Welcome to the NZFF February 2012 Screenshot Competition.
Sponsored by CaptainSim

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.
3a) No frames or 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 February 1st until midnight February 29th 2012, 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: The Freebies
1) Has to depict any DEFAULT MS aircraft but in a freeware NZ paint.
2) Has to feature a freeware NZ scenery add-on (though VLC/NZSI may be left intact). (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.

Auckland Territorial Air Squadron (TAF) repaint by Adrian Brausch, of the default (Acceleration) FSX P-51 - doing a high-speed low pass over Snowman's stunning Whenuapai (you should see it at night!).

I thought I'd get my Dak in there before everyone else does!

BTW - the list isn't comprehensive, but a quick search here: NZFSIM - default repaints search ... will bring up fair few *aircraft* repaints. If anyone spots a repaint that isn't on there, please PM me and I'll add it!

However - the sceneries will require a bit more research winkyy.gif

And - to clarify the *first* point ... it needs to be a DEFAULT Microsoft aircraft (just to level the playing field - and make it even harder laugh.gif).

Yep _ I didn't mean you laugh.gif laugh.gif laugh.gif ... I thought others would benefit, as there'd be a temptation to use any *Freeware* aircraft (with NZ paints) ... which would include loads of luvverly planes ... too easy!!! winkyy.gif

I had to put the default back in for the screen , 5.30 this afternoon finding out i missed the scenery and whoops almost mucked the system up .. deleted the default Dak again and rebuilt the FSX-CFG and 15 minutes ago it kick started again , 98GB of payware aircraft and only three off shore scenery ... think might go the solid state HD , appears to be more stable and course faster loading times .
