    not sure what to make of this, and i doubt it is even worthy of a thread, but just wondering why this original pic
    [​IMG]
    for altitude the game has been obviously edited on the steamstore adding a cloud to cover her excessively drawn cleavage.

    just think its weird they would bother to edit something so completely unworthy of being edited...

    My Version is more appropriate editing, maybe they should use it instead of the cloud version.

    You should post this on the Steam forums, I'd be curious to see their response.

    Funny thing is on the Steam Store main page it looks like this:

    [​IMG]

    but on the Altitude store page it looks like this:

    [​IMG]

    The cloud is moving... :)

    Looking at it now, it kinda looks really stupid.

    This is what they should have done:

    Well really, the game has no cleavage in it... so it really is an appropriate edit. It is a very fun game however, so pick it up if you can...

    I've played this game since I was a kid, it is certainly my cup of tea. I kept our phone line busy for days playing the beta version of this game... :)

    Back on the topic, however... I think Altitude was trying to encourage people to try it by having a female character flying an airplane. Oddly enough, it probably worked because as soon as it was on Steam the number of players skyrocketed (most of them are horrible too, so its wonderful for me).

    Sorry but the contents of this thread thread violate NBR's standards. If you're unclear what I'm talking about, hit up the forum rules. Now that you've all had a bit of fun (and I've had some coffee), let's discuss some really enticing things like graphics drivers and pin modding (if they even still exist) :p
