NZFF

Treat this as a suggestion for an UNOFFICIAL screen comp. Maybe Rob will be able to set up some voting for it later on.

1) ONE pic only per person.

2) As we're not limited to *banner* format - any size/shape will do ... though maybe 1024px wide maximum.

3) Any Spitfire ... any place ... any time!

4) Editing allowed - though (obviously) the original screengrab has to be from MSFS.

5) A short paragraph of info: MSFS version, aircraft maker/version, addons used etc. etc.

6) Closing date: End of July.

7) Prize? A ride in the back seat of Doug Brooker's 2-seat Spit. Only kidding!!!

That could have been the greatest prize ever.

jeesh i may have to beat up my credit card again and get the Realair 2008 set

Well.....any excuse to fly suits me

Ok, so noones put any pics up for this yet, so I'll get the ball rolling!



[Edit]
Sorry - forgot to add: FSX, RealAir Spit 2008, over Godzone NZPP (not that you can tell!)

Well there go s the elevators ..

Nonsense - its not half as bad as it looks! Its just a trick of the light!

In no danger of overstressing the elevators or airframe:-



Spit overhead Hawea flat, FSX and RealNZ scenery and the RealAir Spit.

Smooth landings.

Question on rule #4, how much editing, is too much editing? Would a composite be crossing the line?

Shane , edit to your hearts consent ! build , create , make and paint . RULE No.4 is an old guideline , Being a art critic i can draw a line , big thing is , i have a very open mind .. well destructive as well in the since i like impressions .. may offend some people but many ways can tell a story

Ive done so many over the past few days,.....but I'll throw this in the pot.
Real Air, FSX, Location...airbourne....minor editing, nothing added.

OK then,

but if this is a little "too much" ,

I'll be happy to replace it.


And I should probably mention,

that no 'real' spitfires were harmed in the making of this edit.

Difficult to say (!). Lifting an aircraft out of one image and "plonking" it over some unrelated background would be a shame, IMHO - but that's only my opinion - the rules are up for grabs!

I tend to want to be able to show off something that's possible from MSFS (albeit with a few add-ons) rather than showing off my own Photoshop skills (or lack of!!!).

I think a camera is a good analogy. We can have cheap cameras, or spend a fortune on good lenses etc. ... but it's being in the right place at the right time and composing the image *at that moment* that creates a good photograph - or captures that memory.

Long-winded as usual ... I'd say if you make "substantial" edits - just tell us what you did ... it'll be interesting nonetheless!

Sometimes, I'm the poster child for abuse.

I love the Spit, but every now & then,

a 109 was able to get the better of them. (but not very often )

Had to give a little credit where credit was due. LOL!

I'll be replacing that one, with something a little less drastic.

You could be right Adam , but with all these tools we have and with Shane,s recent screen show's the best off what can be done , its not tie the hand s but see what can be done with them
