G-FORCES (not the VC!)

wow Hagar, you lucky &

[Politically Incorrect]

That is pretty neat Hagar!!!
Beautiful jet! Must have been one wild ride!!!
This weekend weather permitting I'm going to fly a T34 warbird that is here at my local airport. I cut a deal with the owner, I build him a clock of a T34 and charge him a flight in the T34.
There is a whole fleet of warbirds at my local airport and my goal is to fly in every one!!
I  would show a picture of the T34 but i don't know how.

" aeobatic display pilots regulary cope with + or - 9 G"

I thought that the max a human body can withstand was 9g's.

[Hagar]

I will have to check my facts on the G factors. That was off the top of my head.

Enjoy your trip in that T-34. It's a nice looking aircraft. I'm not sure how many there are about these days.

PS. Good old Google.

Aerobatic pilots were found capable to withstand -10+14g maneuvers without blackening out.
As a result, all recent Russian aerobatic planes are built with calculated maximum g-factor 22.5 and service g-factor 15;
More than 30 Su-26M fly in Russian clubs and 20 are in service all over the World.

Well i just tried to put a picture of the T34 here but nothing!
I uploaded it and pushed the button with the" picture"  in the " add YABBC tags"  and got this "img URL /img" I inserted the link the way the "upload success page told me but nothing happens what am I doing wrong?? I removed the brackets so that  what popped up would show.
I must have uploaded 4 pictures and don't have the slightest clue as to where they are or what happened to them!!

Check out Rifleman's sticky topic in the Freeware Screenshots forum. http://www.simviation.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?board=screen;action=display;num=1034608200

You must get the path exactly right with no spaces in between those [img] brackets. It's case-sensitive including the file extension. If your image is named fretnstuff01.JPG it's no good using fretnstuff01.jpg or Fretnstuff.JPG

[Politically Incorrect]

Here she is! I don't know why it is so big! The file is 800 and is 67kb.

There modified to JPG.

[Hagar]

Now that is nice. I always liked the all-yellow scheme best.

Your image is in the wrong format. BMP instead of JPEG (.jpg).

Rules for posting images on Simviation's forums

Please keep all screenshots/images in JPG format & less than 100K

I'm not sure how it worked as a BMP wouldn't (& shouldn't) usually display on this forum.
The image size is within the rules unless you or somebody else resized it.

PS. At 1.37 Mb the file size is WAY over the 100K limit.

[Politically Incorrect]

If you put your mouse pointer on the image and right click-properties, This is the info I get:
width-800
Height-603
size of file-62.93 (64441 bytes)

I used Irfanview to resize it and according to that program it is JPG format. So I don't know what the deal is.
I think you must have "image envy" :)

I went back and tried to resize the original again and I got the same thing (size and file size) so even if this is the wrong  forum please let me know what it is I might be doing wrong, I don't want to be using to much space on the site!!

[Hagar]

Not sure what's going on here. The file properties didn't show up for me from the right-click option as they usually would. Note the file extension is not displayed either.


I downloaded the image to check it out. It only gives the BMP option to save it in which means it's a BMP. When I checked the file size of the downloaded image in Windows Explorer it's 1.37 Mb.

PS. I figured it out. Try changing the path to include the .JPG file extension like this.

There is one of the uploads!
I first uploaded it and it was JPG. Then another somehow became BMP. Which was the one on there.
When I tried the link for the JPG photo nothing would appear. I didn't pay attention to the fact that in the link I was typing "jpg" instead of "JPG".
But I modified the picture so now I should be free from "moderator harrassment"
Now I have to figure out what I did that changed the one upload into a BMP image.
Thanks Hagar!!
I'll gather some of my favorite pics and post them in the photos forum later!!

[Hagar]

That's better.

I did point this out earlier.

The extension might be .jpg or .JPG depending on the graphics editor used to save the original image. I can only suggest that you or someone else uploaded the BMP. It's a good idea to give your images a unique name before uploading them to avoid conflicts. A file name like t34.JPG would not be too uncommon & someone else might have already uploaded an image with the same name. In this case yours would overwrite it & mess up their topic.

[Politically Incorrect]

I see your point, I must have uploaded the BMP because It is a picture I took.
I think I must have uploaded the same pic in a different format (BMP) over top of the JPG. That is why I was having so much trouble getting it to appear. Like i said I uploaded the photo about four times so anything might have happened.
I also remember when posting the link, when copying/ pasting I didn't remove the ".jpg" where you put in the name of your photo, the start of my problems.
I'll remember next time to give my photo's a little something special when nameing them!
I would hate to know that I might mess up someone else's post because of something like that!!
And by the way thanks for the slap on the hand!!
I read your instructions and those of Rifleman's to a T, and still didn't pay attention!!!!:)

Tsk Tsk. Grumpy rule #1. When in doubt RTFM...............!

A JPG would not overwrite a BMP. I suspect that you left the file extension off the path in your original post. This would explain why the file type showed up as unknown & why I could only download it as a BMP.

As for messing up someone else's post, I once did that myself. Ever since then I've used my own naming system. Of course, someone else could also mess up yours in the same way.

PS. Did you spot my not-so deliberate mistake?

If your image is named fretnstuff01.JPG it's no good using fretnstuff01.jpg or Fretnstuff.JPG

I plead insanity.

PPS. I am not a moderator, simply can't resist interfering.

[Politically Incorrect]

No I didn't notice the mistake!
I might have to hold that against you !!
Actually it proves a very good point, how easy it is to cause problems with something that should be simple!

" I plead insanity. "

It's ok, I think it has to do with all the abbreviations!!
jpeg,JPG,BMP,LOL,RTFM,ETC,etc!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm going to my rubber room to bounce off the walls for awhile!!:)
