Alrighty guys, this is it for some of you, and also the last chance for those who will be leaving after theme #5 to help your team gain the ultimate bragging rights.

After the scores from theme #5 are posted, they will remain hidden until the end of the comp at theme #10.

After Theme #5 is completed, anyone wishing to join as a competitor or judge is more than welcome. Smiley

It's only getting harder from here, so make sure you've got the time and dedication to continue. Wink

Hmm, does it have to be in the cockpit, or can it also be in the cabin?

Hmmm... Since it only says VC, I don't see why that can't also stand for Virtual Cabin. Wink

Opens up a lot of new possibilities huh? Cheesy

Sorry but this theme is a joke  Roll Eyes Roll Eyes....I know it's a bit of fun but it's basically forcing everyone to download a specific scenery add-on (which I'll probably never use again) and is therefore a waste of time.... Roll Eyes Tongue

Is it going to get more and more precise until we'll end up with 20 identical shots of the same plane landing at the same airport in the same weather conditions but look slightly different simply because FSX has more eye candy than FS9....the whole Idea of this competition is so that the screenartists can use their creativity to make their sim look good....restricting the category to something as ridiculous as this takes a lot of that aspect out of it...

I hope to see better categories in the future Wink....I'll enter for the honour of FS9, but not out of personal enjoyment Wink

You don't have to download the scenery at all. I don't have it, and wasn't planning on getting it. Wink Sometimes it takes more than fancy scenery to make a great shot. Smiley

And the challenge here is the creativity of the shot.  I'm willing to bet, that I'll have a shot that looks like nothing that anyone else will post. Wink
There's nothing stating in the rules that you even need to see the airport. (I love technicalities Grin)

As for the theme being a joke, not my fault, being as this was a rematch of sorts, the first 5 themes are repeats of the original competition. I wouldn't have come up with this theme in a million tries.

The next 5 however are original, and certainly nothing like this one.

As for FSX having more eye candy, you need to look at the score Wink If NickN were in this contest running his stuff, then I would be worried, but since he's not, and I've got about 5 years worth of top notch freeware, I'm pretty confident that I can hold my own against anything FSX throws at me. Cool (go easy on me TeamX Grin Wink)



Looking back at the older thread with this theme, I can see that you didn't care for this theme then either, let this be the challenge for you then, your ultimate test of your creativity Smiley. I have always admired your work for it's originality and creativeness, and I feel you could really shine here with the proper mindset. Wink

LOL Shane....you know you've been on SimV for too long when you don't realise the themes are identical to those used a year ago Tongue...If i'd realised sooner I would have used all my old shots Tongue

My bad.....still think it's an awful theme though...what was Danny thinking of Tongue

Good luck all Cheesy
