SALUTE Rattfink n Shifty

[Odee]

I was coming to Branch27's rescue as Rattfink in the 109 and Shifty in a 190 closed for the kill.  Caught Ratt in a long 90 degree snapshot, but he kept going for Branch.




Shifty nailed Branch and extended while I made sure Ratt's 109 was down for the count.


Shifty reversed and we danced briefly before I had to take my PW'd arse back to the barn.  Unfortunately, (or perhaps very fortunate for Shifty) was he ran out of gas as he egressed, but I was too banged up to go for a proxy.
 

Good fights guys, thanks

I couldn't figure out why you wouldn't go down and branch seemed to soak up hits in his 38.
Once my gas ran out and I was in the  process of ditching I noticed I forgot to turn my cannons on when I got rid of my drop tank.

Shifty was a test pilot for the landing skid of a 163....they soon found out DTs dont work

Yah I was missing an aileron and the PW and that was it.  Then I saw Ratt had his tank still on and wondered if you two were a couple of winging n00bs... until Shifty said he was outta gas.   That's when I started wondering why I wasn't shot down yet.

[Shifty]

Yes well if I  were to quit making mistakes, I just wouldn't be me.

  Uhm...  Here's a shot of you pointing out Branch's mistake.  Unfortunately he thought you gave him the finger and replied in kind.     Had one of the two of us passing in a merge but this looked soooo much better photgraph wise.

Odee, use the PNG format for those awesome screen shots, not JPG.

[Shifty]

I see my mistake now everybody else kept their drop tanks avoiding gun arming issues.

What's the reason for this Gav?

How?

[Anaxogoras]

PNG format does not cause those distortions you see between color borders.  Open the image in a program like paint, gimp, or photoshop, "save-as" and select the appropriate file type.  BMP is the highest quality, but it's far too large for emailing or viewing at a bbs.  PNG gives you better quality than a JPG, but without the cumbersome size of a BMP.

Here's the difference:

Thanks, will get a nice screen shot from the AvA later and try it

I never had any color bleed with JPG as I do with BMP  Maybe it's the # colors used in those formats?

I can see bleed in the images you posted.
