I'd think my official affiliation with PMDG would already disqualify me from any contests run here lol...

Well... you could send Dan a little full body shot of the NGX, and then give your prize to 2nd place. :(

Sent in my entry as well.

Slight Extension:I have just found out that I have to do some things after work meaning I won't be able to get to part two of this contest until later. All this means is since I won't be going through the photos until later, the window will now be open a little later also (2 hours more).As of the time of this post the deadline to send in your entry is: 04:09:34 (9:00PM tonight EST).

Ok, Dan.Check or spammail inbox, lolJust sent you my entry!Nice idea, I heard the Duke is really good, Realair did a great job on it.Hope I win! :D

Hi Dan!I'm giving you a heads up too. My email has been known to end up in the spam folder for some reason. Thanks!!Ethan Rayhorn

Hi guys, I have received you entrys. Most entries actually did go to my spam folder, but you know how yahoo can be.I've made sure that I got them all and always keep that folder clean.To everyone:I must say that I wish I thought things through more on deciding to be the one to bring the choices down to 3 :( To make my decissions easier, I saved the images as I got them in a folder with no ties to the person that sent them. This way I can atleast keep my opinions unbiased, so that just leaves the rest of the difficulty of choosing from great to greater.To say it's difficult is the understatement of the century. All I can say is sorry if your screenshot doesn't make the cut. The contest still has a few minutes but to save time I have already began the process with what I have in front of me. I have started to send out emails to those that didn't make it to ease the "ouch" (or at least hope it does). Anyway, I am very please with the turn out this time around and wish you all the best of luck.This process of going to phase two will still take me a while and hope to have a poll of the final three choices posted around 10PM EST. I will mention it again in that post but once again, I will not have any names tied to the final 3. Please do not comment on this or that post with a "YAHOO!!! I made it!" haha. I'm not going to eliminiate it for that of course but it would be better to not mention it until end of time Sunday night. At that time, if the other entrants don't mind I will post links to all of the pictures that were entered (I am asking in private emails first if they are ok with it).Thanks again guys, stay tuned!

Just to mention, time has officially ended for this contest.

I really need to start reading your posts more, I COMPLETELY missed this, and I have some pretty amazing shots. But in fairness of the rules I will not send them to you. I have an idea for your next contest (whenever that will be)Maybe have the best user submitted pic of a custom livery (whether it be a real aircraft in a current airliners fleet, or something from their own mind). That THEY created.......just a thoughtTim Steele

Everyone....Heads up! Ryan posted at 9:01 this evening implying that there would be photos of the NGX tonight!!!!!!!See post:http://forum.avsim.net/topic/311360-pmdg-737-ngx-pics/page__gopid__1859094#entry1859094Ethan Rayhorn

Sorry you missed it Tim. You could still send me your screenshot, although it cannot be entered, I would still like to see it.Also,,, just curious, but why don't you read my posts anyway? Do you often make it a point to skip my posts or something? :wink:For those that may not already know. The Phase two poll can be found here: http://forum.avsim.net/topic/311411-duke-contest-take-2/

That is a cool topic for a contest no doubt, but I think that falls in a split categorey from this contest and my other one (but more-so my last one. ).The contests are for certain reasons, mainly for fun of course, and for the community, but normally there are several things behind the methods to my madness. The livery contest of course was mainly to push people into trying the tutorial to see how easy it is. This one was to give some friendly advertising to what I think is an incredible light aircraft (and perhaps nudge PMDG in developing some smaller scale ones as well :( ).It also may get some more people to see what the ENB plugin looks like and maybe get them to try it, after all, it's free :) And maybe, just maybe someone with the computer smarts might fix its bug for the rest of us. Lastly, this contest was something everyone could do and couldn't think of a more simple topic for a contest.I would start thinking of what your strong suit is in what you might want to write a tutorial about! That will be the next contest and it will be a 1st 2nd 3rd place contest and will be pretty huge! So far for prizes, the things that come to mind are:#1 - the latest PMDG release#2 or 3 - FS2Crew's latest (most likely the NGX)#2 or 3 - Radar Contact 5The contest will require the most work, but as you can see in the prizes, there really won't be a second place and personally think all will make great 1st prizes!By the way, anyone can do a contest. It just requires the time to type it. People think it's really generous of me but honestly (and selfishly) it's entertaining. I have paid $60 for a game I beat in 5 hours (many times), but these things give me a lot more than 5 hours of entertainment and knowing that they are fun for others adds to the feeling much more than anything I could ever buy for myself.
