Can someone either post the link on how to put the images together or pm it to me
There are a lot of different ways to go about stitching. I use Gimp 2 on the laptop, a free program that's basically the poor man's version of Photoshop. Others have used MS Paint, PanoramaPlus or Adobe Photoshop CS2 (I believe this is a free version of PS with less bells and whistles) on PC as well as apps for tablets/phones (Photo Mess, Montage Lite, Auto Stitch).
If anyone struggles with the process, doesn't have access to a PC, or simply does not possess the ability/desire to stitch, PM me and I will be happy do it for you. I've done quite a few over the years and can put them together pretty quickly.
just a single screen shot, is as welcome an entry as a full mosaic. As long as it's featuring the new airport terminal, runway, and/or jetway features, and you're proud of it, we'll be happy to judge it for you. Please get it posted and PM me the link.
For those wanting to give a mosaic a try:
I take many screen shots, all at Max zoom-out, and then upload to PC and lay them like tiles into one big MSPaint window. It takes patience but when done, being able to see your SF through a larger window is like gaining another eye. Totally worth the attention to overlapping them with precision. I start at the top center And go down the left, then work to the right like laying a shingle roof. Any gaps just fill later with a new shot.
All my designs look unfinished because i can't place as many plants, streetlights, and fences as i would like. PLEASE REMOVE THE LIMIT, EA!
pm sent 4junk I still haven't got my airport to how I want it, but I've sent an image of the work-in-progress. Keen to see what others have done with theirs.
I just spent about 4 hours preparing my own submission. Tedious, but so worth it to get that full, unrestricted view. Again, I just used MSPaint, layering one tile at a time. When you see blank spaces, just grab a shot of what you're missing and paste it in. Then upload to imgur or similar, and PM me the link!
I've got a bunch in my inbox already, but you have another 6 days so pack your bags and make it happen!

I'm hoping I have time to compete, my job has just got stupid busy and I've got weird free time in random places but I WILL TRY! Either way I look forward to seeing the competition!
Oh. My. Goodness. I just took a peek at some of the submissions. There is some really good stuff coming in!
You know, you might think you're creative... then you see some creativity by someone else, and you're like, "oh wow now that is brilliant!"
There's always a different perspective to find, even when working with the same little bits and pieces. It's probably the most interesting feature of the game. I love seeing through the eyes of others.
This will be a fun contest. Keep those entries coming!

You make me curious ^^
Now don't you go change your design by what you see at others who are participating
Fortunately for us all I'm an honest (and lazy) person. I've already created and posted my pic to imgur and PMd myself a link too. So I won't be modifying my own airport before the contest, but I WILL be pinching some of these ideas afterwards! (I'll need more land first though)
