Thanks Judges

"Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth and danced the skies on laughter silvered wings. Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth of sun split clouds.....and done a hundred things you have never dreamed of.....wheeled and soared and swung high in the sunlit silence. Hovering there, I've chased the shouting wind along and flung my eager craft through footless halls of air.

Up, up the long, delerious, burning blue I've topped the wind swept heights with easy grace where never Lark, nor even Eagle flew. While with silent lifting of mind I've trod the high untrespassed sanctity of space, put out my hand and touched the face of god"

Thanks judges for including my shot in the finals.

Good luck all.

Only two shots here are all 100% freeware, the others all have payware of some kind, so how is this a freeware only contests?

Have I missed something? Cry

So Simviation's once famous Freeware section is now dominated by Payware shots?! How will freewares stand a chance now? I see also that there is a new paywares store on the downloads page, so I suppose Simviation has just become like another Avsim, only interested in paywares and making money?

This saddens me. Cry

So why is it that this is still called the "Freeware" contests? this is very confusing to me.

No! Simviation still hosts many freeware aircraft and sceneries. Only the screenshots sections have been merged - after a discussion in the forum, both members and administrators agreed it would make the forums a little more user friendly.

mola has a good point. I was one of the members in favour of a change in the rules but it's not working out in practice as I expected. It's not for me to make a big fuss over this but surely a comp entitled the 'Best of Freeware' should feature Freeware? Roll Eyes

There was some confusion this month. I think it's going to end up being just two categories in the future. The payware forum is just to show off any new payware that you bought that other members might be interested in.
