mutley 4,498 Posted March 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 Another suggestion:Flying's Off A month... With no Aircraft! FSX cars, boats... You name it! They can all be downloaded from AvSim, Flightsim.com, etc Superb idea! - "Your grounded"!!! Link to post Share on other sites
Soya 7 Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 How about plane-less shots, ie shots without an aircraft/helicopter in sight, just scenery/moods/dawn/dusk/sky shots? I'd suggested that a while back should be fun trying to get a shot without a plane, plenty of fun things to try and capture in FSX, boats, scenery, cities, buildings, landmarks etc. Link to post Share on other sites

jankees 917 Posted March 24, 2010 Report Share Posted March 24, 2010 How about FS recorder shots? So with multiple aircraft, or formations etc? Link to post Share on other sites

CaptHill 0 Posted March 29, 2010 Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 Cool! That sounds good, do you have the FSX formation program? Is formation program available for FSX aswell as FS9??

simi_av8r 0 Posted April 3, 2010 Report Share Posted April 3, 2010 Mut, a quick skim through the thread here and i have a few ideas i don't think we've seen yet: [*:3u608cqc]Gliders, Hang-gliders & Un-powered flight (para-gliders etc.)[*:3u608cqc]Fictional Aircraft[*:3u608cqc]Experimental Aircraft (e.g. test-beds, the Flying-Bedstead and TSR2 as examples) and one more for the road: [*:3u608cqc]Milestones of flight - aircraft renowned for an historic event, the Bell X-1 for example Link to post Share on other sites
md_eleven 0 Posted April 3, 2010 Report Share Posted April 3, 2010 How about Mc Donnell Douglas (since we had the other two) Concorde (Not sure if that is too specific...it could be widened it to "supersonic flight" I guess) Space flight (Since FSX we are now able to fly into space and there are plenty of freeware and payware add-ons to do so...just an idea) Stefan Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,498 Posted April 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2010 Thanks guys, this is all great feedback. I always read back through this thread before choosing the next competition and Simi & Stefan you have come up with some excellent ideas. I have a feeling McDonnell Douglas could be up next as they have made so many historic aircraft civil and military. (Thanks Stefan :biggrin: ) Joe Link to post Share on other sites
Edward Longe 3 Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 Time to get the MD-11 out the hanger then! Link to post Share on other sites

(Thanks Stefan )Joe If indeed it is McDonnell Douglas for May's comp, would it include any MD aircraft that became boeing manufactured...the c17 as an example. Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,498 Posted April 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 I don't mind so long as it is called a McDonnell Douglas ......... Link to post Share on other sites
Aircraft Aviation 2 Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 "Show off your colours!" A month which consists of displaying some of the pretties liveries around (hands off my favourite, Wunala Dreaming!). Link to post Share on other sites

Edward Longe 3 Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 I don't think that would be pratical Jack. Mainly because there are so few repaints for the aircraft. Link to post Share on other sites
Aircraft Aviation 2 Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 I don't think that would be pratical Jack. Mainly because there are so few repaints for the aircraft. Wrong wrong wrong Eddie! Haven't you seen how many fantastic, detailed and colourful liveries there are out there? There are thousands of repaints for both payware/freeware/default Aircraft.

mutley 4,498 Posted April 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2010 Jack, I think Eddie is referring to MD repaints rather than liveries for ANY aircraft. Cheers, Joe Link to post Share on other sites
CSoul 182 Posted April 8, 2010 Report Share Posted April 8, 2010 pmtos mentioned something similar, but how about: "Borderline Insanity" (or maybe not so borderline...) The idea would be to do something absolutely outrageous, the more outrageous the better (though not necessarily realistic). For example, looping the default 747, rolling the Boeing 707 (has been done in the real-world), or giving passing pedestrians a haircut/singe. Link to post Share on other sites
