my mistake, can i enter it again Harold?

I always give people a second chance, so yes of course you can Wink

Fly2e wrote on Jun 26^th, 2008 at 7:43am:

Hell if I did that, why even enter?

So ... I guess you'll enter a shot too then? Wink

originality is encouraged

Very much ... but I'll leave that up to Tom Wink

My sim at the moment does a CTD on me whenever i try and launch a flight so im stuck to picking old shots atm...

Well this ones a tricky one! First thought of repainting the cub, but the paintkit is just ridiculous!. Thought maybe an all over chrome cub would be nice and different, but that didnt really work how i planned!

Anyway, i settled on this, and this is indeed my entry!

A sad loss indeed, I've been admiring his blog before, and he had some stunning shots!

One of the things I like about (flying in) Alaska is its size. It's HUGE! It shows how small and insignificant we really are, just a wee speck in an enormous expanse of nature...Shaun showed that really well in some of his shots..

I'll have multiple shots to post, as I doubt that one shot can exemplify a loss of a human life, yet only one will be my entry.

I should have them by the end of the night.

I had this kicking around also but went with my 1st choice as it looks more real than this...

Alaska... It's such a vast area. I chose to enter this shot because it gave me the feeling peace and wonder at the beauty of our Earth. I think Harold's friend would have liked it.

Chignik Lake, Alaska A79

There are two more shots in payware of this set.

Ah, seems I too overstepped the "it must be set in Alaska or BC" rule, if you don't mind Harold could I put another shot together and enter it?

I don't mind Charlie this is not the 'official' screenshot contest but I would want Roger's input on this one. I don't want to set a precedent here.
I'll ask Roger to look into this too ...

Fly2e wrote on Jun 26^th, 2008 at 11:19am:

Here is mine!

Sweet entry Dave and good to see you posting a shot in a 'contest' ... must've been a while eh? Wink

todayshorse wrote on Jun 27^th, 2008 at 9:51am:

Yeah it is isn't it Simon? I'm amazed that Aerosoft (the masters of great add-ons) supplies such a poor paintkit for such a great model.
Thinking about it ... we could do one together, couldn't we?

Wow ... that is a nice quote, Chris! Nice shot too! Thanks!

Indeed we are Jan Kees ... indeed we are. Very well put and a sweet shot! Thank you!

I think you did! That is a very nice screenshot! Isn't that Rancho' new Cub?

Very cool shot Bob! That skin looks like a blue version of Shaun's aircraft! Very sweet detail ... which model is it?

The same goes for you as for Charlie. I'll check with Roger too ...

YSHT wrote on Jun 27^th, 2008 at 9:25pm:

Hey that is nice effort on the repaint! I've tried if myself but I ended up in the bush!
Minor detail: that is a standard wheel PA-18 whereas Shaun's Cub was an L-21 equipped with tundra tyres ...

Very cool effort indeed, but why so small? You can have a shot that is 1024 wide and a 150 kilobytes in filesize.
What are your issues with compression? Maybe I can be of assistance?

Leigh wrote on Jun 28^th, 2008 at 9:10pm:

Thanks Leigh! Sad indeed but hopefully Shaun is enjoying all these great screenshots from up there ... yours sure captures that feeling Wink
