Gorgeous shot, but the cloud textures at least do look like REX which isn't allowed. If it's not REX then I think you're on to a winner! Really nice!

I'm not sure where the clouds come from; I copied over environment files from my last installation after formatting my hard drive. I know my water is REX, but I think I may have overwritten the clouds with one of the freeware packs here.

Anyway, environment addons aren't allowed? Kind of annoying since they're a pain to uninstall and reinstall.

Hello, Zaku.

REX is not allowed because we don't want there to be an unfair advantage for those who have payware products. The contest rules have recently been made more clear about REX.

Sorry for the confusion Undecided

BTW.....REX has an option in the Configuration Manager that restores your original textures with a click of the mouse, just like changing your theme, only it restores your original textures Wink

"Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth and danced the skies on laughter silvered wings. Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth of sun split clouds.....and done a hundred things you have never dreamed of.....wheeled and soared and swung high in the sunlit silence. Hovering there, I've chased the shouting wind along and flung my eager craft through footless halls of air.

Up, up the long, delerious, burning blue I've topped the wind swept heights with easy grace where never Lark, nor even Eagle flew. While with silent lifting of mind I've trod the high untrespassed sanctity of space, put out my hand and touched the face of god"

Oh hay man! Glad to see you here! Cool

Everyone, this is the guy who made the textures for many of my planes, including the S-46 Orca/Blackfish and the F-22 Raptor! Grin

Up is the way to go.

Very nice shot indeed, well done.

How did you achieve the 1024 x 413 format?

It's just cropped and resized to fit the file limit here. Originally was 1920x1080.

Anyway, those probably are REX clouds, guess I'm out.

The rules don't even allow cropping.

Quote:

No cropping, editing or adjusting your shot!! Any images over 155 kb in weight, and wider than 1024 will not be VALID! This rule is now being enforced since This is a Screenshot Contest and we "want to see the RAW shot!" All entries must be uploaded to SimV.

It's a shame because it's a really great shot.
