(right click\show picture for full size)

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 · « **Reply #6 on:** March 01, 2010, 08:08:40 AM »

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?

gauthier · « **Reply #7 on:** March 01, 2010, 10:50:58 AM »

I thought towns can be part of the landscape

Okay I will send another one

gauthier · « **Reply #8 on:** March 01, 2010, 11:04:01 AM »

simutrans 102.1
pak128 + MLM dev. + z20500

vilvoh · « **Reply #9 on:** March 01, 2010, 11:06:12 AM »

Well, you may consider them as urban landscapes, sojo & MoTw ....

P.S: The nightly winter scene from the german forum is simply beautifull!!

Thank you VS and gauthier for the pictures.

Thank you vilvoh for changing the title.

IgorEliezer · « **Reply #12 on:** March 01, 2010, 12:59:49 PM »

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.

MoTw · « **Reply #13 on:** March 01, 2010, 01:59:37 PM »

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

Because of the time, there is no traffic on the street next to the track.

gauthier · « **Reply #14 on:** March 01, 2010, 04:15:52 PM »

only one screenshot is allowed isn't it ?

vilvoh · « **Reply #15 on:** March 01, 2010, 04:59:07 PM »

Yes but perhaps MoTw want us to decide which one is better for the contest..

P.S: I've posted an announcement at blog.simutrans.com

gauthier · « **Reply #16 on:** March 01, 2010, 05:39:42 PM »

that's do easy to make the other decide

As for me, the first one would be the best but on day.

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.

Sojo said you are allowed to zoom.

"Arrows of Indecision"

j/k, actual title: "Overtaking"

vilvoh · « **Reply #22 on:** March 01, 2010, 09:34:13 PM »

@AP: Imho, It would look better if you disable the grid

Spike · « **Reply #23 on:** March 01, 2010, 09:46:43 PM »

It's cool with the grid, too. I like it!

AP · « **Reply #24 on:** March 01, 2010, 11:13:50 PM »

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.

"Arrows of Indecision"

I prefer that title (It's the (derisory) nickname of the BR logo, for those who don't recognise it!).

sojo · « **Reply #25 on:** March 02, 2010, 08:31:33 AM »

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

gauthier · « **Reply #26 on:** March 02, 2010, 08:47:35 AM »

wow I have no chance to win with a such picture

by the way, with one the latest pak128 and simutrans SDL 102.1, I have no rivers

ӔO · « **Reply #27 on:** March 02, 2010, 02:24:35 PM »

@sojo

same pakset as AP, pak128brit 1.07

1993matias · « **Reply #28 on:** March 02, 2010, 03:39:43 PM »

It was something i made some months ago, but it isn't ugly

IgorEliezer · « **Reply #29 on:** March 02, 2010, 04:02:46 PM »

The Japanese Simutrans Forum is participating in this competition too?

sojo · « **Reply #30 on:** March 02, 2010, 04:13:00 PM »

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

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

1993matias You picture is taken.

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

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
