Re: Your favourite screen shot so far this year.

[simonh]

Very impressive. Great aircraftin a superb colour scheme.
My choice(s) would be your second shot of the Habu and, showing my bias, Hasegawas C-130.
There are a lot of others but...

[Splitpin]

Just did a bit of editing re the grammar on my post....fingers ahead of brain, I hope it makes sense now.

[Charl]

So: Notable moments... Nice thread.
I will immediately break the rules.
About this time last year, I discovered you could drive a boat in FS20.

[simonh]

Charl, that looks incredibly fast.... maybe it's a "flying" boat...

[Splitpin]

Great shot Charl , what a sleek looking beast.

[Adamski]

Is this a favourite of your own screenshot (of the year) - or any shot posted here by anyone else (almost like a screencomp)? Interesting on both counts!

[Splitpin]

Adam, I think any stand out shot by anybody including your self...it was just a thought.

OK - I did a trawl of the Screenshots category: 458 topics across 23 pages ... off you go, chaps!

I think I'll just rifle my Postimages galleries to see what the heck I've been posting all year!

I'm afraid I'm going to have to CHEAT! I can't find one single image that puts the rest to shame ... but found seven pics that I enjoyed taking - for different reasons:

1) I think this an X-Plane shot - probably my favourite if forced to choose (though it's hard to not like *any* Spitfire shot:


2) I still have vivid memories of this awesome aircraft in RL:


3) A bit of formation canoeing at NZMF:


4) More fun at NZMF:


5) The Harrier - one of my favourite aircraft. This one's over Wales:


6) Not so much a stunning shot - more just an evocative *angle* of the wonderful ZK-DAK and the memories of it in RL:


7) The "classic" pose to finish with:


Adam.

[Charl]

I do like your Spits, Adam.
But since we have more than one favourite ('course we do!)
Here's one that I will always remember.
I don't recall if it was the first MSFS 2020 shot ever, but it was the one that made me catch my breath.



I subsequently doctored the tail to have a more NZ flavour, but that exists in some other dimension, somewhere.

[jankees]

here's a few of my favorites, a few with a NZ flavour

I don't fly or paint a lot of helicopters, but this one was fun:

[Charl]

Can see why they are favourites!
The subjects of the first two shots are absolutely ingrained in my sim.
Thanks once again for giving us all these wonderful paints.

[VintageAirplaneFanNZ]

I tried so hard to find one but I got it down to 6! LOL!! All from X-Plane 12.

[Adamski]

Ooooh ... a decent T-6 for MSFS 2024 would be *so* welcome!!!

[VintageAirplaneFanNZ]

Ooooh ... a decent T-6 for MSFS 2024 would be *so* welcome!!!

This is the Khamsin T6. I dont think its been updated for XP12 yet...hoping it is as its a really nice handler.
I thought there was a nice one already for MSFS 2024?

[Adamski]

Nah ... only half working ... and not a patch on the old A2A model

[VintageAirplaneFanNZ]

Just watched a vid...looks nice but quite a few switches were 'inoperable.' As the reviewer mentioned it could be louder in the cockpit, and it had some weird shadow artificing in the external view but at least you have one that comes with the sim! I just checked and there is a very nice one in the X-Plane org store, but at US$34 it wont be in my hangar anytime soon.

[Charl]

While this shot was done in my sim, it is almost a clone of one that John Terrell did of his Mustang repaint, at Duxford.
I loved the composition, and wondered if I could duplicate it.
Bit like a Real vs Sim exercise!

[Adamski]

Super shot! Just a note to peeps ... click on the image link to see it full size - you won't regret it!

[Aharon]

Cannot believe I have missed that thread because I did NOT notice it before!!

GREAT GREAT screenshots, everybody
