Hello JJJ yes it's still the themed contest this month then what I might do next month go back to normal then the month after that a themed contest.
As long as there are Orbx or partners products are in the shot its allowed.
But if you win a contest the prize can only be an Orbx product and not a partners product.
cheers
Iain

So is it still the themed contest or back to everything and anything just as long as Orbx is in it? Just making sure.
Thanks....

How far the simulator has come today. I'll take my MSFS 2020 over FS9 any day of the week - shocking what we used to consider good scenery back then with the repeated land class tiles. LOL.

Hello,
interesting ideas.
On the subject of "third-party" products as prizes, they are not excluded as a matter of policy, rather they are not
Orbx's licences to give away.
On the subject of you can only win once in a given time period, there is already the fact that there are fewer entrants
and the result would most likely be even fewer.
It could almost become taking turns to win, which is the complaint now.
As Adam says, it should really be all about taking part and several likes of one's picture should produce a good feeling in any case?
Maybe counting the number of "likes" could be tried as a voting method but what should happen in the event of the inevitable tie would need to be considered.
On a lighter note, perhaps a nominated judge could be used each month, with the judge being allowed to vote for their own screenshot.
That must be fair, mustn't it?

In your above reply, you state you can only win once in a given time period....then you say as far as I am aware, there is no limit on anyone, so what is it Nick?

How's about throwing the voting open to all members?
I always thought it rather was, that its not just for people who entered to vote, but everyone? Maybe someone can clarify this....

What is that period that people can only win in? Its not stated in the rules of entry for the contest. I'm just curious, because in a few months time frame one member did win a couple of contests.

As the title says whats your thoughts on the screenshot contest, Because some members of the forum dont think its working.
cheers
Iain
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.
-
I think that one good rule for these contests in the future would be that if you like a picture or react to it, you have to VOTE for it. Its very misleading when you get 9 likes and not one nomination for the contest. Just sayin'.

If the same people win these over and over again these are NOT contests. Sorry.
