THE JUNE SCREENSHOT CONTEST

This Month's Theme Is Titled...

"Special to Me..."

This month's contest all about
What is most special to you!

We all have joined this wonderful Flight Simming community for different reasons,
and this is your chance to share a special experience,
or that extra special freeware addon you've found, with your fellow simmers!
This contest will require you to take a shot using Freeware addons, that are either special to you in some way, or help to tell the story of a special moment in aviation that you have had.

Whether it was your first ride on a jumbo, or maybe a great visit to your local grass field,
tell us about it with your shot, and a short paragraph describing what's going on.

With all of the great freeware addons available,
any special moment can be captured.

* We would also ask if you could post a link or mention where you got the aircraft-scenery from.
* Remember to support SimV when you can!

* Please see Screenshot Example below...

* EXAMPLE *

A-340

"My first trip abroad, traveling in that giant,
thinking the wings would surely give up the fight,
but they held on tight.
A powerful and majestic bird,
she screamed and clawed at the runway,
and then lifted into the sky."

Addons Used in this example:
-Project Airbus A340 Freeware
-NL2000 Freeware Scenery
-HDE Freeware Clouds
-PAI Freeware Traffic

2. The Simviation Monthly Screen Shot Contest is OPEN TO ANYBODY who wants to test their skills! Whether you are a newbie or an avid Simviation poster, we want to see what you got!

I think that's a hard theme, but it will definately produce some fantastic shots.

I'm trying to think of how to put 'I did well in primary school so I was allowed to get a game from Toys 'R Us' into an image. I'll get it eventually Grin

This contest will require you to take a shot of your favorite Freeware addon,
and then tell us a little bit about why it is special for you.

The more I read this, the more confused I am.

Two words stand out: "or" and "favorite".

I read it as follows: share a special experience or that extra special freeware addon you've found.
Second, this contest will require you to take a shot of your favorite freeware addon.

Anything I have as it pertains to FS is my "favorite" based on the "quality" of it. As far as special experiences goes, I've had many as it relates to aviation, but that addon doesn't necessarily make it my favorite.

Some examples: Elmendorf AFB by MAIW - Was stationed there and it brings back memories. Excellent graphics and I've tinkered with the afcad and added the AC that were there at the time. However, not my "favorite" addon. VOZ scenery - briefly lived in Adelaide, South Australia. Flew from Melbourne to Adelaide on an Ansett Airlines 737. Again, great memories, but not necessarily my favorite addon. Anchorage International Airport, PANC version 5 - flew from Seattle, WA to Anchorage, AK on a Wein Air Alaska 727, but again, not my favorite addons.

I think this is a great theme, but some clarification would be very helpful.

I'm guessing a freeware scenery like 'Vashon' would be ineligible because it requires payware FTXPNW?

Vashon freeware does not require FSX PNW. It is a stand-alone scenery. I don't have PNW and it works just fine.

In that case it would be allowed. Grin

To me, that makes those who put in the effort stand out that much more. Wink

It's not always easy getting a hold of these great prizes,

less so now in these hard times,

so we appreciate those who go the extra mile,

to try and win them. Cool

Good luck to every one that entered!
