Hi all,

Within the last half hour or so I have added 5 extra splash pictures (the ones that come up when you first load a sim) into the Cambridge folder. I did this without replacing any of the existing ones. The photos are:

2x Dullingham
3x Shippea Hill (including 2 night photos)

I would like to be able to make the 5 new photos available to Simsig members with the Cambridge sim as a ZIP file. The pictures are from my private photo archive. How can I go about offering them though? The files are zipped and ready to go. I will also give info on how to add them (ie. where to extract them to).

Thanks.
Dave

Firstly, I assume you've called them splashxx (Where xx is a number). If so then click on the downloads/Uploads link in the menu box on the right and follow the instructions. They should then appear in the downloads section as soon as a mod as ok'd them

File submitted, Noel: thanks for your help. Yes I had named them correctly and they are all the same size (320x240 pixels). It is a bit of a pity that there wasn't room to make the photos slightly bigger. Can't be helped though.

In summary the photos depict:

- Splash17: Dullingham Signalbox
- Splash18: NatEx East Anglia 170270 departing Dullingham for Newmarket
- Splash19: Shippea Hill Signalbox
- Splash20: Night photo of Shippea Hill crossing gates and part of the box
- Splash21: Night photo of Shippea Hill signalbox and part of the gates.

If these prove popular then I will provide more: my signalbox photo archive is quite a good size.

Done,

Just for reference you can call them anything you like after Splash. I.e. SplashDullinghamSignalbox or I think Splash_Dullingham_Signalbox

Any size will be accepted, it's just that the display is fixed so it'll just be concentrated down and distorted if not proportional.

Would you mind if I used one or two in the next Cambridge release? (Whenever I get round to it; this is not a hint to expect anything soon.)
