Those asking about background pictures in my User Viewer.
I use it all the time with my own background.
Take a screenshot or picture you want and resize it to 2560 x 1600 save it as a jpg and name it splash.
In your graphics folder were your skins are look for the textures folder.
Create a new one in the texture folder and name it userviewer.
Put your new picture you named splash in userviewer folder. That's it.
Full path would be C:\Program Files\Rise of Flight\data\graphics\textures\userviewer.

Sample:

Musciman,

Thanks for that info. Also, your planes look nice and jaggie free. How are you acheiving that because your previews look real nice.

Are you talking about the image itself being jaggy free?
I use Fraps for taking the screenshots when using user viewer.
This way it only captures the plane itself as shown in sample.
Then I just resize it to like 1024 X 768 for posting.
My desktop is set at 1680 x 1050 and the screen capture will come out at 1448 x 904.
If you mean the ingame shots it's because I disabled post effects and can use vid card over ride for 4x antialiasing forced on with igame setting at none and 8x anisotropic.
This shot I'm posting here is direct from Fraps takin as jpg.
I also forgot to memtion to save your pic for the user viewer background as a jpg.
