Deputy Sheriffs kroswynd 335 Posted January 6, 2018 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted January 6, 2018 Happy New Year to one and all......Hope everyone had an enjoyable Christmas (regardless if you were naughty or good). While 2017 was a very productive year simulation wise, 2018 thus far seems to be shaping up quite well as there are several highly anticipated new releases (aircraft and scenery, possibly a few utilities as well) on the horizon. My apologies for getting us off to a late start but I dropped the ball and did not set up the contest ahead of time to kick in the beginning of the month. To kick the year off, January's theme is going to be "LINING UP". This can be of both ground and or air operations - be creative. Good Luck to all. Lining Up Please login to display this image.

Aharon 465 Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 Do "lining up" screenshots have to be taken ONLY from seats in cockpits for January 2018 contest? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think so. Lining up will look great from the exterior view as well. Great theme Kroswynd! ....can I do one of each.... one on the ground and one in the air.?

Lotus3xiG3 118 Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 @kroswynd Is there any need of a runway in the picture, when you are approaching in air e.g.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am just trying to understand to be sure I am following the rules of January 2018 correctly. Please login to display this image. Well, your image shows that you have been already established in the lined up position preparing for the next phase -takeoff. So the image needs to show a reference to what it is you are lining up to. I am willing to remove this image since you mentioned that this is an example, let me know how you'd like to proceed.

Aharon 465 Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Ohhhhhhh so lining up means IN PROCESS OF ENTERING INTO RUNWAY during taxiing OR on final runway approach to runway showing view of runway during final runway approach. Correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since it is not following the rules of January 2018 contest, please delete my screenshot.

I think lining up means IN PROCESS OF ENTERING INTO RUNWAY during taxiing OR on final runway approach to runway showing view of runway during final runway approach. Thanks for explanations Thanks, Aharon I would say: On the ground: Entering into and lining up with (not lined up with) the runway after takeoff clearance. In the air: Again lining up with the runway (not lined up with) That is to say...still one dot to go on the localizer or a slight bank to show adjustment for loc capture or runway alignment. A cockpit shot without a runway in view is possible if it is very low vis and obvious from the HSI that the course of the localiser is different to the heading plus a bank angle on the ADI..... but I do not think that would make for a winning shot. Both either interior or exterior views. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, okay! Let's try this one whilst lining up with Ibiza's runway 06: Please login to display this image. Just like @Aharon's picture, that is just a test if this one was okay ... If not, delete it!

edetroit 529 Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Nice shot Aharon..... although looking at the nose wheel angle, the nose wheel should be left of the centre line if you want the main gear of that beautiful bird to line up correctly.

IMHO Well trying to hold steering wheel while taking screenshot and talking to airport controller (ALL OF THOSE) at same time. It is like real world pilot trying to hold yoke for steering L1101 during lining up while using hand for digital camera to take photographs.
