SOME ADVICE

FIRST: Don't be hasty in navigating on these pages, wich include pictures only and then they are ill-suited to hasty people.

How you can take your photos.

• The simplest way of taking a photo is to press on the STAMP key (it is the antepenult key of superior row in the win-keyboard) after you have chosen the best point of view. This pressing on STAMP key will save in win-clipboard the picture you are watching on your monitor. This picture can be pasted (by an easy "Paste") and retouched through a common graphic tool, e.g. Paint of win95-98. Warning: each pressing on STAMP key will save in clipboard that you are watching on your monitor, and then if you don't save this picture (by "Paste" and "Save as ..."), it will be overwritten in clipboard when you press again on STAMP key, and it will be not possible to reload it.
• If you use a 3dfx graphic card, this procedure (STAMP key, "paste" and "save as ...") is not utilizable. So you can capture that you are watching on your monitor ONLY by a "little big" program named HyperSnap (shareware). It is in nearly every magazine's cd.
• If you don't use a 3dfx graphic card, instead of the first procedure (STAMP key, "paste" and "save as ..." one picture each time by a graphic tool), you can and even you must make use of CLIPMATE, a very useful program which allow you to save in s special win-directory ALL the pictures you have captured during your flights WITHOUT leaving f.s. program, simply by repeated pressing on the STAMP key. Once the flight finished, you can review all the captured pictures and than you can choose those you like more, paste and save them on a praphic tool and ...at last, please, send them to me ! Also Clipmate is shareware. It is downloadable from Clipmate web site: type "clipmate" on addresses bar of your browser and then press on the Return key.
• If you don't make use of 3d graphic card in your flight ... know that flying by 3d graphic card is much better graphically than flying by 2d. But I will publish also 2d photos.
• Of course the photos will be published in jpg format and the just load of each picture is 40-50 kb (=generally nearly 700x400 pix.). Then, once you have chosen the pictures to send, please don't send them to me in original dimensions and format (too much heavy), but select the central part of each picture ("select" is a normal procedure in every graphic tool) and save it in jpg format (ideal jpg compression is nearly 80 % of optimate value).

How you can send your photos to me.

Attached to an e-mail on wich you should write all these imformations (if it is possible):

• NAME OF PILOT
• NAME OF AIRCRAFT
• NAME OF VIRTUAL AIRLINES
• NAME OF AIRPORT AND TIME OF TAKE-OFF
• NAME OF AIRPORT AND TIME OF LANDING
• FLIGHT PLAN
• CAPTIONS BELOW THE PHOTOS
• ORIGINAL NAME AND AUCTOR OF SCENERIES / PANELS WHICH ARE VISIBLE ON THE PHOTOS (AND WEB SITE OF DOWNLOAD)

Of course, I know it's very annoying to find all these informations, but it is the only way of making sceneries, panel, aircraft and other addons you used known to all the people.

Other advice.

Send at most four photos to me from each flight, but it's not a peremptory rule.

Please, don't press on the STAMP key when you are really flying,

because your plane could crash down (especially if it's landing), if your hands leave the joystick:

capture your photos from REPLAY (it's one of the most useful functions of a f.s.)

  Well, now it is your turn !

Happy flying and ... don't forget your photo-camera !
