If you want to make brochures long and wide (like mine) try 'splitting' your brochure up into several pieces you can recognize where's the bottom. Use Paint (or its .net counterpart if you have it) then use the "Crop" tool ("Home" tab, next to the "Select" tool).

Each picture only allows 768 pixels for height, so that's why you're ending up with a tiny little brochure.

Then when you're pasting its direct link from an image-hosting site onto here, make sure the flashing "|" line is next to the previous image, without pressing "Enter". Do that step for the following pictures.

EDIT: As a finishing touch, you may link every segments to one link, which is the original, un-sliced image. Making a separate segment containing the KerbalX link, while making it blend nicely with the rest of the brochure also works. You may also link one of the other segments to somewhere else for a twist (like my brochure's Contact Information segment).

EDIT 2: Grammar check, "Fuel Use". Sounds better if you use "Fuel Consumption" instead. Not to mention...

Just two cents from me.

36,00 km??????

The thrust went down to roughly half on altitudes 2.5km ASL and above, the Delta-V is near-60,000m/s, yes.

EDIT: I've updated the brochure to feature the Category, Max. Passengers & Range in more detail.

EDIT 2: Now pricetag as well.

EDIT 3: Every picture on my brochure is clickable.

[How famous are you?]

7/10 You've dominated 6 5 slots in my Notification.

Aight, I've submitted my L-50 on the TKA Challenge thread just now.

[Is it ok that i use Mechjeb 2's autopilot?]

I used to play with MechJeb and yes, the "MJ is cheating" doctrine stuck with me recently. But I still have that mod installed.

For me, it's good for flying rockets, not planes. I recently did a lot of flying instead of going to space, and MechJeb's primary problem is that it's too aggressive in the Aircraft Autopilot. I mean, let's say your target altitude is 5km ASL. When it reaches it, it just pushed down real hard and then it went into a Phugoid Oscillation. Extremely bad for flimsy planes like mine here.

[How famous are you?]

2/10 Never saw you before...

[What did you do in KSP1 today?]

Pretty much busy making another two more planes to be up on the TKA Challenge thread. Introducing, Frontinco...

L-6

Aaaaaaaand...

L-600.

 

I also had Bill & Bob jumping outta the back (and left Jeb & Val in the cockpit) of my L-6.

Regarding on the L-6, yes,

1. There's contra-rotating turboprops. Why, because it cancels torque without the need for two engines turning opposite directions. And they look cool to me.
2. I've clipped two sets of 'engines' into each other to make that contra-rotating propellers.
3. I've put a Mk1-sized Heavy Rotor behind each R121 Turboshafts to give extra RPM, hence more power and spazzed out props.
4. I've had a Juno on it as well, but is more of a cosmetic rather than practically functional. In the end, the Turboprop is just a propeller stuck in the front end of a turbojet, right?

So it's not gonna be up on KerbalX soon (my WiFi suddenly became trashed by the time I posted this).

[[We need more posts! (Like seriously, a lot more)] Let's Make This the Megathread!]

Just updated my L-50 brochure. 'New' look (which the 'New' is just a highlight of a few new features I've added):

So yeah, I hope this'll be the final version before I release it on the TKA Challenge thread.

(And yeah, the Contact Details portion now does something useful)

Though, I'm not sure why you would use drain valves in the first place

Cough cough exploits cough cough

Or maybe just cosmetics cant say without knowing.

Well I have a 240+ ton Heavy and landings twice as hard as Ryanair's would break it. But I'm just putting it on mine mainly for engine-out situations.

Anyways the craft is almost ready to be submitted here, but then... I think I forgot to switch to "Vessel" Draining Mode on the FTE (so I believe it's on "Part" instead). I hope tomorrow's the day I can release it.

Anyways @HolidayTheLeek how's the exam?

EDIT: My submission is now up. Check it out.

[Trans-Kerbin Airways - Regional Jet Challenge 2: Electric Boogaloo]

@HolidayTheLeek I'm wondering whether submissions with the stock FTE-1 Drain Valve is allowed or not. I mean, it's stock, but 1.9 only. And that's the problem.

OK I just forgot to put the fuel-dumper part on my L-50. I was pretty much used to older versions even I'm on 1.9.1 already tho...

EDIT: PAGE 8?!

[[We need more posts! (Like seriously, a lot more)] Let's Make This the Megathread!]

Aight, FCTM & NormOps Manual for L-50 family complete. And this almost oofed my eyes (by the time I posted this which is close to midnight) as well as the basic accuracy of it.

Here it is. Been working for like 3-4 hours straight.

Nice plane, and I hope it's landings are butter.

And yes, the landings must be a butter. At least for the L-50-30. It's a long, heavy boi.

My range is over Long-Haul but the cruising speed is in short haul. What should I classify it as?

 

Special Category. Read the First Post carefully.

[Unlimited (or up to 2000px) image height]

Some of us may have struggled with adding 'tall' images into their posts (like mine in the spoiler).

And also, is the image height limit hardcoded into the forum engine?

Just finished making the infographic of my L-50 airliner.

(For some reason it won't get real huge).

It's a screenshot anyway...

Anyway I've just finished doing some photoshopping to make an infographic on my L-50.

I even got my logo transparent. And changed the motto. From this...

... to this.

EDIT: The last one's text was a bit loosy, so I've redone it.

For some reason, the thumbnail on my Imgur goes like this:

And pushing the introduction date of my L-50 family way over schedule.
