I generally hate whiney rotating suck squeeze burn blow engines, but I have gone for something larger than the BD5 - I wonder... Burbank or Shoreham?

Ir can work, just implement rules as I suggested that If you like something in the posting of the screenshot entries, people must VOTE for that one that they like. Also LIMITING the number of times people can win in a certain period can definitely up the chance of others winning that enter regularly and don't win because of the popularity contests and hugs club if they all have their little clicks they belong to in the forum. We need a more fair voting system. That's the problem. Its very misleading when you get 9 likes on your entry but then no nominations in the contest itself.
How's about throwing the voting open to all members?

As one who has been guilty of making a "wrong" entry, I can understand why some are confused by terms such as Orbx / partners / theme types. am not exactly a spring chicken anymore and I get confused and tend to overthink the competition. I mean... "Leaving on a jet plane" - I was seriously tempted to edit Mama Cass into an airport terminal, singing her famous song whilst looking out over the runway at a departing jet. Also, if I had set the camera angle in my (failed) entry and shown the runway - would that have been correct? So what are we getting this month then? I would guess all entries to be more or less identical with just the photographer's skills making the difference. Either way, I won't stop entering. It is fun and you do "have to be in it to win it", don't you?
Enjoy, have fun and don't be such "Karens"
and don't forget: The judge's decision on subject matter is final.

OK, so I got disqualified with my first attempt - I wasn't taking off (although I was "engines running" waiting for a break in the clouds. Gotta be careful in the wet - it may shrink some more...
OK, Jets, Taking off, Runways... Check! I might just go with one of these themes... #1 has even got four jet engines, that's more than most commercial cattle truck planes. And yes, that glider IS jet powered. DG808S

I'm not winning any prizes with my comp entry, but I did have some fun "defining" a jet plane...

Iliasr - but that should also be an entry for July as well!

Oh, and the silly sausage has repainted her to Army livery now...
Oops! My bad - I just checked the CAA database and G-HDAE seems to have changed owners to Airborne Classics at Kidlington. So I can park her in an Orbx scenery and still be true to type.

Now if you guys at Orbx could add Sywell, then my next projejct will be right on its home turf.
mind you... a current bout of CTS is crimping my style at the moment.

All those lovely Orbx small airfields around London. I fancied a littly fly today and then I noticed: "THE DHC1 CHIPMUNK IS HERE!!!"
Is it Christmas? "Here Orbx, take my credit card!"Load up sim, start at Popham and cruise round to Andrewsfield via White Waltham, Booker, Denham, Elstree, Stapleford to land at Andrewsfield. Gods! These airfields are just wonderful, simply wonderful. Breathtakingly so on a sunny late afternoon.
Popham
White Waltham
Booker
Denham
Being a nuisance (Elstree I think)
Stapleford
...and finally Andrewsfield
Eeeek! They've got a "Frightening" "EEL"
All in All, you guys at Orbx have really created a virtual wonderland for some pretty flights around England. Middle Wallop is missing though
PS, sorry for incorrect imgur links in first draft. Fixed now.-

Congrats Ilias! I've flown into LGKO on Aegean several times in the four years I lived there.

"What's in a number?" - a phrase that is often used in relation to aircraft with a "devilish" tail number...
I feel for your friend, Bernd. We had a Lynx AH1 in Hildesheim with that tail number. Our nickname for the beast was "Trembling Six". It had vibration problems without end. It was also our Hangar Queen and spent a lot of time as an "organ donor" because she spent more of her life as a "Christmas Tree" than actually flying.-

OK, so I normally prefer smaller aerodromes, but today I added Burbank to my shopping list which included Popham and Headcorn. Totally different worlds, but I added Burbank because I drove past it on many occasions when I visited a supplier in Pocoima. Airbus always sent us in via LAX and it was often an interesting drive out to visit Brice. As for Popham and Headcorn - they are simply gorgeous little UK airfields. Well made and a pleasure to fly into. I only have a few hundred pounds more to spend on the UK...
Burbank
Popham
Headcorn
But of all three new additions today, I really have to say Headcorn is already my favourite. It is so well used and the challenge of parking my chopper here is quite interesting. Just love the historical aircraft there too! Big thumbs up guys!

Me too. And please add the Orbx sites we bought on the msfs marketplace.

I just bought and installed the GB North scenery enhancement. Similar to another post of mine re GB Central I am seeing scenery cracks around Edinburgh. What did I do wrong?
I think this has been answered, but please indulge me. Thanks

Oh believe me: that wasn't a first attempt...

It's actually a paint I did for my German friends on https://www.flusi.info/forum/ With a name like yours, Bernd, perhaps you should be a member there?
Is there any desire for an Orbx livery? My German friends have a forum specific theme (The Kingfisher Logo). Maybe you have something here on Orbx? I also paint specials for Misty Moorings. Regretfully, I fear the "X" logo rather uninspiring although.... thinks........ wicked grins.......
