Could the following authors please convert your PNG images to JPG:

  • TheMightyPilot
  • tfreriks
  • F5SLQ
Thanks! This SOTM rule is to keep the file size small. Along the same lines, I would recommend that authors save JPGs with a 95 or less quality setting (J Maverick 16). Saving a JPG with a quality of 100 often results in a very large file (over 1 Mb) whereas most other entries are in the 100 to 500 kb range. There is a hard 2 Mb limit for uploading the entries to the wiki, though many 1-2 Mb uploads will simply fail. Maybe we need this added as a SOTM rule?

Cheers,
Edward

Sorry - I think that was my fault as previously I was checking for jpgs - and ignoring .PNG submissions not modified before the contest started. That is already a rule. But sorry - I ommited to do it this month as I am away for a week. I'll be sure to do it next month!

Sorry I didn't check it well, I wasn't aware of the importance of the jpg's and file sizes.

Anyway: only 22 hours left to vote!

Congratulations sidi762 on winning the SOTM of june 2019 with the 777!

Fyi, the livery shown on the winning screenshot has been committed to FGAddon last week, so if you have the development trunk setup in FlightGear you'll be able to use it as well ;-)

Many thanks!

I completely looked over that, downside of being too quick on the smartphone! Sorry, vnts! This means we have a tie, I think this is the moment where we used to call curt to make the choice? :-P

In the past with two screenshots I would have two screenshots of the month, with more than two I made a second poll to decide between them.

Congratulations to the 2 winners! I've just updated the wiki with the results:

Sidi, note that I had to change your JPG compression from 100 to 95 to be able to upload your file - as the upload file size limit is 2 Mb. The file size dropped from 2.9 Mb to 800 kb.

Regards,
Edward
