Waiting at the dock for passengers on an early morning tour of St. Maarten.  Some storms seem to be forming in the distance, but they should clear by departure.

Thanks guys! I tried to capture a "scene" as opposed to just a plane. 

Cpt. Metcalf, that's a nice little addon package isn't it?! Lots of stuff to see.  Shocked

Yeah it's a real nice add on mfaulisi, I took a hour like ah lil kid playing "Where's Waldo" just flying all over the island trying to find new stuff in it not in the default and was really surprised by all the cool new stuff I found.....I also like your other link for the waves and found that site to have a bunch of cool stuff too! Thanks for sharing, I did a real quick new screenshot showcase showing off some the stuff, but just cant show it all with the pic limit in this forum, but folks should be able to get a ideal from some of the shots I posted. Cool

it is possible to go over the 650Kb limit, all you have to do is remove the and tags from the images that make it go over.

But knowing you, you'll find a way, and it'll turn out being one of the best shots I've ever seen and will look FSX quality.

Tell me about it.  I'm trying to get a shot good enough to enter, but they keep ending up so big and high quality, I have to do MAJOR quality reductions to keep it below the 155kb mark.  And by then it always looks HORRIBLY pixelated. Cry

What program are you using to reduce them?

paint.NET and I already got shots, I'm trying to pick which now.

that  looks GREAT Cool Cool Shocked
 

Most people think that flying a plane is dangerous, except pilots because they know how easy it is.
Arguing with a pilot is like wrestling with a pig in the mud, after a while you begin to think the pig likes it.
