I honestly think the X Men got slaughtered in this round. Its hard to have an AI contest when 99% of the AI out there is made for FS9 and when the models are ported into FSX they just look straight up weird.

I mean there certainly are some good attempts here but AI is a strong point for FS9.

Looking forward to those results and the next theme. How many themes are there going to be?

i agree with you about the AI for FS9 but the AI that i used in my shot is not from or for FS9...it is the free download from FTX that contains FSX AI for Australia ;)

also shane i dont know what my fellow simmers think but i would not have a problem if this contest goes for more then the 5 themes like last time ;)...just a thought

I thought they were getting harder! ;D I had a hell of a time finding a good shot for this theme. ;D ;) I've got a couple more worked out now which should provide a good challenge after the original 5 are done. 8-)

For going with an extended theme count, we would have to work in a solution for people wanting to exit/enter the competition as participants and judges. Now that SubZer0's got his system up and running again, I'm pretty sure he won't want to stay a judge, and it would also be nice to keep teams at an even number to make the scoring system stay fair and balanced. You FSX guys out there are starting to outnumber us FS9 guys! :D

Maybe we could even draw some Xplane people into this and have ourselves a triple threat match! ;D ;)

Scores coming in today, and the results and next theme up shortly after. :)

I think I will drop out of Team X if you join. I haven't really had time to take screenshots lately.

Would you like to swap places and become a judge? :)

If not, totally understandable. ;)
