oh trying to land at the airport to take cover too...while in the dark

No offense but is this a serious entry??? I can't even see anything. :-?

I got a black box

I can see the plane tho.
Just not the snow


And some advice on shots in the future: I would take the red text out(as in don't take the screenshot with it there)
This plays a big role in screenshots imo

Then as others said, it is a bit dark, i know it is "extreme" weather, but you don't want the shot "too" dark.
And the red text is a little blurry, you have AA on?

AA? and I dont know how or why the red test turned on...been trying to figure out how to turn it off, and I guess worst case if i need to re take the picture and just make it lighter I could...but yea tis my entery, its landing at night with 0.1Km visibility

oh and look at the plane its self, you should see white "Lines" thats from the weather (snow)...it was hard enough to keep it flying as it was and then snap the picture using a free screen shot program that I stumpled on in the simV utilities area...its called snap shot

Anti Aliasing(or how ever it is spelled) it is in display options. the Red text you have is removed by Default with Shift+Key.
Now note: you cannot enter another shot, or change the shot you entered (rule 6).

i know, I just dont want to remove the shot since its my first one and I want to see if I could even compeat with the veterans but thanks for the info ill try the shift+key (Z is it? ill consult my key books) as for antialising ill try cranking it to holy $h!t and seeing if that helps for next month

Yes shift and Z
some how my thing auto corrected for me :-?

then is should default to Shift+Z... :-/wierd if you had it set to a different key and it just mysteriously reverts to the default....

I can see the plane and the snow

The red text seems to come on when using the slew mode, maybe thats what happend here?

I wish...it is there because I had hit shift+Z by mistake and couldnt figure how i turned it on (never new about shift+Z untill yesterday...but at least I know now how to finially turn it off so I can get rid of it (its been there since last year lol)...anyways I can't wait to see who will win, and what next month will provide! Kinda wish we could come up with ideas too
