Not bad for your first screen shot. Heres a tip tho, remove the command bar by pressing num lock and then press "." on the num pad.

Should get round to post some of my screen shots.

Nice shot, but I'd recommend not posting 1+ Megabyte screenshots in png format in forums in the future. Use a paint program to convert them to JPEG for 1/10 the file size. Much quicker loading times, the viewers will be grateful.

Flag4, open the .png file in any paint program, then simply save it as a JPEG file. Many paint/photoshop programs also offer some kind of control how much JPEG compression you want to employ, but simply saving the pic as JPEG will do.

The .png pics don't cause problems per se, it's simply a chore watching a 1+MB pic load (especially from a slow host like imageschack), when the same pic as JPEG will load pretty much instantly.

Very nice screenshot :up:

For posting pictures, I recommend Dowlys HOWTO.

I reduce my screenshots down to 640x480. For subsim it is a good balance between loading times for all readers and the details of the picture
