December Screenshot Competition

Post and comment on screen captures from the beautiful game here. Home of the monthly screenshot competition

This month, the winner of the screenshot competition will receive the Carenado's brand spanking new Mooney 201 M20J payware addon for FS2004, which can be viewed at Carenado.com, valued at $30 (NZ) ... Now that's an incentive for you all to enter!

Here is our 20th 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 should suitable for a thin rectangular banner. Think about that what positioning your aircraft and camera angles etc.

4) Images can be submitted from November 30th 2007 to January 5th 2008, 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 January 5th, 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 'Carenado' 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 'Dan's 737s', where you must showcase one of his awesome repaints of the Vistaliner's 737 (FS9 and FSX compatable). Repaints can be downloaded for free here.

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

All the best to everyone, lets see lots of entries guys! May the best man win! :ph43r:

Yup, you need sounds and a panel though, I suggest for a panel, go to www.fs-freeware.net and get the 737-400 for fsx. Works a treat and as far as I know -300 and -400 are very similar.


So only his Air New Zealand repaints?

Brock my screenshots in this thread here are taken in FSX. If anyone wants to know how to get it to work in FSX, including a good FSX panel, send me a p.m and I'll help you out.

I've changed the rules to just any of his 737 repaints rather than just ZK's, most of them are based from around here of the Pacific anyway.

I thought you had upgraded your machine? If so, why no anti-aliasing? Your shots are all still jaggy? :huh:

Anti-aliasing bring the FPS down a huge amount but I think it was the jpeg or something as all my pics come out like that for some reason (and there was the cropping)
