NZFF

This month, a member called 'trihelm' aka Rick from the UK, has donated a brand new Flight1 CD-ROM as the prize for this month's screenshot competition. This means that the person who wins with the best screenshot this time around will receive the 'Ultimate Airliners Super80' payware addon which can be viewed at Flight1.com, valued at $52 (NZ) ... Now that's an incentive for you all to enter!

Here is our 19th monthly Screenshot Competition, which is free to enter for all the members of NZFF*

This month's rules are as follows:

1) The screenshot must be from a Flight Simulator program (FS2004, FSX, X-Plane, etc), and the position of the shot must be somewhere over New Zealand territory.

2) The image size must be as close as possible to 984 pixels wide- read the uploading screenshot guide to find out how to re-size your shot. Please keep a high res version saved on your computer as the admin may request it from you at the end of the month to convert it into a site banner!

3) Also remember, try and make your shout suitable for a thin rectangular banner. Think about that what positioning your aircraft and camera angles etc.

4) Images can be submitted from November 1st to November 30th 2007, with only one entry per member. You can change your submission if you want, just delete the old one and replace it with a new one (by pressing the edit button, to the top right of your post. Please don't make new posts saying you have edited your original post as this makes the thread cluttered).

5) On November 30th, a poll will open and run for a few days to decide who has the best image, then the winner will have a cropped version of their image appear in the NZFF banner as well as receiving the 'Super80' prize!

6) Editing is allowed, if you know how to do it. The more stunning your shots look the better!

7) This month's theme is 'Mean Machines', be creative!

* As we are offering payware prizes, each member who enters must have at least a 2 month membership (signed up before the end of August) at NZFF before they can enter.

All the best to everyone, lets see lots of entries guys! May the best man win!

Be good to have a bunch more entries this month - have a look at thisfor some inspiration

this machine has been out along time ,used by many ," nemeth brosAS350" and this alone makes it one hell of a mean machine of all time

Cool little touch there with the lights Mike.

Must be a lot of ag work in Marlborough at the moment! Ray Patchet comes home to Omaka in his freshly imported PZL Dromader after a hard days work. Why is this a mean machine you ask? Any aircraft that is this big and has the undercarrige bolted on with four bolts per leg deserves this title!

great looking shots everyone! Perhaps Ill be in there this month...

Air NZ 737 Turning onto final for Runway 23L (during a Visual RNAV 23L approach)

Auckland 2005 and PMDG 737NG

Not bad man, I think the lights are just a bit too bright.

I dont join anymore because to many people are just editing their photos making it impossible for any other people without photo shop to win. It was better a couple months ago when no 1 edited

If you look at the winners of the screenshot competition (in the Community Discussion Forum), most screenshots win because they are an excellent shot with minimal editing, rather than an average shot with a lot of editing. Go check it out.

Don't be too down.
Use GIMP.
I wish I had Photoshop but I don't and someone recommended GIMP. It can actualy do anything Photoshop can do and it's free.
