Posted: Tue Sep 15, 2009 10:04 pmSorry for not adding text to my post, wanted to get the screenie up in time.
Shot was taken in FS9 using the default C172. The foreground is from a series of panel.bmps that can be added to any panel.
Hope you enjoy it, I think it meets the theme criteria.

Joe

Nice shot, but I don't think this shot is going to qualify. Rules state NO EDITING

Yo Bob, this shot is un-edited with the exception of being resized to fit forum guidelines.

Well Joe you said yourself "The foreground is from a series of panel.bmps that can be added to any panel." That sounds to me like editing but It's up to Dave to make the call. He's running the show.
I really do like the shot though.

I think editing is altering the photo after it is taken.

So it isn't edited and it is looking out of a window so i think it counts!
+1 FOR GREAT CREATIVITY

I forgot all about this addon, you would love it Bob!
It replaces the 2d panel of any plane with what you see in his pic.
There are several 'windows' to choose from. It makes spotting at your favorite airport, a little more 'homey'. 8-)
Nice one Joe.
Good luck!

Re: Penthouse
Posted: Wed Sep 16, 2009 4:48 pmWell way to go Joe. I learn something new everyday. I'd like to learn how to do this myself. Any chance you could post the step by step process to create this type of screen-shot?

Posted: Wed Sep 16, 2009 5:10 pmThanks to all for the kind comments!
It's a pretty simple modification, really. You add the .bmps to your panel folder and edit the panel.cfg.
Then you go park your plane somewhere and press W twice to turn off the 2D panel. Then you bring up this foreground, or 1 of the others, just like you bring up the GPS or the radio stack.
The file is from Avsim and here is a link - http://library.avsim.net/esearch.php?DLID=63128
I had forgotten about it until a few days ago when I stumbled across it in the deep, dark reaches of my hard drive while looking for something unrelated. Seemed the perfect opportunity to use it.

Thanks a bunch Joe. This is really cool. If I hadn't questioned your screen-shot I'd have never known about this little trick. [smiley=beer.gif]
