ORBITER ADDON COMPETITION

This is the results of a thread started by the now banned Nickmick95 from Orbiter-Forum in which was organized a contest for AddOn developers (not much different from this: http://orbiter.dansteph.com/forum/read.php?f=1&i=18684&t=18626#reply_18684 (yes Ar81, I've not forgot that). But the Nickmick95 was banned while running the contest, so Talon1 took over the thread running it quiet well until some of DigTech's best judges and analist (it's actually just one person) joined on running the contest with Talon1.
Here's the original thread: http://orbiter-forum.com/showthread.php?t=4285 if you need more information.

And Here is the first results by NukeET http://www.orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=3646
So the file structure looks well done specially by adding the documentation on "AddOn's doc" and it can easly be installed. The description at Orbit Hangar mods is really detailed and worth reading with no notice of grammar mistakes and the title is not overappealing.
But after testing the given scenarios, I noticed some problems, like the MapMFD don't show the location of the base on it, just "know" the base is there. 
Anyway the overall is great: a big well designed base with many pads and the symbolicLazy D's Tribute near.
So by now the stars are:

Talon1 Stars: 4.75 stars (9.5 out of 10)

Nettiquete: 4.9 stars

User-friendlyness: Not Considered for ground bases

Realism: 5 stars

Funcionality: 5 stars

Overall view: 3.8 stars
