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!  Grin

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!  Wink


Dave



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


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

Not - seam, seams, seamed Grin Grin Grin

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

Ah, thanks for pointing that out. Ok, i'll create a new username registering it today and as Kipman suggested, i'd better host the picture on photobucket just to make sure I don't go oversize! Perfect, when do I collect my prize?

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.  Grin

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

Great new rule, Dave  Grin , although it's a teenie wheenie bitsy unfortunate for me!  Cry

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. Roll Eyes Grin

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.
