I agree.
Another thing: some images seems to lack AA, for example "787gskb9".
A third issue:
http://flightgear.org/Gallery-v1.0/Source/seneca-flash.jpg
http://flightgear.org/Gallery-v1.0/Source/Rescue_1.jpg and several more images
got really bad jpg artifacts that are visible even on the thumbnails.
Seems like someone compressed a jpeg compressed image instead of basing them all
on a looseless original. The result is that the artifacts add up and the images
look bad. For best result all the smaller images should be generated from a
looseless image. And I think the full sized images should use png or very high
quality jpeg.
