This shot was taken in the FS2004 Sim. I couldn't find a 757 for FSX. I also forgot to save the link where I found this one for FS2004. It was just not my day. If I can locate it again I'll add it to my entry.

Havent seen that livery since the '80's. It's a real one but Hughes AirWest just flew DC9's. In the days of passenger service, you always got a picnic basket with a small jug of wine on the flight. So why didnt service and legroom cost too much then?

ya, i had to use posky 757s in fsx, i really think this contest is a bit biased towards fs04 because of the glaring lack of 757s for fsx though.

great shot tho.

Glad you like it, but why do you say it is not the best resolution. Explain. The original bitmap was 1680 x 1050 which is the native resolution of my monitor. It was resized to 1024 X 640, saved as a jpg. and as close to 150k as I could get to stay within the requirements of this forum. There is not much you can do as far as compression goes. That depends on the picture itself. If I remember I didn't have to compress it that much to get it under 150k. So I can't see what you are saying. It looks just fine to me. The full size bitmap looks super. I wish they would let me post that one. Wink
