Good to hear your enjoying it. As I said before, I'm looking forward to the 6600GT comming out soon. It's basically a 6800GT that's been cut down to 8 pipes and only has 128-bit memory. It's supposed to be 20% faster than the 5950 and 9800XT and it's MSRP is $200US. Sounds like a good deal to me.

I only pretend to know what I'm talking about. Heck, that's what lawyers, car mechanics, and IT professionals do everyday. Wink

Well, the modem isn't really fried, it's just really working big time, so I saw the first half of one pic and it look great!

I'll download the rest of your pics tonight and view them in the morning! Grin

Cheers!

Blimey...!

1424 X 854.... Shocked

...!

That took ages to download, and streches across two monitors... Shocked

...!

Just thinking. Wouldn't we all get fantastic shots like that if we were allowed to post them larger than 800 X 600.... Wink

...!

My 1280 X 1024 shots all look fantastic until I have to reduce them to 800 X 600, or less, to post here... Wink

...!

By the way....what happened to the "shadows"...?

Cheers Gixer... Grin

hmm just noticed that gonna go look lol. I know they work as I have been landing from spot view. Its probably Irfanview playing up. Sometimes I just get a pic of the runway, shadow and no plane ??? have to re-start fs then Irfanview works ok.

Im flyin on 1600x1200 but cropped em down a bit.

Edit: Yup shadows working it was Irfanview being stupid Sad

I have been playing and made a few backdrops for desktop which I think are quite nice. You can view them here

http://www.ascl30.dsl.pipex.com/Paul_page_1.htm

Its the pics under the little title Backdrop Pictures. They are all big pictures though 1600x1200 and I have used PSP7 to alter the colours ever so slightly etc just to make them look even nicer than they are to start with Grin
