Hello,

I would like to post some pictures on the screenshot gallery, but the size of the pictures I took for my first flight are about 7.44MB, and the maximum size allowed is 1024kb. How do you resize them?

You can use windows paint. There is a resize option there, plus you can save as a jpg instead of bmp. That alone makes a big difference in picture size.

Understood. One more question: how do you take a picture in flight as .jpg instead of bmp? I used the "V" key but that is bmp. Is there a better solution?

By default the pictures in fs are saved as BMP files, this is why MS paint or an equivalent program must be used to capture or convert to jpg

There's quite a few free "screengrab"/"screenshot" programs available that will save immediately to PNG or JPG. This saves on the hassle of converting the file format and means your flight pictures will take up a lot less space on your computer as well  :)
