October screenshot competition

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

Postby Ian Warren » Sun Oct 04, 2009 6:15 pm

This is the 40th monthly screenshot competition, which is free to enter for all the members of NZFF. This month's competitions prize is a little different , a Collectors item ,

Flight of the Kiwi by Cliff Tait
It is a second hand book , simply because it has not been published for many years , but a copy could be yours thumbup1.gif

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 October 4st to October 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 November 1st, a poll will open and run to November 4th 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 'Your favorite flight sim aircraft over any photoreal scenery area in New Zealand '
you have to capture both in the screen shot

Around the world solo in a tiny Single engined plane , 1969 ... this 25th October is Cliffs 80th Birthday , so i may ask him to be to the Judge , so i want all you people to step up to the mark .

What was Cliff's plane? Is it available for FS? It'd be a great honour for him if we could produce some shots that included it!
