I made this website. I'm starting to post my screenshots at my site as well as here. At my site, I might include larger images than allowed here.

I will also be posting links to my video's both FS and hand made using Bryce and Lightwave.
Also stills created in Bryce and Lightwave.

Please sign my guest book, I would really appreciate it.

I just finished a huge upgrade.
Now I have a store there. All of my items are based around FS2004.
For instance, I just finished building a page with just Flight Controllers, (and two keyboards).
If you need to buy something, I would greatly appreciate the business.  :)
Please click on my Sig to go to my site,
Thank you,
Chrisco

I've just added a page of FS2004 add-on software from Aerial Foundry, Abacus, Tri Synergy and of course MS. These are all payware Addons for now so I can try and make enough money to get a Pay site with some more disc space.
If I can find any more software addon affiliates, I will add them on as well.

This falls under the same category as photography.
I purchased FS, now I'm taking photos (screenshots) of it, and putting the prints up for sale.
If I bought a Ferrarri, you can bet I would sell my pictures of it. Same thing.

A new update for my site, I was running low on space, so I started using imageshack to host my images instead of directly using my space.
If you've been there before, you'll find my site getting a bit more organized. If you haven't, please stop by and check it out. I think you'll enjoy it. :)

I now have two videos posted one from fs2004, and one hand made CGI movie.
The biggest update today is the Blue Angels page.
   I've posted a few more screenshots of my Aerial Foundry Blue Angels. There are now more than a dozen unique shots there.
I also have some Blue Angels DVDs for sale there.
I even have the Citizen Skyhawk JR3090-58L titanium watch that honors the Blue Angels.
If you click on the Blue Angels Patch on my page, it will bring you to the official Blue Angels website.
Look forward to your visit.

Just wondering, have you sold anything?
It looks kind of wierd to sell screenshots from FS.
If you were to sell screenshots,. perhaps you should try selling edits, like from Bobs site, were there are really talented editors.

No, I haven't sold anything yet, I've pretty much just gotten things rolling.
If you take a look, you'll see that it is only the edited screenshots that are for sale, not raw ones. I take a lot of time to "Photograph" these aircraft as to get just the right angle for an edit. Then I take multiple screenshots making slight adjustments so I can choose the perfect shot for the edit I have in mind. Then I edit the one I choose from and archive the rest.
It isn't the digital image for sale, it is the Giglee print of the image.
       Giclees use inkjet technology, but far more sophisticated than your desktop printer. The process employs six colors--light cyan, cyan, light magenta, magenta, yellow and black--of lightfast, pigmented inks and finer, more numerous, and replaceable printheads resulting in a wider color gamut, and the ability to use various media to print on. The ink is sprayed onto the page, actually mixing the color on the page to create true shades and hues.
The digital images are free to download and use as wallpaper.
I also have Digital artwork Giglee prints made by hand on the Renders page.
These images are my own, I don't sell other peoples artwork, for one thing I don't have the space on my site to offer uploading to the many talented people that create these fantastic edits that you see here and at ScreenShotPrints.com.
  This is pretty much an experiment that I hope will take off, if only a little bit. But I have always wanted to sell my other digital artwork, but haven't really had the means.
  I also have Joysticks and addon software for sale there too through Amazon. I went through and filtered out all of the items that didn't apply to aviation and FS2004, and posted those findings there, so that you don't have to dig too deeply to find the item you are looking for.
  I hope this clears things up for you a bit, and thank you for your interest in my site.

Im not an expert in edits, and hey, no hard feelings, but I think you should get more practice in editing before you start selling it. I`ve been looking through the some of the pics, and it looks like exhaust blur is what has been done, beharps a LITTLE lighning to some, but thats about it.

No hard feeling I hope ;)
