As everyone here will know, I'm a bit of a screenshot junkie. Since the demise of our own screeencomp, I continue to enter the ORBX one (which has to feature ORBX scenery).

The three below are all eligible, but I just can't decide which one to enter. Every time I pick one, the other two look great. HELP!!!

MSFS - PMDG DC-6 coming in to Leeds/Bradford:

MSFS - AH MkIa Spitfire (Al Deere) over a modern Duxford:

MSFS - Dave Garwood's superb DH89a Rapide near Glenorchy:

Please vote quickly if you can - I need to enter by the end of this month!

TIA ... Adam.

Thanks, Naki! #1 was my original choice ... but then I really liked #3 (Rapide). After that, I felt sorry for the poor old Spit ...

Maybe you should get a couple of other members to enter the other two for you then maybe you will see which one is best :P

Nice idea :ph43r: :ph43r: :ph43r: :lol: ! BUT ... sadly not possible, as I had to check all three pics with ORBX beforehand - in case there wasn't enough ORBX in them!!! Iain, who moderates the comp there is a really nice bloke and often puts me right.

My board settings seem not to display the voting option, but for displaying ORBX: #3, by a mile!
Nice Rapide, too.

Hmmm ... that's an odd one. Thanks, though - I'll use my vote as yours ... !

Thanks, Nick! Keep 'em coming!!! I've uploaded a temporary placeholder for the comp, as I often leave it to the last minute and get muddled with time differences and miss the deadline. The joys of old age ...

What is the theme of the screenshot comp (if any)?

Unlike our own comps in the past, ORBX comps don't have a theme: anything goes - as long as the shot has a fair bit of (native) ORBX content.

This "ORBX content" stipulation used to be quite simple - when all they produced were specific areas, cities or airports - but they now also produce mesh data etc. - as well as sell other products (from other companies) via ORBX Central/ORBX Direct. Add to that mix the fact that some of their sceneries are developed by other developers.

The benefit to us Kiwis is that ORBX mesh covers the whole of NZ, so (theoretically) any shot with a landscape background (ie. not mainly sky!) would be OK. That said - a backround of a flat green paddock isn't exactly showing a lot of mesh, so you have to use your head. Similarly - close-up shots of freeware or other peoples' airports wouldn't go down well - even though they're in NZ.

So ... I sometimes run my proposed entries past Iain at ORBX to check. He's always been friendly and helpful.
