Title: Why not ???
Post by: Thibfly on October 12, 2008, 08:26:01 pm
Hi all !!  :) :) :)

I think it would be fantastic if someone good with graphics/photoshop skills would make some FSDT signature banners for the rest of us. An example would be the upper part of JFK tower against the backdrop of the orange evening sky with "FSDT proud supporter" written on the bottom, or better yet, use Kyle Joseph's words "It's Dreamtastic". ;D

Maybe, it would be a good idea...no ?? or it's only for FSDT developpers... I think for the challenge, it would be great to make a personnal screen, of course, something really personnal, send it to the team ,and only the team would have authority to make it with the mention "FSDT Proud Supporter"...yes with maybe "it's Dreamtastic !!"

See you !!

Starting from 00.jpg design by yourself the right box like for example 01.jpg or 02.jpg.
Post here your graphical suggestion.  ;)

Kappa, I hope you don't mind but I used your image and did myself a little touchup.  It may not look any more professional but to me it looks better.  I re-placed the logo, redid the glare, moved some stuff, and made it PROUD CUSTOMER instead of supporter.  Its my new sig!  ;)

How to get the picture into your signature.


Log into your FSDreamTeam forum account.  Under the news (Current says "News: JFK is released!") find Profile.  Then go down to Forum Profile Information on the left side.  Scroll down until you find Signature: and place this code in there.

Code: [Select]

Excellent stuff Razgriz (I'm about to go play some Ace Combat myself ;D ). It is a little too big height wise, but still thank you.

Big thanks go out to the Magic Man himself (Kappa) for helping with this.

See you all

Please don't touch, stretch, deform the logo. Sign4.jpg is good for me.  ;)

OK, Boss !! Sorry for the logo...

I'll take the third one, if you don't mind... the dimensions look good for a banner...

Hi James,

I don't want to be incorrect, but, i think it would be better slimmer, no ?? I think the sign must be seen, but it might be not bigger than the message, you see what I mean ?? I mean, It musn't "Jump" to eyes ...

See you
Title: Re: Why not ???
Post by: mave128 on October 12, 2008, 11:26:27 pm

Hi, Mave, have you got Photoshop ??  ??? ??? ::) ;)

And you must have an image hoster...

Title: Re: Why not ???
Post by: JamesChams on October 12, 2008, 11:45:36 pm
Mr. sören,

Change the statement in your signature from
Code: [Select]
[img=??????]to
Code: [Select]
[img]?????[/img]
And it should then show up.

No, not an idiot, but I'm afraid you copy the pic before enlarge it, so you have it only 190x29...

Clic on it before copying... and nobody's idiot when he doesn't knows...  ;)

Hu, no, it seems it not that...

I think the size and pic for Mave's sig is perfect *Care to share?* :) . Is it possible for you to post the code that goes in the sig section of your profile just like Razgriz did on the fist page of this post. Thanks in advance.

 ;) ;) ;)

Hi Dre,

Yes of course, here is the original by Kappa in 472 x 73...

I think the best size is to have a height of 50, approximativly, but it was to align with the LevelD Banner... I think I'll resize the LVD banner later, and my signature with it..

See you

sometime less is more!
think about it.
altough great idea with the slideshow.

Thanks; I think that was a compliment  :-\

I couldn't help the size issue, I'm using a freeware Animator that limits the size of the logo to as small as this, until I purchase it.  And its NOT cheap; so, I don't want to invest in it until I've tried all its features and know wheather or not it will work for me, before I buy it.  :D
So, its NOT a "mine's bigger than your" issue but, just a tool limitation.  ;D

Just out of curiosity, wouldn't it make more sense to use the fsdreamteam banners at other forums?   ;D
You're obviously an fsdreamteam supporter/proud customer if you regularly post in their forum, right?
Title: Re: Why not ???
Post by: Thibfly on October 14, 2008, 07:31:45 pm
Yes , of course, Bruce, it right sense !! Making his own banners with FSDT colours is sure to show everywhere that you are a great supporter !!

See you

Mr. Hamilton/Gentlemen,

I see your point; But I'm not posting these banners for the same reasons many of you are; advertising.  I'm simply showing my appreciation to the STAFF for their porducts, support, and friendship.  So, just like at a football game, you never want to go over to the "other teams" benches and start screaming your cheers for the team you support - No one there will like it, and will think/treat you like the enemy and want to boot you out.  :'(  Also, notice that my banner doesn't say "Proud" anything; but, "Satisfied Customer" here and "Grateful Customer" there.

So, I only want to say thank you to the staff with my banner, for making the sim world come alive and more realistic, for me as an aviator and simmer.

Thank you for your questions/suggestions.  :D

Hallo Sören (I suppose you're German?),

in Firefox 3 you can disable graphics from certain pages. To do so, just do a right mouseclick on the banner, and press 'block graphics from xxx' or something similar to that, and you're not gonna see it any longer.
"Grafiken von xxx blockieren".

Best regards.

Hum...James ,I'm sorry to say that, but it's a fact...your banner is a little bit big to my eyes... :-\ :-\ :-\

My first message in this topic was about having a reasonnable banner showing what kappa gave us, and may be something a little bit personnal, but your diaporama...I don't see something in relation with FS, except your enormous "FSDT Satisfied customer"...

I won't be as direct as Sören, but can think about doing somethinfg in the norms, please ??

Thanks by advance...

I really don't see what the problem is.

If you want to disable it in Firefox, do the following.


Tools > Options > Content > Exceptions (Second one down) > http://x-plane.org/home/JamesChams/Photos/ > Block

Then it won't show.
