Stillwater Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 It sounded to be an easy task for the engines to fly down from about 9000 ft (Quito) to about 0 ft altitude (Guayaquil). So we got ready for that little commuter flight in a trusty DC-3 in a regional paint... ... but climbing out of the valley already brought the engines to their limits! El Cotopaxi hidden behind the clouds... ... as well as the Chimborazo. Finally a chance to cool the engines while descending to follow Rio Babanhoyo... ... towards Guayaquil. Very uncomfortable how I use Imgur today: For each individual picture I created the BBcode and copied them all separately. Is there a better way?

I have exteded the post a bit, John, with lots of single copy-pastes. At least you should have another look... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffy Foster Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Real nice pix! I like my Flickr for my flying pix, partly because I can load directly from Lightroom to Flickr and then have nice albums for each flight on there too. Still have to copy the BBCode for each to the forum for posting though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VH-KDK Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Beautiful images and story Gerold. I am using Imgur too and I have to do the same. I bit easier now that I have finally worked out how to get the BBC code but still have to do individually. Oh well better than nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orbxtreme Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Very nice shots Gerold, it is always surprising how high altitude drains the power of those standard engines! As for Imgur, it was my first experience with it with the Timkenumo post. I had to paste every single shot individually and make a note of what the image contains since Imgur changes the name of the file to something that says absolutely nothing. Then I realized that there was also a possibility of posting the same shot twice. So I selected the preview post in Orbx to check out that everything was fine. I prefer the old way with fsfiles.org, much quickier with less chance of making a mistake...! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Lars Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Wonderful shots Gerold and I copy the Imgur-codes each one separately, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have had the same problem with Imgur by posting the same image twice. Fsfiles are much easier and better for me and also it is what I am used to.

Though... if you have to copy each BBCode separately it does not seem much easier with flickr. 18 hours ago, jean marc said: Very pleasant travel - I love particulary the one of Cotopaxi with the elegant DC3 profile - Thank you Gerold !!!

You say it Martyn, better than nothing. But me no like this waste of time, I´d prefer to use it for commenting, flying or even installing new things! 13 hours ago, Orbxtreme said: Very nice shots Gerold, it is always surprising how high altitude drains the power of those standard engines!

I prefer the old way with fsfiles.org, much quickier with less chance of making a mistake...! Indeed, the power loss of the pistons was amazing, Francois. Only the (standard) ATC did not know about this and was frequently calling me to accelarate climb! I see you face the same challenges than I do with Imgur. Not too satisfying, may be this will dry out the screenshot forum here a bit ... 13 hours ago, Captain Lars said: Wonderful shots Gerold and I copy the Imgur-codes each one separately, too.
