Do you mean their new DC-8-50?

Nice try, but I mean the Caravelle 6R in the United Airlines scheme.

It's part of this pack on Avsim - afg6rnhf.zip Granted it was only available for a few weeks before the hack, but it's back.

It's your screen resolution. Try dragging the right side of your browser so it fills the width of your screen. You'll see the image appearing.

On a 1024x768 screen you'll have to allow for the browser border, the left and right hand borders of the page being displayed, and all the poster information down the right hand side of the site page. After allowing for all this, there may not be quite enough pixels left to fully display an 800 pixel wide image.

Hi Fodda

Thanks but it's not the screen trimming off

I have a white area to the right of the pic..the text continues well past the right hand side of the image

Sorry for the late reply Ben...router issues had me off-line. I'm using IE 8. One other thing I noticed is that I am no longer able to use the smilies found on the 'view more smilies' page since installing IE 8.

Hi Brian,

I'm using IE8 here on the work laptop and the PC in the house. I've aske some of my colleages to check too, some using IE7 and some Firefox and we all see the same. Did you have any old plug ins or toolbars before you upgraded IE? Sometimes they cause problems

Hi Ben,
I believe I installed a popup blocker into my previous version of IE. Other than that I had a "virgin" install of IE.

Brian

I think that might be the problem mate, certainly in so far as the additional smilies. I'd roll back to IE7 and remove the popup blocker (IE does popup blocking anyway, so it should be that you don't need it or just need to adjust the sensitivity) then reinstall 8.

Uninstalled IE8 and the popup blocker. Rolled back to IE6...I guess I never made the move to IE7. All is well now. Oh, just for grins I installed IE7. The images once again appeared clipped and the "more smilies" did not function. Weird. Oh well, I'm perfectly happy with IE6. Thanks for all of your help, Ben.

Brian

HI Ben

I guess that's the reason I don't have the extra smilies either
