As promised, the First Quarterly MAAM-SIM Screenshot Contest winners have been selected and announced. If you have not yet seen the updated Screenies page, take a look...http://www.maam.org/flightsim/screenies/SCREENIES.htmHere's the PR which will shortly go up on the front page here at Avsim and elsewhere... http://www.maam.org/flightsim/news/win_sc1.htmCongrats to Dominique and Oren, as well as all the Runners Up! It was not an easy selection process, and thankfully the totality of voters made the choice and not me! Happy New Year!Bill RambowMAAM-SIM http://www.fssupport.com/maam/maamsim_neon.gif

Thank you Bill and thank MAAM for your generosity. Thank you also to all those who have voted for "the angel of mercy in the clouds of war" :-). There were so many very good screenshots (89 of them !)that winning comes as a big surprise ! Have a very happy new year all you guys. 2006 should be a great one, right ? I mean being the year of the Avenger (year of the turkey ;)?) ! In the meantime, if there's anyone here still not having the B-25 (I doubt it but you never know), go and get it. A great flight modeling, a very atmospheric VC, a beautitul model, tons of excellent repaints, the lady has got'em all...Oren congrats too !And finally good luck to all for the spring contest !Dominique

CONGRATULATIONS Dominique and Oren!Lovely shots!:-sun1.....and there were a lot of really good screenies! Well done to Bill and the MAAM staff.I am ready for the next run. So come on guys....let's fill up with our best screenies!:-beerchug

You are most welcome, and I agree with your hearty recommendation of our B-25, Dominique. She's still my personal favorite.If you guys want a good example of that "atmospheric VC", take a look at the new posts I just put up. Gunnar van der Meeren, 'Skyhawk' the guy who inspired the first contest with his formation shots, has indeed thrown down the gauntlet for the next contest. He has gone solo on this go-round and his shots are brilliant.BTW, for the Winter contest we'll ask MAAM President Russ Strine to throw in some goodies from the museum shop for prizes. There are some great aviation caps, mouse pads, coffee mugs, etc. that I have my eye on for the purpose. :-)Bill RambowMAAM-SIM http://www.fssupport.com/maam/maamsim_neon.gif
