I should have it fixed. It now loads properly for me.<br /><br />The scaling issues comes down to this. I need standard size images to fit into the formatting of the site. The profiles are made to fit a specific size "window" and not sizing the window to the size of the aircraft. I use a standard size for the images, large are 600x300 pixels, thumbnails are 300x150 pixels. The dimensions are given in the specification section of the detailed description for that aircraft.<br /><br />The format was dictated by my objectives for the site. My main focus was for use in schools. It is impossible to be all things to all people. Unfortunately different viewers have different needs. It comes down to a compromise which will serve the most users. Adding scale three view drawings would mean a completely new set of graphics. At the moment I don't have the time to take on another large project. I know there are other three view line drawings out there. The problem is 1. I do not want to post other people's work because of copyright issues. 2. I would not use them because of poor line quality and inaccuracies in those drawings.<br /><br />CheersAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09744800442634708263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6013909801988779086.post-37553546464259837852012-05-24T11:44:46.205-05:002012-05-24T11:44:46.205-05:00Very nice profile.

I'd like to build some R-planes but even at small scale they are too big!!<br />Maybe in this profiles you have to add a fighter in scale to show how big these planes really are. <br />Ah, the page which shows your French aircraft profiles has some problem. It don't show the pictures.<br />Regards<br />LuisAlcideshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17314409686730239541noreply@blogger.com
