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.

3) Images can be submitted from December 1st to December 31st 2006, with only one entry per member. You can change your submission if you want, just delete the old one and replace it with a new one.

4) On December 31st, a poll will open and run for a few days to decide who has the best image, then the winner will have a cropped version of there image appear in the NZFF banner as well as receiving the RedBaronEntertainment prize!

5) Editing is allowed, if you know how to do it. The more stunning your shots look the better!

haha nice on there

[ZK-MAT]

We may as well close the competition right now Spectacular shot there Mike!

[towerguy]

does a shot of my EMPTY beer fridge count?

[Charl]

...if you were telling the truth, YES!
But I also vote we close the competition now, send Mike to the Cooks, and have a party with pictures of the inside of our fridges.

[towerguy]

I am telling the truth - I put a lot of hard work and dedicated effort into getting it empty

[Cbris]

I see the "Pimp Aviation Dude" is being a showoff again. Chosen a spectator place on the display line. Great shot there! But scary? Not for "the Dude"

Thinks: hmmm... could be an interesting compo to enter. (With my flying abilities - or rather disregard of them )

We may as well close the competition right now Spectacular shot there Mike!

Lol - I was just thinking the exact same thing Matt

[Zöltuger]

Go around?

Heres my picture As a ANZ 747 desperately climbs in altitude to avoid colliding with the dash 8


As you can see, I finally got my new computer up and running, and found some pleasing results

Nice picture brownbox, say, isn't that a Saab though?

[brownbox]

say, isn't that a Saab though?

wouldnt have a clue...
they all look the same to me, those little double prop planes

[Alex]

Ah right, how did you get into that situation, follow some AI around for a while?

Alex

[brownbox]

I was testing FS9 on my computer, then when I took off from Auckland on my way to Wellington, I came across this AI craft. Then I remembered there was a screenshot comp here, so I just flew up to the craft, paused the sim, took the picture, edited, and kept flying .

[ZK-MAT]

Nice picture there!

(Previous questions about snow covered mountains removed - I have read the other thread now and the image has been changed back)

[bernd1151]

Nope, none of those missed midair collisions here, just one of those nasty weather situations that might add some exitement to your flying experience in an open cockpit

[Cbris]

OK, time for a really scary situation, because if you aren't scared a bit, you shouldn't fly this kind of thing...

Wanake - the "Vingt et un" pair of Eagles paying a visit (a couple more screenies in the general screenie thread). [edit] After looking through my sequences again, I chose this moment as the scariest. Our wingtips were actually inside the opposite number's wing pair, and that at combined relative speed of 280 Kts.



Sweaty palms stuff and a healthy dose of scaredness...

[brownbox]

hey now theres a good one! Would be even more scary if the engine stopped

[bernd1151]

As the old saying goes: the propeller has the function to keep the pilot cool. You won't believe it? Wait and see him starting to sweat when the engine stops running.
