Would I have anything to say about FS if I weren't able to run FS?
Your screenies are difficult to view on a small screen. I figured that you're oblivious to this fact due to having gotten used to a larger wide screen yourself.
Regardless of my own plight, I'm sure there are still many other small monitor users who'd like to enjoy your screenies but give up after a while because you don't resize them. _________________

And also the question I put yourself was misinterpretated by yourself, I thought that you were asking if you could join and fly with RAFv with a small screen monitor. I then misinterpretated your response and tried to post a witty comment lol, still serves me right
I hope that this image is a more suitable size for all of the forum to enjoy, it depicts our Lead QFI (Qualified Flying Instructor) instructing two of our recruits at 1EFTS, RAF Cranwell. The aircraft shown is the Slingsby Firefly. We are encouraging pilots to become QFI's once they have gained the sufficient flying hours and skills required, then they must pass through a tough lengthy checkflight which can last up to 10 hours (in several flights). This ensures that all QFI's are experts and an excellent quality of pilots coming through the process are exceptionally well trained in all skills I ensure you that there is always something to be learned!

Here you can see a 3 Squadron Eurofighter Typhoon F2 along side a Tornado F3, in the background you can also see two more CBY callsigns which are RAF Conningsby based Typhoons. You may also see COT callsigns for RAF Cottesmore Harrier Gr9's. This image was taken whilst on a training exercise, 3 Squadron and 111 Squadron are escorting the strike force of 1 Squadron and 9 Squadron.

Its not all war! We also simulate Humanitarian operations, heres a couple of images from the recent Sudan operation. You can see two C-130's from 24 Squadron and 2 Chinooks from 78 Squadron picking up supplies. We have our own scenery designers, aircraft designers, aircraft painters, IT specialists... everything!
And here are the boys from 78 Squadron delivering the much needed supplies to a small remote village.

A Westland Lynx from the Boscombe Down Aircraft & Armament Experimental Establishment. A modified Westland Lynx still holds the world helicopter speed record, its also capable of carrying troops and an impressive load out of weaponry.

Thanks The Tornado - one of my favorite aircraft!
What am I saying... they're all my favorites.
Are you using DSB/IRIS? _________________
