Week 3 1/2!

This week it's wafu448's turn to chose a photograph, after he won with this shot -

His photograph of choice is HERE

The aircraft can be found here:

http://www.projectopensky.com/downloads.php?aircraft=f9slo&location=basepackage

and the skin here:

http://www.projectopensky.com/downloadfile.php?filename=SAos-A330-300-Dragonair2....

Remember, the aim is to mimic the photograph as closely as possible

without editing

. The winner is the person who is judged via a poll to have the most realistic screenshot. They then go on to choose the photograph for the next week's competition.

Rules

1. No editing of any kind.

2. Screenshot must fit SimV guidelines: dimensions, file size etc.

3. All screenshots must be posted in this thread as a link or 5k thumbnail - we don't want to break the thread.

4. One screenshot per person: once an entry is submitted, it may not be changed or replaced with a different one. This is to keep the confusion to a minimum, and to maintain forum integrity. Entries may be withdrawn from the contest, but no additional entries from that member will be accepted.

5. The shot can be an old one, but given it's being based on a photograph, the chances of anyone doing so are slim.

6. Freeware aircraft only please, payware scenery is permitted, however you need not necessarily use the link posted here.

7. The competition closes at 8pm GMT on Saturday 17th October

8. Please can the winner send the photo for the next week's competition to me by 8pm GMT on Monday 19th October.

Good Luck!

If you have any questions or suggestions please feel free to PM me or post here.

The fs9 aircraft is here
http://www.simviation.com/cgi-bin/syb.cgi?section=vintage&file=stb_t6harvsaaf.zi...

and I had to convert the texture(s) 1. so that it would show the correct side number
2. so that it would show in FSX

I think you'd get more entries if there was an easily available livery and aircraft for FS.....maybe the person who chooses the pic would also have to provide a link to at least one download (livery) that can be used.....I would love to enter, but don't personally have the time or inclination to go trawling the internet for a specific livery or creating/modifying one.

I have to agree with Mic. It's the main reason I have not entered any of these.

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.
