Post your candidate for December's SOTM Contest!

Postby legoboyvdlp » Thu Nov 09, 2017 7:59 pm

Hello Pilots! :D

Now's your chance to submit your candidate for December's FlightGear SOTM contest!

Participation Rules
15 entries (because a poll can only have 15 options)
Only one entry per person to give everyone a fair chance of submitting a screenshot.
You may enter one extra for somebody else. This person of course can submit their own candidate.
If you submit a screenshot of another person, please make sure he/she grants you the right to publish it under the correct license!
Please convert your picture from png to jpg (plenty of converters online).
Has to be taken with FlightGear.
Every picture should have a caption. Please limit yourself to about five words!
Please add the name of the aircraft and the location where the screenshot was taken to your entry (not necessarily to be mentioned in the caption).
Screenshots must not be post-processed except from cropping and/or resizing (but you may use the in-sim ALS filters).
You may change your entry as often as you want, until the voting starts.
You agree to license your screenshot under the CC-BY-SA 4.0 license for publication by the FlightGear project.

Voting will start when 15 entries are reached or at the latest on November 20th, in a separate topic.

Cheers ;)
Jonathan

NB. A contest choosing the best SOTM from 2017 will be held in early December

That's a -337, IIRC Pinto? Did you make it down? :) Nice screenshot!

tonghuix: very nice -- did you read the article in Airways Magazine about the DC3 world tour? Apparently it needs something like 100 hours maintenance per flight!

The 337 can fly all day on a single engine and there's no asymmetric thrust issues to deal with on engine out. I know a guy who owns one. Super cool plane, but very noisy ... that's one of the big downsides to this engine arrangement.

Nope, I didn't buy the magazine, but I would like to read the article about this would tour.

I just start a virtual DC-3 Would tour now, here is the thread. viewtopic.php?f=10&t=33249

The article itself probably is on https://airwaysmag.com/ or else you can buy it on their Android app, the issue has the DC3 on the cover and is $3.99.

That screenshot sent a chill down my spine. That first engine stopping could become the beginning of a lonely shivering cold night in the arctic: Skymaster Arctic Circle Ditching
