I hope you keep your room (or house) in cleaner shape than that plane! ;)

It's Juneau...there's a ton of free add-on scenery for that area (Hank's Trading post is a must-have)...have you checked it out?

Nice shots of that bird that's seen a lot of use!

I just upgraded from FS 98 last week.  I've downloaded a ton of scenery, but I've been having too much fun to stop and add it in.

I trust that these shots lost a lot of quality in compression?

What program are you using?

They look like decent angles, lighting, etc, if you can get the compression working a little better..;-)

I pasted and saved them in Microsoft Paint and cropped them using Microsoft Photo Editor.  I downloaded Yankee Clipper III today, for getting screenshots.  Haven't decided which photo editor to use yet.  Anybody have a favorite?

Pixresizer as well (makes for resizing several shots at once easier)...I also use FSScreen to save the shots whenever I hit Print Screen...that way you don't have to exit! :)

I absolutely love that airplane! It has been my new favorite for a month or so, and Im taking it on a trip around africa (screenshot journal to come). Though, havnt you noticed an almost 50% loss of power at high altitude? the way I got around it was to essentially give it a new set of engines by copying the engine data from the AC680 .cfg file, the entire .air file, and some of the guages (for the new engines). Basically it is now an AC680 with the old AC500 dirty paint job, and it works like a charm. If only I had thought of this before crossing the mountains of Rowanda.

Yep, I'ts a great flyer.  I'll have to think about those engine edits.
