Hmmm. So how come your shots are 800 x 600? Sorry Foz, I couldn't resist. Tongue

You are right Doug.... Grin

...!
...very confusing...
When I do "screen-shots" with "grab-clip-save" I have set the default size to 800 X 600, but I notice if I then try to upload between 6 and 8, (the max), at the same time, each one being often over the 100K limit I get the usual refusal.... Cry

...!
So I open each one up, reduce the resolution to 640 X 480, in Irfan View, and save them out again, usually around 60k in size.
I notice that even tho' I manipulate them in Irfan View they are getting saved out as MGI Photosuite images, (notice?)...mmmmmmm??
Maybe this has something to do with the 800 X 600 images being small in size, (kB).
...I'm going back to bed again, my brain hurts.. Cry

...!
LOL...LOL...LOL...!

Cheers Doug... Wink

P.S. ..I spend AGES fiddlin' about with the images desperately trying to get them below the 100k limit so that Uncle Pete doesn't throw them all in the dust-bin each time I try upload them... Cry

Thanks Paul. Let's see if I can clear up your confusion. From past experience I will confuse you even more. LOL
I suspect you resized these images to to 800 x 600 in IrfanView. There's no way the image size would mysteriously change. I recommend MultiGrab rather than GrabClip Save for taking the shots. http://www.mnwright.btinternet.co.uk/index.htm

You see those icons as MGI Photosuite files cos it's configured as the default program for opening JPEGs. (This is on your system only - I would see them as PSP7 icons.) This means if you double-click on the file icon of a JPEG image in Windows Explorer the image will automatically open in MGI Photosuite. This can easily be changed if you wish. Right-click on any JPEG file & select Open With from the menu. Select the appropriate program from the list & check the "Always use the program ....." option.

I noticed in another topic you mentioned using integrated graphics, not a separate 3D card. I suspect this is the main cause of the problem.

Actually the changes I made was a little more than just adjust the "aileron effectiveness"(.40)........I made changes to the wingspan, wing area, aileron areas and deflections, wing incidence, Stab area, elevator area, elevator travel, stab incidence, rudder areas and travel, and lastly, all up weight and C of G.....now it flies like it should....no bad habits..... oh yeh, I did also affect a change to elevator trim effectiveness and increased the drag on it ( it carried far too much energy after power was cut in level flight)........other than that, its the exact same plane that I downloaded..... Roll Eyes

........its still very sensitive, in fact I believe it still has the claimed roll rate of 270 Degrees/sec....

One more thing, I added a smoke system to it.......

Rifleman, all of the above there i calculated off the plans (for the real thing) - I ain't gonna argue on that but I am glad that you like the aircraft enough to sit down & modify it!!

If you get time, can you send over the mod? I would like to see the difference!

Fozzer, interestingly that (has terrain mesh installed) is what the real countryside looks like from 2000' AGL --> FLAT!!

Mate, if i look to the north of our local aerodrome i will only see one hill stick out - if i look to the west, south & East its a lot more undulating.
