I can scratch another addon off of my wish list.

Skywarp!  WOW! 

All are very cool, but #3 is the coolest!

Shane, the bloom in the external view is a bit too strong, to be honnest.
The aircraft choice is cool, though 

Yeah I saw that  , and the compression really didn't do any justice on the red in the first shot.

I need to be more careful about angle, and time of day with this bloom.

What are you using for converting/compressing your JPEG shots ?
I'm using Paint.NET to resize the original BMP shot and convert it to JPEG. It gives me excellent results, especially it keeps the quality high and good compression at the same time.

For example, usually my shots in 1024x640 are much less than 90 kb at only 90% quality (meaning, 10% compression). And the colors stays good. Never as bright as the original, of course, but good nevertheless.

PLEASE tell me those Iris F15 are for FS9 !?!?!?!

They are for FS9, just like all the other IRIS aircrafts that have been recently released as freeware.
F-15C, F-15E, F-14, Harrier, Mig-29, F-35, EAP etc... all for FS9.

I use Paintshoppro 9.  It's been a long time since I've had any issues with compression, it's just that I broke most of my personal rules of screenshot taking with these, and wound up paying the price for it on the first two shots. 

They were well over 600Kb each before I compressed them down to just under 150kb.  I knew it was a bad idea to show so much red & blue, without compensating for it by reducing the visibility of the background scenery, but I was just so darned excited to have them, and show them off.   


@Propwash- Indeed they are, for FS9, in FS9!    The repaints for these are in the link at the bottom of my post, hosted here at SimV.  8-)

OMG some that remembers the G1 Tri And i have Skywarp sitting on my computer right now
