Title: OK Stud Squads, Let's See What You Got :-)
Post by: Renfield on September 16, 2000, 10:40:00 PM: How about a formation flight screenshot contest. May the best pilots win. The 48th FG Checkertails throws down the gauntlet and challenges all comers. Points for number of planes, tightness & precision of formation, and artistic merit. Post 'em here, keep 'em real, and make 'em pretty. Winners get, well, the recognition for a kicking screenshot. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

Great idea Ren.

Post by: LLv34_Camouflage on September 17, 2000, 08:50:00 AM: Great idea Renfield!

Yep, we've done some formation practise in the H2H every now and then. I guess we'll have to do some more next week. Especially now that the film viewer shows clouds, makes screenshot taking easier. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

Artistic merit? Yeah, let's see if you can get as many primary colours in YOUR screenshots (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)
Title: OK Stud Squads, Let's See What You Got :-)
Post by: Renfield on September 17, 2000, 01:40:00 PM: Well, so far the entries are pretty good (OK, actually very good (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)). Looks like the Red Dragons are definitely in the running as they are the only other ones with a 5-ship formation. Trail is a litle loose though Duma. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

48Th FG Checkertails are all within 140 feet and if you'll notice, heavy 47's on a Lanc's wing - difficulty points for matching speed and holding form.

LLv34 looks really good but no distance markers to really judge tightness - looks good but the guy on the left is a bit loose.

JG54 is very tight - looks like 44 feet from Stoikov to Mr. Becks and Santa looks even closer, but... it's only a 3-ship. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Keep 'em coming - these are great!

Great shots guys! VMF 323 looks hot and so do the three tanks. I'm thinking SOB's group shows the best form though Soya's men abusing the snowmen is pretty close (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)
