In the screenshot contest section I had posted a proposal: every now and then, a screenshot contest just for FS98 and FS2000 users, who are excluded from the regular contests.
I don't know why it has been deleted by the mods; maybe it was deemed out of topic or a mere joke ???
Anyway, I hope that it fits here.

Hi Friday. I would assume the reason it was not included was because when writing up the rules, we did not really consider it. Most people are running the more current versions of FS. I will edit the rules right now so that FS98 and FS2000 can compete but with the eye candy and realism of the newer versions, you may stand a slim chance. Wink

Go ahead and post your shot!!

Thanks for replying!

I am sure that FS98/2000 can't compete with FS9; so I was more thinking about a one-time-only contest just for these simulators, which would also a way to see who is actually still using them.

It won't happen. You would be the only one competing! Grin

We had an FS2k shot runner-up in the first contest. Rifleman and myself tend to judge on artistic merit rather than out-and-out quality, so give it a go, you've got nothing to lose Wink

There are two types of aeroplane, Spitfires and everything else that wishes it was a Spitfire!

If I use a stick to draw a screenshot in the mud, can I enter that?
