One thing I have noticed in most Cresco screenshots (in this thread and others) is that there is plenty of up-elevator being applied. I had the same problem everytime I took screens too. The issue is quite simple - trim !! The Cresco needs lots of nose up, especially at full weight to fly on an even keel.

.... quickly runs off to check his own screenshot ... phew!!! Yes - I've noticed in the past that you really can't avoid using the trim wheel on the Cresco. I tend to use it a lot on all my props, to be honest. What I like about the Cresco is you have to change it as you dump your load ... awesome!

My comment wasn't meant as criticism in anyway towards the great screenshots, rather just an observation about something I had a problem with myself.

Was too obvious if I used the Cresco and to be honest other people are doing it more justice with their screens than I can !! So I decided to turn the clock back to the what got everything started in this iconic NZ industry.

No offence taken, I'm lucky if I can actually keep any aircraft in the air long enough to take a screenshot. It took me a week to figure out that my joystick throttle had no effect in Prepar3D, which explained a lot of bad landings...

If you have ADE, you can open the object library from his scenery and I thought you might have done it that way. One of my near future projects is to get a series of loaders and other topdressing related scenery objects into a scenery library for people to use for future projects.

I have to say, without a shadow of a doubt, out of the many years NZFF has run a screeny competition- this month's entry's are by far the best!
Every shot is winning quality, well done guys!

Just don't tell "The Bug" (Bugdani) about the comp

.. or we may as well all give up right now!

What's the worst that could happen? He wins one month, maybe the next, but imagine the kick it would give to the comp -- by month three I bet a lot of members would have redefined the 'screenshot as art.' Bring it on, Bug!

It is art Rob.....i love it.....all this talent, this could become the "louvre" of the flightsim world. Maybe some of the screen maestros could run master classes......
