YAY, another great theme, what a contrast to last month!!

Now then, just got to get my picture worked out. I'm thinking a Learjet 45, set at Fly Tampa's Dubai scenery, in 400x1800 resolution taken with a really cool W&F angle. What do you think?

Thje only problem with that is that you registered prior to April 1, 2006.
So I guess your entry would not be legal!  ;D

Can I start whining yet?  ;)  What a great, great topic. I can't wait to get started...nice work mods, you've outdone yourselves this month. Lots of room for creativity and drama.

NO,
That is a new rule!!!!!!!!

It has been determined that allot of the people who just pop in here to compete and do not read the rules, are the ones that cause the most grief during the competition.

This contest was created for our users, not those who come here just to win a prize!
Last month there were over a dozen posts from newbies posting only to compete! They had only 1 post and seamed to have no regard for the site's guidelines and just posted a shot.
Then came the "That does not count, blah, blah, blah.."

I want to avoid it this time.

We are actually thinking for next month's comp to keep it still at the April 1, 2006 date therefore requiring TWO months prior registration before competing!

It will be simple, if somebody posts a shot who has not registered prior to April 1, 2006, it will simply be deleted!
No warnings, no edits of their post, a simple delete!
The reason, they obviously have not read the site rules!  ;)

That seems* like a very smart decision Dave, I was just wanted to make sure it wasn't a mistake.


*seem, seems, seemed
 seem, seems, seemed
 seem, seems, seemed
 seem, seems, seemed

Not - seam, seams, seamed

(It's a joke everyone, I'm doing this because it was also referred to in another thread - all in good fun! )

Maybe I should take up sewing  :P

Awsome D00DE rember to host on photobucket to get round that peasky 100kb bug in the smv upload script!!111

Now this could be interesting, already uninstalling Flight Enviroment to grab a couple of shots  ;D

Dave, that P-38's very nice, but it's clearly payware and the picture doesn't meed contest guidelines.
:-/
I recommend you read the rules before posting a pic....

Dave is happy that Staiduk ran away giggling or Dave may have been beaten to a pulp by Staiduk when he told him that the P-38 is free and available here on Simviation and the Photoreal scenery is also free.  ;D

doesn't the fact that they dont read the rules kind of defeat the purpose of the rule

[Airshow_lover]

COOOLLLL!!!!!!!

I'm going to have some fun with this one!

[Harold]

Great new rule, Dave  ;D , although it's a teenie wheenie bitsy unfortunate for me!  :'(

I was already dusting of my good ole Lancaster but ....

Ah, nevermind ... I'll just watch this match from the bench.

Hopefully you don't think of a new rule next month.

And of course: LET THE BEST PHOTOGRAPHER WIN!
It was a thrill to see the action from the side as a newbie!

That's what I was thinking. I hope I can get my FS to run!

i'd better host the picture on photobucket just to make sure I don't go oversize! Perfect, when do I collect my prize?

Y'know you could make the shot even better by making sure it is not only over the SimV 100kb limit, but that it's over Photobucket's limits aswell.

Also, if you could edit the picture & contravine some sort of copyright somewhere I'm sure it could only help. Maybe you could do an F14 with Tom Cruise jumping up & down on the seat like a lunatic (with Oprah as Navigator).

I'd vote for that.
