wouldn t those that have programs for weather (Active Sky) be an unfair advantage? Those of us that just have default FSX/2004 etc... cant get the cloud formations and such that Active Sky provides.

You may be right but you surely can come very close. Just take a look at the Screenshot Hall of Fame. Those are all winners of the Screenshot Contest in which payware is not allowed.

If you want to produce good screenshots you have to invest time, both to learn the skillz and to make money to improve your sim

Great words Roger! I believe that I am a living example of someone who invested time and money in getting my sim and skills to where they are today. I've been around here for just over two years and if you'd compare the shots I made then to the ones I take now, you will (hopefully) see a huge difference. And although I have a really well balanced machine, it is not a monster and it is four years old. So I cannot compete with the 'boys with the big toys'. But I've learned so much in here about balancing a machine and how to take nice screenshots. That is something money can't buy ...

And to prove it I produced the (hopefully) nice screenshot below. I only installed FS Sky World and Real Environment Pro into an otherwise all default Flight Simulator.

A (ahem) screenshot artist can get great results out of FSSkyWorld and other freeware atmosphere addons anyway

Exactly ... and eventhough I have not used both aforementioned add-ons in a long while I think they are amazing pieces of freeware! Check it out!



NICE FLYING WEATHER

Ok, I finally got an idea.

A nasty storm surrounds the slopes of Mt. Everest and the mountains nearby. This uses the new high resoultion Everest scenery by Frank Dainese.

After a looong (too long) hiatus from FS, I decided I should post something to get back in the swing of things.
