Banner Mania!

As peeps may have noticed, the NZFF banners seem to be dominated by the usual suspects (myself included). We've seen some stunning banners appear over the months and April 2025 is no exception:

Image

I'm sure the "old hands" don't mind keeping up the tradition, but it'd be great to see suggestions thrown into the mix!

Please read the notes below so we get the best quality images:


ELIGIBILITY
You need to be a registered NZFF member.

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 (any flight sim).
4) When posting, please supply information regarding sim used, aircraft model, location etc. (see above) so it can be added to the image if chosen. Please don't paste this info on the image itself (!).
5) Submit as many screenshots as you like - they'll be a good resource for future banners.

IMAGE FORMAT
6) The images must be at least 1200px wide - we want to scale them down .. not up!
7) 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.
8) No frames or text on the image please - see [4] above.
9) Keep the original uncompressed/high resolution version (BMP, PNG or TIFF) saved on your PC - it may be needed to get better definition for the banner!


Post your pics here (below)!

A "rave from the grave", eh? :lol: Looking forward to it all the same!
@Charl ... indeed! Mind you, it'll have to be a heck of a stunt to beat that banner of yours - I can't stop looking at it! >nzflag<

I don't mean to screen bomb you, but if I may throw one more into the mix.
I really like this one. Fenix A320, ZK-OXI on a remote stand, on a wet Christchurch afternoon....a bit different aye.

Lovely shot - but [sadly] I don't think I can shoe-horn it into the wide letter-box shape of the banners. Do you have a slightly zoomed out version?

The current AFS4 Steam beta has been updated to include new scenery for Brisbane and surrounds. YBBN now has two runways and modelled terminals, and the city itself has some custom buildings and bridges as well as autogen housing and streetlamps. Looks best at dusk.
