Criteria:
- - 1024 x 768 resolution
- no border, text or logo elements (basically a screenshot)
- very minimal post-processing (I won't say none, but no graphical effects we can't do in the sim, such as blur or lens flare)
- only featuring standard scenery and aircraft, no other add-ons
- makes the simulator look good
- variation across the screens - if everyone submits screens of the 707 or Shuttle, I will still only pick one of that aircraft!
Currently we have five splash screens, I will pick a similar number (between four and eight) based on what people offer!
You can see a prototype of the new splash screen layout here:

(but the exact layout, sizing, wording is still evolving) - the main thing is to realise there's going to be text overlaid on the splash images programmatically.
