Is it just me?
For a few days I had been looking at Steve Hatton’s new Avatar.
A grass field and a bit of sky with possibly an aircraft in the murky distance.
A bit ‘tame’ thought I. Today it sprang into life and a Lancaster over flew.
Pretty impressive – I want one, I want one – only joking, but how do you do that Steve?

Mark 12,
Thanks for naming a thread after me, perhaps a memorial library next 😉 for achievements in avatar creation
Id seen an animated avitar on another forum and i was as perplexed as perhaps you were when you saw mine. Much searching and reading on the internet led me to a page which pretty much teaches you how to make one. They are Gif files and you can make them quite complex if you wish alhtough there is a limit on here not only in the dimensions of the image 70pix x 70pix max but also in file size. Im at home at the moment but will be back at uni by late evening, here i have the info on making them and i shall post it. Alternatively, send me a series of images no bigger than 70pix x 70 pix that make up an animation and i will construct one for you. Mine came from taking some stills from some of my video footage.
Best Regards, Steve

I found a few animated .gif files a while back of warbirds – if I find them, I’ll post the link.

Call them what you will. A Mustang is just the American way of getting a Merlin airbourne.:D

Nieuport 28
My Nie 28 deflected the needle further on the Decibel meter than a Spitfire’s Merlin.

Found it – let’s see if it works!
Nope – too damn big, and I dunno how to re-size a .gif file (is it the same way as a .jpeg or .bmp file?)

Somewhere abouts on this stinking pile of poo that I call a computer, there is a .gif file I have of a Spitfire – I shall dig it out.
