Got to admire this pilot, I get vertigo just looking at these screenshots of the Rehberg/Lehman FS2004/FSX freeware glider, I think i'd definitely prefer being enclosed in a proper cockpit comfort zone-

Cool

"Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth and danced the skies on laughter silvered wings. Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth of sun split clouds.....and done a hundred things you have never dreamed of.....wheeled and soared and swung high in the sunlit silence. Hovering there, I've chased the shouting wind along and flung my eager craft through footless halls of air.

Up, up the long, delerious, burning blue I've topped the wind swept heights with easy grace where never Lark, nor even Eagle flew. While with silent lifting of mind I've trod the high untrespassed sanctity of space, put out my hand and touched the face of god"

I replied to your PM. Details in my response

Another thing:- i've got dozens of FSX screenshots and aviation photos at Photobucket (here's one page below), but they're all in GIF format because i find that gives the best resolution on my system, but they're all bigger than the 155kb forum size limit, so i can't post them.
They display fine in all the other gaming and simming forums I go into, so why can't Simviation handle them too?

Okay, Chuck advised me in a PM what to do, so let's try this one, it's 1000 wide and 149kb size so hopefully it should work-

Freeware Lockheed Orion over Hawaii-

Another couple of things I'd like to ask-

1- Can the font size in posts can be made bigger?
I know we can enlarge it by holding CTRL and rolling our mouse wheel, but that also expands screenshots and makes them overlap the edges of the screen. It's just the text i need to enlarge, not the pictures.

2- The forum text in posts is dark grey on a light grey background, making it hard to see, so is there any way to change the font colours to a straight black?
