Welcome to the NZFF August 2011 Screenshot Competition.


This month's rules are as follows (Please read them).

1) The screenshot image must consist of a screen captured from a Flight Simulator program (FS2004 or FSX,) and the position of the shot must be from somewhere within the New Zealand territory.

2) Some editing is allowed (if you know how to do it.) Additional images - either screenshots or "real" images can be added - but the main component of the image should always be of a Flight sim screen capture.

3) The images must be jpg and size must be at least 1024 pixels wide and no wider than 1280 pixels -- A good free resizing program can be found at http://bluefive.pair.com/pixresizer.htm.
No txt to be left on the image. 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!

4) Images can be submitted from 1st of August until midnight 31st August 2011, with only one entry of a single image per member.
You can change your image anytime up until 1 hour before the closing time.
To change use the edit button at the bottom of your post, just delete the old one and replace it with a new one If you post comments using the quote or reply button please edit out all images from your reply or quote.

If you have any queries about the rules please PM me for clarification before posting your entry.

5) Soon after the competition ends, a poll will open for members to decide who has the best image, and then the winner will have a cropped version of their image appear in the NZFF banner as well as receiving the prize for the month.

6) This month's theme: Any Cargo aircraft flying anywhere in New Zealand (Please state Aircraft details and over what part of New Zealand the image was taken)

I ask all members to please patronize all our very generous prize sponsors.
We have an excellent prize for this month’s competition very generously donated by

The voting will take place after the competition closes at the end of the month and the winner with the highest vote get a prize.

For the August competition prizes winners can pick a product of their choice from the
Download site.

Thank you this month’s prize sponsor Captainsim

Feel a bit stupid being first in but I like the look of this one. Will probably change later.

CS727 in RNZAF clothes over realnz Marlborough. Does this particular 727 model count as cargo? (727-100F I think)

Nothing stupid about being first! You set the bar high already LF thumbup1.gif

Not sure about the cargo side of the RNZAF 727 though, all the trips I did in them over the years they were predominantly people movers winkyy.gif

The KC-10 can transport up to 76,560 kilograms of cargo a distance of about 4,400 miles (7,040 kilometers) unrefueled.
So I assume it can be classed as a cargo carrier

Lovely Mike, great shot, lovely aircraft too.
BTW, did anyone else read the article by Brian Lockstone in June-2011 issue of NZ Aviation News about the C46's being used by Safe-Air in the 50's for cross-straight freight work
