number 6 looks like it had a small outing in Adobe PP. Looks like colors have been edited, like auto-color or something, but I could be wrong. But i know not many systems can run FS like that

We'll have to wait and see who the screenshot belongs to.

[Hornet]

I agree. 30 Screenshots is a lot and some people will not wait for them all to load.

Man the 1st screenshot has amazing quality...the best quality i've ever seen in a screenshot...the ss taker must have a quite advanced video card or else may have edited....who knows..i wish my quality was that good

All I'm saying is that there's more to a screenshot than just a nice plane or good graphics. A good screenshot to me has nice lighting, a good angle, and it's interesting, not just some old hum-drum shot of a PMDG. Don't get me wrong, the #1 shot on the list is a very nice shot, but I just find that it's the norm for people to pick the first good thing they see rather than wait around for a day or to and look at the pics.

This is just a suggestion, but from now on, I think that there should be a delay between the time the pics are up to the time people can vote on them. That way they can study the pics and have ample time to consider which shot is the best rather than which shot has the nicest plane in it.

That's my opinion and NO, the #1 shot on the list isn't mine. If it was mine, I wouldn't have put pink clouds in it

I totally agree Groudon, that's what I believe in because if it was good graphics and plane, then I have no chance to win. I go for what is unique about each pic. Like the angle, the environment and how the surroundings mix with the plane. With a HORRIBLE gfx card, and a loooong time to improvement, I think everyone should choose the best shot from that, showing the skill of the shot taker, instead of how powerful the machine is

[funtown34]

I've got a question,

Does everyone wait for all the pics to load before they vote.

I mean come on, the first shot is nice, but what about the others,

12 votes for the first one, and then 1,2,4, 6 votes for the rest

If you haven't voted, I emplorer you to look at all the shots before you vote. There's more to having a great shot than just having the PMDG plane

I wish people would realize that

what the heck
I looked at EVERY single picture MULTIPLE times
I can assure you NOBODY here doesn't look at EVERY picture at least once

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Well, don't get mad

Good grief, it was just a question

Just seems to me that the first pics always get a lot of votes at the beginning of a contest and then after it's been up for a few days, then the others get more votes.

Sorry for posting my opinion on this public forum RUUDPEL

First off, yes, I think everyone does look at all the shots. Your logic is somewhat senseless. I mean, how many times has shot #1 won the SS contest?
Second, I believe you were the one getting "mad" groudon. You act like you didn't use that angry face in your first post...
Finally, I know #6's taker has an awesome PC, so I'm not really sure if it is edited.

How do you know who #6 is? Are you hinting its you or do you know who it is?
Just curious...but if #6 is letting his friends know which shot was his, then that defeats the pupose of not using names, since we're trying to take favortism out of the constest....

As for Erik's post. I partially agree with him...I almost found my self picking 1 or 6 because I was waiting forever for the pictures to download...fortunatly I waited and got to see 27.
I understand his concern and I understand the problem of people not waiting and just picking the first one....
Maybe we should include a zip file that people can just download with all the shots in it? Maybe that might help....

[WarrenGmon]

That is a awesome idea, i would definately prefer to have a zip file to download, and having the pics posted. Especially because i'm on Dial-up.

I'm 82% sure it's who I think it is. He hasn't told me it's his shot or anything, but I know how his shots tend to look, and I've got a very strong hunch that it belongs to a certain person I have in mind.

[FiveZeroBravo]

I took #1 and #6 into PSP and they both did have some pink hues and soft midtones added to them... looks like a bit of magenta to give it a more life like look... and... Number #28 has a glare plugin to it... (Its my favorite plugin.. I know what it does )

Sorry to be the party pooper

99% disagree with that. I say you have to have been around awhile before you can just come around a say somebody's cheating out the blue. There is alot ppl here with very good high-quality shots, so you a perspective on who took the shot. Also, why lately people are acusing that people are cheating?

Yea obviously so if he thinks #28 is edited...

[Matrix]

I pic #4 for obvious reasons-I love Qantas! But I reckon that person has an awsome PC! As for the aircraft...I detect it as a...hmm...IFDG Qantas 767-300!

These shots that your complaining about, am i mistaken to say that they all have a good chance of winning. If they werent up there at the top of the stakes would you be sayin they were edited or not?

You know what I say?

Shut your mouth. I could care less about seniority around here. I know what is edited and what is not. For all know you could have had your first flight sim with FS2002 or 2004. Unless you have come from the first version of flight simulator shut your trap and don't tell me what is and is not cheating.



This is why I left. YOU ALL NEED TO GROW UP, AND LEARN TO RESPECT ONE ANOTHER.


Goodbye.


P.S. - I have actually been around longer. Did you learn in your poor ###### school system that August comes before December?

So don't be talking.
