It's not the entire med "template" that is an issue. I just used a med "template".... parts of it... the little do dads and what nots are actually really good... and the overall size is much higher resolution that you can get most places.

I guess the issue is how he decided to make these templates.... let me try to explain....

The main fuselage in Med's templates are stripped of its outline on purpose, which makes it challenging to use these templates with non-destructive editing techniques. Now I must ask why, when he gives multiple options for so many do-dads, would he make it so that you practically must use his overlay. Seem's there is really only one possible answer, he want's them all to look the same. Perhaps for the status it brings, perhaps for some other reason... I really don't want to infer why. But he certainly didn't need to take extra time to make things actually harder to edit, but he did. 

Now some may say they look better with a landscape bleeding through... and while I, and any other professional would disagree for reasons I have already gone through, to each their own. But if this is really the truth, why would you go out of your way to prevent people from taking it off?  Hmm... 

Anyways...  it took some effort to rip it apart and redo it the way it should be done. But the results really do speak for themselves using the higher resolution vs the low quality free stuff. But I still give credit where credit is due, the original creator of this wire frame model crafted in Maya. www.norebbo.com ... Not the person who added an antenna and a bad wrapping. The concept for this aircraft came from an www.infinite-flight.com member, and judging by how nice people are to each other there, my new hangout spot where I will be donating my time.

How to play:

The image can be of the inside or the outside of any airport in the world, as long as there is something that will make it noticeable to someone who has been there and seen it themselves.

If you are correct, it will be your turn to post a picture for others to guess. If you are certain of your answer, please post a new picture for others to guess along with your answer.

If you just want to random guess on everything, please send me a pm in advance so that I may be ready for when lightning strikes and you get one correct.

An easy one to warm things up-

The object of the game is to name that skyline.

I will posting a picture of a skyline anywhere in the world. If you guess it correctly you can either post a skyline for others to guess, or wait for me to see your reply and I will post another image for you. Simple enough... here we go!

*edit*

Google image search is very good, but a simple method to post a picture that will not be identified in a search is by using a distorting filter. I recommend Gimp (It's free). Under "Filters", select "Distorts". In this menu choose the option called "Blinds".

If there is one thing that is broke... that could be fixed... which would change the expansion spamline equation... it is gate fees.

I have not seen the code... but I do have a decent understanding of coding... chances are this would be something that would be a <30 minute task.

Currently gate fees are calculated incorrectly. Once you purchase a terminal, you pay for only 1 gate regardless of how many you build. While perhaps this is realistic in someones mind... this alone is the major reason why spamlines work as well as they do.

If this is fixed so that gate fees are calculated on how many you have, the profit margins of putting 30,000 seats on a route that has a demand of 2,000 will evaporate. It won't make the purpose disappear, but it will re balance things.
