Submit your screenshot for the SOTM of August 2021

[Anarcho-pilot]

Hello everyone!

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

Participation Rules
1. 20 entries (because a poll can only have 20 options).
2. Only one entry per person to give everyone a fair chance of submitting a screenshot.
3. You may enter one extra for somebody else. This person of course can submit their own candidate.
4. If you submit a screenshot of another person, please make sure he/she grants you the right to publish it under the correct license.
5. Please convert your picture from PNG into JPEG (plenty of converters online).
6. Must be taken with FlightGear.
7. Every picture should have a caption. It would be useful to add the name of the aircraft and the location, where the screenshot was taken, to the caption. (For example: "Greeting the dawn - C172P, Keflavik".) Otherwise, please, mention it at least in your entry.
8. Screenshots must not be post-processed except from cropping and/or resizing (but you may use the in-sim ALS filters). You may also add titles mentioning an author of the screenshot and/or aircraft/location displayed on it.
9. You may change your entry as often as you want, until the voting starts.
10. You agree to license your screenshot under the CC-BY-SA 4.0 license for publication by the FlightGear project.
11. You agree that the screenshot may be used to promote the FlightGear project, including publication on the flightsim.com forum with proper attribution according to the CC-BY-SA 4.0 license.

Here is a Wiki article with some advice on making nice screenshots: http://wiki.flightgear.org/Howto:Make_nice_screenshots .

Voting will start when 20 entries are reached or at the latest on August 24th, in a separate topic.

Best wishes - Anarcho-pilot.

There seem to be a few plain brown textures in there @merspieler which normally appear when the material for a landclass is not found in a regional definition. If this is somewhere in Australia (doesn't look familiar) I hope there is not a problem with the Australian materials.

[merspieler]

Yes, that's Australia (departing on SWIFT8 from YBCS).
The brown areas are the ones, where no ortho texture was applied.

All that was without any materials changed in FGDATA at the time taken (18th of July)

[frtps]

Looks like areas marked "Mangrove" are being rendered like this. If you add "Mangrove" into the same place as "EvergreenBroadCover" in australia_top_end.xml this should go away I think.

[merspieler]

I can wait till the materials are in fgdata...

This bugs me way less than the continuing issues with the ortho images at some airports.

Those look a lot like fighter jets flying in formation right above the ocean in your screenshot merspieler.


Are they part of the ortho?

OO ZVY, an image should be in .jpg-format, not .png. It is mentioned in the set of rules and I wrote you about it in the submitting topic of the previous month's contest. Please, convert your screenshot and update the post.
