Screenshots are weird in this sim. You need to convert from a .tga to a .jpg and I'll be damned if I get the reason behind it
There is a reason... JPEGs are compressed at all quality levels (just less so at the top end quality level for JPEGs) and they always introduce compression artifacts. Plus it takes more CPU time to compress something. A TGA is a higher quality format, it's very very simple, and it's basically a straight dump of pixels. So it's not bad for dumping out of a game engine with minimal fuss. Also consider that the screen shot dump for the IL-2 engine was probably programmed in the late 1990s.
