...I will be donating it to someone here at SimV who really deserves to have a little payware fun but can not afford to to buy such luxuries.


That's a nice gesture Nick, hats off to you.

Congratulations Nick! You very well deserved that one!

And what a generous offer it is to donate your prize to someone less fortunate. Hats off!

It would be nice if SimV raised the size and weight of shots to accommodate the modern hardware out there. 1024x768 (4:3) and 1024x640 (wide screen ratio) at 150Kb would work and thread limits of 600Kb.

Nooooo! At the moment, the SimV forum won't let anyone like me on a 1024x768 res' see the whole of an 800x600 pic, allowing bigger ones would be like seeing them through a letterbox!!

Congrats mate, you had my vote, just a stunning compostion.

Raising the thread limit by a mere 100K would go a long way to allowing more detail to be seen in shots. Us guys on wide screen really suffer because we have to think way ahead to how small the image will end up compared to the original.


We are currently discussing this  :)
COMING SOON!

Awesome!  Still it limits widescreen users, widescreen shots should be allowed a larger resolution so they get the same screen area.
