With regard to this thread:

http://www.simviation.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1207669995

Would it be possible to have a a sticky "cockpit pictures" in the photo forum where only cockpit pictures could be uploaded. Quite a few of us manage to get them. It would be a good point of reference for other members and they are always a point of interest for those who cannot get to see these things "live" so to say. We can all see many different aircraft each day on the photo forum, but things like cockpit pictures tend to get lost as they fall down the page numbers.

If someone could manage it we could send him or her 150kb thumbnails? Maybe do it studioV gallery style and post cockpit shots per plane?

I don't think it is necessary as almost never a person gets to go in the cockpit and it would die out fast.

I could see a way it could work, in such that the thread effectively be an index (either with thumbnails or text), to a larger hosted image. That would cut down on the excessive size of multiple photos.

I reckon it would populate fairly quickly.

I totally agree. We should really consider this.

I have a couple of cockpit photos too. Wink
