July Screenshot Competition

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

Postby Alex » Thu Jul 02, 2009 10:33 am



This is the 37th monthly screenshot competition, which is free to enter for all the members of NZFF. This month's competition has been kindly sponsored by Captain Sim; the winner will receive any one CaptainSim product they choose. Visit www.captainsim.com for a full listing of Captain Sim products.

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 resolution version saved on your computer; the admin may request it from you at the end of the month to convert into a site banner!

3) Also remember, try and make your shot suitable for a thin rectangular banner. Think about that when positioning your aircraft and choosing camera angles etc. (and please don't include any text on the image either)

4) Images can be submitted from July 2nd to July 31st 2009, with only one entry per member. You can change your submission before the closing date if you want, just delete the old one and replace it with a new one (by using the edit button at the bottom of your post. Please don't post saying you have edited your original entry, as this creates unnecessary clutter).

5) On July 31st, 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 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 'Mayday, mayday, mayday', how you interpret that is up to you.... wink.gif

All the best to everyone, lets see lots of entries guys! May the best screenshot win! ninja.gif

What do you need a texture for? Perhaps someone in the forum has a repaint on file somewhere

Reminds me of a story about a test flight for a [then] new auto-landing system - mounted on a Cessna - along the following lines:

Tower: "Looking good ... on glideslope ... on path"
Pilot: "Copy ... except we have a slight problem ..."
Tower: "Explain problem please"
Pilot: "We're inverted"

The pilot then aborted the auto land, flipped her the right way up and landed manually. Apparently they found a bug in the software that basically put in a negative where it should've been a positive. Arrrrgh!

Not a serious attempt, not engine failure, but cat failure (RNZN Waikato, RNZAF Skyhawk in the Hauraki Gulf)
