Congratulations to charl for his superb ATR shot:

Many thanks to everyone that submitted screenshots - it's great to see them appearing here again!

Though we now have some excellent "spares" in the archive, any submissions for September would be greatly appreciated!

It's not a competition as such - more a means to get some good images for monthly banners - so no voting required.
The best image is chosen by a panel. Entries that don't get selected for that month go into storage for possible use later. The guidelines are similar to what we have used in the past:



ELIGIBILITY
Entry is open to all registered NZFF members.

THE SCREENSHOT
1) The screenshot image must consist of a screen captured from any flight sim.
2) *If possible*, the image should be captured somewhere over New Zealand (this is NZFF, after all) or have some sort of a connection to NZ.
3) Editing is OK: additional images can be added (either real or other screenshots), but the main component of the image should always be from a flight sim.
4) Submit as many screenshots as you like (yes, really!).

IMAGE FORMAT
5) The images must be jpg and must be at least 1200px wide (we want to scale them down .. not up!).
6) Bear in mind that the final banner crops to around 1200px * 380px, which is quite a narrow letter-box shape - so try to compose your shot so as not to lose areas of high interest. Don't worry too much about cropping - the final crop will be made when creating the banner.
7) No frames or text on the image.
8) Keep the original uncompressed/high resolution version (BMP or TIFF) saved on your PC - we may request it to get better definition for the banner!
9) If possible, please add details of the aircraft depicted and general scenery/location information when you post the pic.

Post your September pics here (below)!

Adam.

Cheers, chaps.
I think it's a good plan to build up a portfolio of Banner candidates, and might just spur the reticent into dropping some more NZ - type screens in, every now and then!

I have no idea why these two are usually parked at the aeroclub, but I'm always impressed by the amount of dust they kick up!

A handful, from FS9 and FSX. All at NZ locations, except the still from my Vintage Airshow AI which includes a Bleriot, just like you can see flying at Omaka.
