Submit your screenshot for the SOTM of May 2021

Postby Anarcho-pilot » Thu Apr 29, 2021 9:57 pm

Hello everyone!

Now's your chance to submit your candidate for May'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 to .jpg (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 May 21st, in a separate topic.

Best wishes - Anarcho-pilot.

You are about the today's date?.. If you are interested, here are some rules related to the contest holding, which I've developed for myself.

I give the participants three weeks for the submission: from the 1st to the 21st of each month. Than I give 1 week for the voting - till the 28th. I find it quite convenient to have few spare days at the end of each month. I always try to follow the schedule, but sometimes, due to my studying at the university, the beginning of the submission or voting may be delayed a little bit. In such cases these spare days are very helpful! Also there may be a situation with two winning images at the voting. In this case I'll also need some spare time to hold an additional voting.

But usually these spare days at the end of the month are not in demand. In such cases I start the new submission immediately as the voting has ended. And also hold it till the 21st of the next month - so you have few spare days to submit. :wink:

GinGin, have you edited your picture in a separate program after it was taken? Or it was made entirely in FlightGear (for example, you have two monitors and somehow managed to display your shuttle simultaneously from two perspectives)?

I took two screenshots from the same time stamp ( in and out of the cockpit), then merged them into one screen.
I guess it enters then in postprocessed screen.
I updated it with a one shot screen.
