my terrain only loads a few blocks at a time. some will be crisp then goes blurry and so on.

For a really nice shot, just wait a few moments for the textures to fully load. If you need to have your settings turned down slightly for flying, turn them up for the shots. Do you preserve the orginal image after you resize? If so, try resizing to 800x600 and post the result please.

Okay, now you'll notice that, not only does the image fit on screen without scrolling, but the jaggies are not as noticable. Right now it looks a little blurry, but if you hit the sharpen button, it will look fine. I always resize to 800x600 nd I htink it gives a better result.
