Alright! Portfolio Gallery updated  8-)

Back to the Cage gallery next..... but now I'm off to fly for an hour  :D

Looking forward to these weather shots, might have to give it a go this time, if I get a mo next week...

Interesting theme, most of my shots have some interesting clouds in them so im having a hard time choosing  ;D

Cool, I'll take a shot at this.

Question: I know it says payware aircraft are allowed, but what about payware weather programs allowed like Active Sky?

[aussiewannabe]

I suspect that payware might keep me out of the running but went looking in my .bmp files and found this:

Payware aircraft I can deal with as many freeware planes are nearly as good. But for something like this, where weather is the focal point, wouldn t those that have programs for weather (Active Sky) be an unfair advantage? There are so many different types of aircraft out there, freeware and payware that it can be competitive. Those of us that just have default FSX/2004 etc... cant get the cloud formations and such that Active Sky provides. I may be completely off here, but those are just my thoughts. Will still enter either way.

I'm going to give it a shot as well, but that's what I was wondering too  :-?.

Hi there - just writing to clarify in answer to your questions:

Yes, payware (all of which is allowed) will always give anl 'unfair advantage'.... ...as will use of photoshop which is also allowed.

Beautiful pics, Vodka Burner, but don't forget that for the JC comp you can only nominate one shot...

[aussiewannabe]

Just look at Aussiewannabe's freeware winner in the Gallery - an amazing shot, and (presumably) no payware in sight!

You presume correctly, Roger. No payware in sight. Freeware used - FSSkyWorld, VOZ and Nick's LightFix_V2.

As to ActiveSky, I suspect SimV members can spot that in a screenshot.

Well here we go then! Heres my ditty for this week....
