Well that was fun

Thanks for the comments and thanks to everyone for participating

I am not a screenshot expert, I just snag these things in flight as they play out.

It would be nice if SimV raised the size and weight of shots to accommodate the modern hardware out there. 1024x768 (4:3) and 1024x640 (wide screen ratio) at 150Kb would work and thread limits of 600Kb.

Raising the thread limit by a mere 100K would go a long way to allowing more detail to be seen in shots. Us guys on wide screen really suffer because we have to think way ahead to how small the image will end up compared to the original.

Anyway, thanks for all the kind words. It looks like a fun little plane that will really be enjoyed. I will be donating it to someone here at SimV who really deserves to have a little payware fun but can not afford to to buy such luxuries.

Well done Nick, gorgeous shot.

I completely agree with you on  the screenshot limits.  Widescreen is a way off life for a lot of people now and we dont even get the same area allocation for a shot, the shots appear half the size thatn a 4:3 shot doe to the height limit (800 width = very small height at 16:9)
