While your enthusiasm and love of this hobby is to be congratulated, I can't stand to download another one of your damned aircraft "what-ifs".

Not only do they all look pretty much the same (with just a few color changes here and there), they are also all stored in BMP format, which means the image has to be downloaded to our PCs in order for us to view them (or atleast, we can't just see them on the page in DAC).

Can you PLEASE try and change the format of your pics. Not only is viewing a BMP image more difficult than viewing a .jpg or .gif, a BMP image is also MANY times larger in terms of file size than either of the other two formats.

Each of your aircraft images is nearing 1MB in size, compared to perhaps 100K for a JPG image. Your pictures are a drain on the DAC resources...... Boooo.
