Well done you winners!

Sorry it took so long - I've been on holiday again. Cool

It's over now though, till at least January, so the JC comps should be flowin' thick n'fast from now on like on the morning after a strong curry.

Cheers

I don't really think it fair for the other contestants to judge a shot of a defined plane, based almost entirely on ground textures - in this case a payware scenery, which is not really available to everyone as such...

Just not all fair for the others... But of course, it's your opinion that counts, and I respect that.

Can't wait for the next one!

I disagree. Wink

I've got freeware scenery that's not that far off what he had, got it here too!, but I didn't use it in my shot. Besides I think the ultralight(same one I used) is what makes that shot, and looks more real than the scenery does. But, that's just my opinion and sometimes I have a habit of saying it. Wink

In Judge's Choice

it's totally up to the judge how they decide

. Nothing is 'fair' or 'unfair', it's up to them. If you win one day you can choose to ignore all payware contributions, or stipulate 'freeware only' in the rules, it will be your comp and your right to choose...

For 'fair' competitions, see the normal gallery contests and the main site contests... though whether it's 'fair' that a guy with a 2000 dollar computer can take better screenshots and thus win than a guy who can only use FS2002 on 800x600 without AA because he can't afford a better comp is also a moot point. Wink

Hope that clears things up...

I agree. Its all up to the judge for that particular comp to decide. I dont have a good setup. I use a single core, 1 gig of ram, and a graphics card that I guess you would consider an entry level card. But I've managed to win one of the jc contests, and get another runnerup. All with my inferior (to me) computer. I too used to think it was unfair to have payware/freeware mixed into one comp.... but in the end its all the judges choice. Its what catches his/her eye. Your job is to get that eye catching shot!

Congrats to the winners by the way! All were great looking shots.

My specs... A hard drive, motherboard, graphics card, some memory, a keyboard, mouse, and monitor - in other words, nothing special.&&&&My Posky 777 VC settings - http://www.simviation.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1218341439&&Posky 777 and FSX jetways - http://www.simviation.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1228448408

Anxyous, read this:

A year and a half ago, I bought FSX, my first sim ever, and I had a P4, 3.0 Ghz with HT, 512 MB of DDR-something under 400 RAM, and an integrated intel chipset from 2003.

Needless to say, it didn't run too well, but I honestly didn't care, and a year ago I think was when I first entered a contest, I took the SS from a birds-eye-view so you couldn't see the plane very well, while having a jagged Sonic boom effect, over 1x low water.

I thought it was a good shot actually, at the time, Tongue

.

Now, I have an awesome 9800 GTX+ (got it yesterday, before that pic I took was taken, that one was from a 8600 GTS), a Q6600, and 3 gigs of some crappy DDR2-800 that came with a dell comp, with a cas latency of 6.

In conclusion of that little story:
I just evolved in a way, taking little steps, and I don't think I complained, except to my dad about not getting me a good graphics card (that's out of the way, but it was with my own money because of it!).

I think it's up to each judge.

Also, krigl, is there a way you can find that first SS I posted? I've tried searching for it for the last month to no avail.

My decision was based not only on ground textures,i just liked how the shot was taken: height,angle..erm...and groun textures...But if someone doesn't have an ability to buy FTX-freeware photoscenery is his friend.. Wink

fxp,this shot is absolutely freeware and contains BlueSkyScenery Nevada scenery and def. Extra:

With good use of height and angle this scenery would be a great place to take screenshots...
That's my opinion... Wink
