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

4) Images can be submitted from October 1st until midnight 31st October 2012, with only one entry of a single image per member.

Rounding the sand-spit above the Port Waikato settlement in an Alpha/Robin turning back to Hamilton. Karioi in the background along the coast line. This is a trip I've taken in real life with a friend who flys this very machine. Great fun to replicate this sort of thing and pick out the sights along the way smile.gif

Must admit alfashark, that is the best shot of the Albatross I have seen yet in the sim... Nicely composed screenie to suit the theme as well.

I hadn't checked the new arrivals before my photo session so didn't spot Doug's Farewell Spit shot till too late, so this may change ...



The JF Bae 146 farewelling the South Island. I tried really hard, poodling around the North Island in my cannibalised PZL Wilga, but neither the aircraft nor the scenery could match this setting.

As ever ... loads of "worthy" rejects ... which ended up here.

Good to see BobL beavering away!
