Welcome to the NZFF March 2013 Screenshot Competition.


This month's rules are as follows (Please read them).


If you have any queries about the rules please PM me for clarification before posting your entry.

1) The screenshot image must consist of a screen captured from a Flight Simulator program (FS2004, FSX or P3D) and the position of the shot must be from somewhere within the New Zealand territory.

2) Some editing is allowed (if you know how to do it.) Additional images - either screenshots or "real" images can be added - but the main component of the image should always be of a Flight sim screen capture.

3) The images must be jpg and size must be at least 1024 pixels wide and no wider than 1280 pixels --
A good free resizing program can be found at http://www.faststone.org/FSResizerDownload.htm Faststone resize how to http://nzff.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=17934&hl=
3a) No frames or txt to be left on the image. 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!

4) Images can be submitted from March 1st until midnight 31st March 2013, with only one entry of a single image per member.
You can change your image anytime up until 1 hour before the closing time.
To change use the edit button at the bottom of your post, just delete the old one and replace it with a new one If you post comments using the quote or reply button please edit out all images from your reply or quote.

5) Soon after the competition ends, a poll will open for members to decide who has the best image, and then the winner will have a cropped version of their image appear in the NZFF banner as well as receiving the prize for the month.

6) This month's theme: “KNIGHTS OF THE SKYâ€￾ (Please state Aircraft details and over what part of New Zealand the image was taken)

I ask all members to please patronize all our very generous prize sponsors.

The voting will take place after the competition closes at the end of the month and the winner with the highest vote will get the prize.

For the Month competition prize winner can pick a download product of their choice from

My goodness Ian, I wouldn't like to be flying in that bit of crowded sky, positively fatal I would think - and that's not just from the bullets!

In relation to the competition, it can really mean anything you want it to mean. One way to start is to google it, and see what comes up. One interesting result is the Omaka museum.
In a case like this, when the theme is tricky, I like to think about it for a week or two. In this case, an idea popped into my head when I first read the theme, so I'll work on that.

Noobie Ness , biggrin.gif , The real defining word for a "Knight of the Sky" can lead to any combat aircraft really but the history name came from WWI , but this can be lead by any Country , for example: in Vietnam the USAF pilot respected the VNAF simply for the courage , puts them into the category , doing battle in the sky! .... Knights cool.gif

True, but he was a knight of the sky. I applied a bit of poetic license to add a bit of drama

Well, if you want a true Knight of the Realm, try this one.....

Sir Paul Holmes..

OK, ok, I knew he "flew" Stearmans but I haven't got one... try a Waco, I'm sure he could have bent this one as well....

Entered as a bit of fun rather than a serious entry, with apologies to those who actually know what they're doing in Photoshop etc.
