As mentioned in another topic, I'd like you to send me your screenshots, post them here in the forum or send me a link referring to the picture by March 14th.

Everyone may participate, but only with one screenshot. - If you post a picture but think you found a better one a bit later, just let me know and I'll update it.

The topic: This month's topic is a landscape-scene with player-vehicles. Almost everything is possible, there may be rivers, small train tracks, a little airfield or something else.

1. a) The picture may be any size up to 800x600 px. You may zoom out, of course.
1. b) The picture has to be posted as a jpg or png (compressed).
2.     You have to remember the topic: Landscape with player-vehicles.
3.     You may use any pak-set you want to. I'd like to have as much sets used as possible.
4.     Poll is going to start at March 15.
5.     Please include a short description and mention the pak you chose.

Prize:

Mentioning of your Nickname in the public, compliments by the community and one post including your picture in the blog and, can you believe it, in the simutrans.com  :o

Have fun!
I'd like everyone to join!

My Screenshot would be this:



Shimo Kitasawa Station On The Odakyu Line.
Simutrans 102.0.0 + Pak128.japan + Alot of addons
(One of the most Congested Stations on My game(Fictional, But with Japanese Real Station Names)(25.000.000passangers anually on the game))

The Eleveated Tracks(1 and 2) goes for Shinjuku and Subway Shibuya Line.
And the Underground Tracks (3 and 4) goes for Hon Atsugi and Odawara.

at this station also passes the Keio Inokashira Line at Ground Level.

Simutrans 102.1, pak128 + MLM dev. (for the stations) + TER 2n NG + z22500 (find here => http://www.simutrans-france.fr.nf/doku.php?id=en:fefe ).

Two suburb train lines running under/over the other. The downer one isn't very used so only TER 2n NG (or z26500) are used whereas the upper one uses z22500 since it's overcrowded.
This line cross the main city of the map which is entirely fictional with fictional names ...
The other line will go back in a tunnel because the city doesn't let any place for it  :-[

sojo

Sorry gauthier and ger, the Theme is Landscape and player-vehilce. I think the images can not win. There are towns and no landscape or not much.

Will you send new pictures?

And please, don't forget to follow the competition's rules (see 1st post). I'll be using these screenshots on simutrans.com (mind you?)... our site needs a renewal badly. ;D

MoTw

Well, here's my first try:
[right click and show image for better quality & size]
p96c (test version). The coaches are self-painted.

The last train of the night is heading for Lünen Bf. The surrounding landscape is very rural and quiet, only disturbed by the train track and the road connecting Lünen and Helsinki. The train is overtaking the taxi and accelerating up to 100 km/h. Soon, the driver will stop the engines and go to bed :)



___________________________

A second one:

It's early sunday morning and the train driver is slowly accelerating his regio-shuttle. He's just entered the little forest over which one little balloon is flying  :D Because of the time, there is no traffic on the street next to the track.

Umm, not really. I just found this screenshots in my folder and posted them, I'll decide later if I take one of these or look for another one. And maybe it's a motivation to others to post a shot. ;)

That's a bit of a low minimum, isn't it, for landscape images?

EDIT: Oh well. I've had a go... link to follow shortly.

You're probably right. I've played with grid on so much I don't notice it any more! Disregard earlier entry! I thought of a better title too:


"What do you mean, the brakes don't work?"
Simutrans r2928, pak128-gb v1.07.


Quote from: AEO on March 01, 2010, 08:42:59 PM
"Arrows of Indecision"  ;D
I prefer that title (It's the (derisory) nickname of the BR logo, for those who don't recognise it!).

sojo

AEO the image is taken. But what pakset is it? Is it pak128, too?

sojo

AEO: The same pakset? I can't see any picture from AP!

Igor, I think no. Because MoTw and I don't speak japanese.

Me neither. But I was assuming that someone from Japanese forum had already found this topic and published there too.

Taken? Like if someone else has taken it? Or like if you have viewed it and confirmed? Sorry if it is a dumb question...

Your screenshot has been accepted by sojo and will be available in the poll starting March 15th.

QuoteIgor, I think no. Because MoTw and I don't speak japanese.
Well, I studied Japanese four or five years ago, but just basic vocabulary and not how to write. And, I'm afraid, most of it is gone  :-[
