Post subject: SUUUUUWEEEEEE!!!! the JG300 "PigSty" is REAL!!!!

...for FS9 That Is!!!!

Thanks, more thanks, and infinity *** THANKS *** to the mighty & talented JG300-Ascout for the hours he spent in creating this!!!!

The 'pigsty', once a mythical place wherein all Fightin' Swine of the JG300 gather, is now a for-real destination and yup, you can indeed go there right now and grunt around with your favorite Hawgs.... because the absolute must-haven'est, coolest most awesomely bij'jin scenery for FS9 is now available for download at this incredibly meaningful link right 'char:

216.176.86.154/jg300/J...PigSty.zip

Although it's Swine-centric, all are welcome of course (just heed the areas marked "Private" and the SAM sites).....

If you've been reading the forum, you've seen the awesome teaser shots, and man, there's plenty more where that came from, and plenty more that will no doubt be posted......so for now, to leave the excitement of discovery up to each of ya's, here's just a coupla shots of it....because you need to check it out for yourselves rather than drool over it here!





SUUUUUUUUUUUUWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

Torquemada would like to extend his Blessings upon this most delightful scenerie! The pictograph below shows that even an old monk is inspired by this effort. As an old friend of certain JG300 persons, I cannot think of a more just and proper reward for the trials they have endured, and Sr. Ascout...as I have said in your grand JG300 forum here, this does hold certain -not much- sway in your treatments henceforth. A remarkeable job sir.

Congratulations and a hearty toast to you all!

I am guessing you will need some sorta paint programn to fixem' up nice and all that,,,,,I use Adobe photoshop elements 2.0 ,,,,,


Hoppa,

Create a macro on photoshop that trims the top and bottom of your screenies and also applies a re-size to the image, 1024x768 fits nice on a web page. With a macro you can load in your screenie and get it ready web display with one click of the mouse.

Torquemada and his 'ground crew'....notice how the P-38 repaint recapitulates the color of the robes...this should impress even the Manolo!
