Overcompressed and needs Anti Aliasing

Anti Aliasing removes all the jaggies and turns everything smooth ( not an AA expert so others wioll have to help you there)

Also the file size is less than 50KB while the max is 100 KB a piece... What profram did you use to resize the pic? If not Irfanview... try irfanview

96? I have it showing as 43 kb...

The main issue is Anti Aliasing though... but I can't help you with that other than saying that you have to turn it on...

What are your system specs? Maybe someone can help :)

that a great shot for your first...like what has been already been said turn on your AA and one trick i use is i pause the sim then turn up all the sliders...you dont need to worry about frame rates while the program is pause. 8-) hope this helps and keep the shots coming 8-)

Go to your card's control panel and set AA to on. Go to Conrol Panel-Display-Settings Tab- Advanced. You should see stuff about your card and stuff about it from there. ;)

Take the advice of the people above. Also, the horizon looks bad. You should just chop that out of the picture. Or get a diferent view. Other than that I like the plane and water  8-)

ha ha, he said noob!
that aside, I'll just pretend that AA was turned on for my part of the critisiscm. To me the clouds further back look odd, but then again everything does from the air, and having the cloud behind the F-16 helps flesh it out a little (that's a good thing).
