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 at http://www.faststone.org/FSResizerDownload.htm

4: Images can be submitted from May 1st until midnight May 31st 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.

I was planning on the Ant's and the Moth's keeping the sandfly's away. Do you think it will work?

A tribute to Leo and Vivian Walsh, Pioneer Aviators. Vivian Walsh was the first New Zealander to obtain an “Aviators’s Certificate.â€￾ Above a Farman Voisin biplane similar to the “Manurewa 1â€￾ flown from Glenora Park - Takanini, Auckland, in February 1911. Manukau in the background and Takanini Glenora Racecourse below.

Bi (two) planes. F-35's over Christchurch[/quote]

Na the f-35 is so bad you need 4 to be equal to two. Good shot through

Nice screen Bruce cool.gif , amazing to think the 'New Zealand Permanent Air Force' operated these aircraft right up to 1936 and were still on charge use as instructional airframes with the RNZAF until 1939 .

Nice theme, should make for some fun pics this month. Loving the pics so far

Now - just to be the anti-fun guy for a minute, would be good to see everyone honor the NZ territory thing and post pics that have some recognisable scenery/landscape/feature in them, or at least be an aircraft livery that's clearly NZ oriented. There's a few screenies every month pretty much that are awesome in their own right and fit the theme of the month, but don't seem to be over anything you would recognise as NZ landscape.

Just saying New_Zealand_etc.gif
