Actually, competition failures are most likely to qualify for airing here.
Nobody would guess the time and trouble it took me to set up all my Sabres on the apron (for my 3rd favourite pic) and get a second wing to overfly and break right as they came into frame.
The picture could've been shopped in 5 minutes, and everybody assumed it was so. Ho hum.

Out of 3,938 screenshots i had to choose one...

Has anyone got more than me? see who's got most

My screenshot folder in My Pictures takes up 11.4 GB...

Anyway here's the screenshot:

Its not the best in my folder, the this is definitely the best angle looking at a 74...

mmmm , I'm just lucky the number of screenies dont match the paywares .... WHOOPS !

This was very very hard to choose...I did most of my flying this year in New Zealand and made alot of screenshots. In the end I figured I just had to choose one from my Warbirds Over Wanaka airshow as it was the most memorable thing I did in FS this year

There were over 100 shots of the show too, but I chose this shot because it shows the Wanaka area off nicely and also because the Lanc's were a highlight of the show!

Cheers!

I was waiting for one of these, Florian!
WOW was one of the screenshot events of the year, alright, and I agree totally with your subject pick.
Wait just a minnit while I go looking, I don't want to have to repeat myself...
this is what I said at the time:
You saw it first at WOW!

nearly a dozen Merlins in the air, brings a tear to the eye.
Dunno why, it's just a machine really...

You have to wonder what's taking Wingman so long...does he really have more payware than screenshots???

Cant remeber if this one was 2008 but this has to be my favorite shot modded for a banner comp as a GIF

by **CDTDAN** » Tue Dec 30, 2008 11:29 am

That shot is awsome!

by **cirrusnature** » Tue Dec 30, 2008 4:11 pm

I like this one because of the splash of colour from the plane.

That's a beauty all right ... but that fence .... arrrrgh! Time to get the virtual bulldozer out

Anti-Aliasing won't get rid of it either.

Like Robin, there is no Aircraft to clutter the shot- Just a show off of some nice data and and a nice rendering engine

Nice one, Timmo ... *very* nice! Is that an airfield on top of that mountain? If so, where is it? Shang-ri-la?

by **Timmo** » Sun Jan 25, 2009 10:13 am

Yeah it is although it is no longer in use I believe- It is at the top of Mount Tarawera on the north eastern bit.

I tossed up whether to include a flatten for it when I released that bit of scenery but it didnt look right since it is a sloping runway in real life)

Is this FSX and if it is what Scenery are you using??
Looks like Robin's Auckland Scenery

by **creator2003** » Sun Jan 25, 2009 7:33 pm

Yes its Robins Auckland scenery in FSX ...

Though Robin's AKL scenery was created for FS2004, it works pretty well in FSX (you just need to add a couple of tiny exclude BGL files). There's the odd clash with NZ Topo roads, but it all looks pretty good. I'm not sure whether a revised AKL is that high on Rob's FSX list, so it's still worth getting - as you may end up running it for a fair while.

As with all of Rob's sceneries - if you're even half thinking of buying any - just do it! You won't regret it! I appear to have collected the whole set now - but I ran out of money to get the high-res mesh, so I'm still missing a bit of NZ eye-candy!
