Alrighty guys, this is it for some of you, and also the last chance for those who will be leaving after theme #5 to help your team gain the ultimate bragging rights.

After the scores from theme #5 are posted, they will remain hidden until the end of the comp at theme #10.

After Theme #5 is completed, anyone wishing to join as a competitor or judge is more than welcome. :)

It's only getting harder from here, so make sure you've got the time and dedication to continue. ;)

Hmm, does it have to be in the cockpit, or can it also be in the cabin?

Hmmm... Since it only says VC, I don't see why that can't also stand for Virtual Cabin. ;)

Opens up a lot of new possibilities huh? :D

Sorry but this theme is a joke

You don't have to download the scenery at all. I don't have it, and wasn't planning on getting it. ;) Sometimes it takes more than fancy scenery to make a great shot. :)

And the challenge here is the creativity of the shot.  I'm willing to bet, that I'll have a shot that looks like nothing that anyone else will post. ;)
There's nothing stating in the rules that you even need to see the airport. (I love technicalities ;D)

As for the theme being a joke, not my fault, being as this was a rematch of sorts, the first 5 themes are repeats of the original competition. I wouldn't have come up with this theme in a million tries.

The next 5 however are original, and certainly nothing like this one.

As for FSX having more eye candy, you need to look at the score ;) If NickN were in this contest running his stuff, then I would be worried, but since he's not, and I've got about 5 years worth of top notch freeware, I'm pretty confident that I can hold my own against anything FSX throws at me. 8-) (go easy on me TeamX ;D ;))



Looking back at the older thread with this theme, I can see that you didn't care for this theme then either, let this be the challenge for you then, your ultimate test of your creativity :). I have always admired your work for it's originality and creativeness, and I feel you could really shine here with the proper mindset. ;)

LOL Shane....you know you've been on SimV for too long when you don't realise the themes are identical to those used a year ago :P...If i'd realised sooner I would have used all my old shots :P

My bad.....still think it's an awful theme though...what was Danny thinking of :P

Good luck all :D

Come on all you VC flyers, it's time to show why you use that view. ;)


I'll kick things off this theme then. :)
