February Screenshot Competition

Post and comment on screen captures from the beautiful game here. Home of the monthly screenshot competition

Postby ardypilot » Mon Feb 02, 2009 6:50 pm



This month Orbx Simulation System are sponsoring our screenshot competition. This means that the person who gets the most votes for the best screenshot at the end of the month will receive any one ORBX product of their choice, free of charge! These products can be viewed at orbxsystems.com/products... Now that's an incentive for you all to enter!

Note- whilst this comp is open to both FS9 and FSX users, the Orbx prize is exclusively for use with FSX. This means that, if a FS9 user does win with the most votes, the prize will be passed down to a FSX user with the next highest amount of votes, however, the original winner's screenshot will still be cropped into the banner. Remember, it's not the winning that counts- it's the taking part that matters!

This is the 33rd monthly screenshot competition, which is free to enter for all the members of NZFF.

This month's rules are as follows:

1) The screenshot must be from a Flight Simulator program (FS2004, FSX, X-Plane, etc), and the position of the shot must be somewhere over New Zealand territory.

2) The image size must be as close as possible to 984 pixels wide- read the uploading screenshot guide to find out how to re-size your shot. Please keep a high resolution version saved on your computer; the admin may request it from you at the end of the month to convert into a site banner!

3) Also remember, try and make your shot suitable for a thin rectangular banner. Think about that when positioning your aircraft and choosing camera angles etc. (and please don't include any text on the image either)

4) Images can be submitted from February 2nd 2009 to February 28th 2009, with only one entry per member. You can change your submission before the closing date if you want, just delete the old one and replace it with a new one (by using the edit button at the bottom of your post. Please don't post saying you have edited your original entry, as this creates unnecessary clutter).

5) On February 28th, a poll will open and run for a few days to decide who has the best image, then the winner will have a cropped version of their image appear in the NZFF banner as well as receiving the Orbx prize!

6) Editing is allowed, if you know how to do it. The more stunning your shots look the better!

7) This month's theme is 'From the inside, looking out'. Time to showcase your favorite aircraft's virtual cockpit!

All the best to everyone, lets see lots of entries guys! May the best screenshot win! ninja.gif

Yay! Another superb prize!!! Whilst I'm on FSX - and would therefore hope to be the ONLY FSX entrant winkyy.gif ... I'm wondering if FS9 winners may still want the prize <?> ... consider it an inducement to upgrade laugh.gif

Seriously though - there may be ppl with FSX flagged as "imminent".

I'm not too worried about winning the prize, as I don't have FSX...I've just never entered screenshot competitions before smile.gif
