Hi, while its most likely out the question for FSX, I thought it could be kinda cool to have random splash screens. I know its easy enough just to change them, but it since we now have a screen shot folder, maybe they could used on start up.

Someone could probably write a little .NET app that swaps it with stuff from your screenshots folder every so often.

It would take some doing, and someone more knowledgeable then me, but it's possible someone could make a program to randomly use a pic from the screenshot folder when you start FSX. But the bitmaps might require resizing (1024x768 minimum resolution vs 800x602? splashcreen size) and they wouldn't say Flight Simulator X or anything.I imagine it would be a program where you start the splash screen changer, which changes the splash screen, and then launches FSX for you. The resizing (if needed) might take a little time, and would make it a little harder to code. (Curiously enough, the default splash screen is 800x602, which is a somewhat odd resolution and would mean 1024x768+ images would be stretched a bit when resized. Unless that 602 is a mistake and the image should have been 600.)A program that swaps between existing splash screens, already in the right dimensions, (randomly or not) would be easier to code. I could probably make something like that, and without using .net. :-p"Let me help you out. You're cleared to taxi any way you can to any runway you see."
