Wow Truck, thats a mighty impressive shot. A didn't think FS9 could look so good, might have to switch back if you tell me your secrets. Grin

I have a feeling X is going to get smashed this round, some cracking FS9 shots.

Sorry for the bad shot Team X, I really struggled with this theme. Embarrassed

I honestly think the X Men got slaughtered in this round. Its hard to have an AI contest when 99% of the AI out there is made for FS9 and when the models are ported into FSX they just look straight up weird.

I mean there certainly are some good attempts here but AI is a strong point for FS9.

Looking forward to those results and the next theme. How many themes are there going to be?

i agree with you about the AI for FS9 but the AI that i used in my shot is not from or for FS9...it is the free download from FTX that contains FSX AI for Australia Wink

also shane i dont know what my fellow simmers think but i would not have a problem if this contest goes for more then the 5 themes like last time Wink...just a thought

I thought they were getting harder! Grin I had a hell of a time finding a good shot for this theme. Grin Wink I've got a couple more worked out now which should provide a good challenge after the original 5 are done. Cool

For going with an extended theme count, we would have to work in a solution for people wanting to exit/enter the competition as participants and judges. Now that SubZer0's got his system up and running again, I'm pretty sure he won't want to stay a judge, and it would also be nice to keep teams at an even number to make the scoring system stay fair and balanced. You FSX guys out there are starting to outnumber us FS9 guys! Cheesy

Maybe we could even draw some Xplane people into this and have ourselves a triple threat match! Grin Wink

Scores coming in today, and the results and next theme up shortly after. Smiley

I don't think that's going to be a problem at all. Wink



I've got several new themes worked up to get us up to 10. After the 5th theme, we'll take a breather and check on everyone's status as far who wants to proceed, and who's had enough, and if anyone wants to switch teams.  Smiley

For those seeking to move on, get ready, ndude737 wanted them to be harder, so it'll be his fault if you have a difficult time with them. Grin Grin Wink
