Welcome to the Unofficial Screenshot Competition This is a fun and friendly alternative to the official Screenshot Competition run by DTG. Here you can share your weekly themed TSC screenshots using any 3rd party / post shot editing etc. creations which are not allowed in the official competition. Rules: TSC only shots allowed. Screenshot should be in some way (can be very tenuous) linked to the theme. Otherwise anything goes. You can enter up to 3 screenshots, posted as separate posts. You can delete and replace if you wish. 3rd party content / Reshades / Reskins etc. are welcomed but are not mandatory. Previous week's winner to decide winner (can't enter themselves). The winner chooses the new theme for next week (and becomes the new judge). The Judge of the week's decision is final. We strongly discourage any negative comment or criticism of another entry by a fellow contributor, this is a light hearted & fun contest! This is a major "we are all friendly" thread and we hope it will always remain so. Please keep chat to an absolute minimum. Entries will close at 09:00 PM GMT on Friday, March 3rd and will be judged by me - Blazin In the event of this weeks winner not responding by 5:00 PM GMT Sunday, March 5th, a new thread will be created using the theme with the highest votes in this weeks poll. This weeks theme will be Billboards and Signs, Feel free to interpret the theme however you like!
Route: WCML South Train: Class 390. Seeing the old BR logo is pretty nostalgic. This shot was taken at Birmingham international.
37558 "Avro Vulcan XH558" I have personally witnessed XH558 fly at RIAT & it was an amazing sight and sound! Such a great experiance.
Just a nice place to be on a late summer evening. Play this in the background, make the image full screen... breathe out slowly... aaaaand relax.
Pretty sure its a sign I buggered something up... (Fixed now btw, I'd messed up the DRM by uninstalling and reinstalling my vanilla TSC with all DLC unticked, hence the reason I can laugh about it now..)
I saw 558 fly into and out of Doncaster airport several times during her last year of flight. I also saw her at Tees Valley during the final weekend of flying. It's a shame she's now going to be cut up to be moved to another site so likelyhood is that she'll never run her engines again come May time when Peel Group kick the trust off the airport site for good. Once she's cut up it'll be hard to restore all her electronics, fuel and oil lines as no one has the expertise anymore.
Route: WCML South Train: Class 390. "This is Coventry station" What a nice view from the passenger window.
Suppose somebody has to LOL. (AP Class 156 on the ATS Kings Lynn-Kings Cross + Cambridge-Peterborough route)
Just love this Yorkshire Airlines Billboard, always makes me smile. Come to that seeing a Midland Mainline HST also used to put a smile on my face, used to love this livery. (AP Class 43 HST on the JT MML)
Niklas's Southeastern Network: SEML, Mid-Kent & Bromley North. v.1.1 and the APEP Class 700 (not the size image I wanted to upload but the forum doesn't like me screen res anymore for some reason).
I don't think there's a resolution limit... just a files size limit, so maybe try just compressing the JPEG level instead of resizing it.
I converted the .png to .jpg (which always used to work) but the forum wouldn't allow it, so in the end I just reduced the size by 50%, it's still .png because I'm not resizing it and converting it to other media,
Just popped off the train at Matlock to get some shopping from a well known supermarket. Route: MML Matlock branch Loco: N/A
Leeds Station as seen from half way down the stairs. Loco :- AP Class 156 Route:- [OTS] Harrogate Loop
Well this is a sign that I should rewatch all the Star Wars movies again. Also, it's a throwback to when these things actually ran on main lines.
Route: West Rhine Koln-Koblenz Train: DB BR 155. Some of my older pictures of the infamous to me DTG logo!
Oops!! I almost forgot, thanks for the reminder! I enjoyed this week a lot, many funny submissions! Here are this weeks winners. In 3rd place we have Nick Y, a very funny easter egg on the Class 142 referencing Star Wars! Tied for 2nd place, is Craigie-C, routes are always more fun with silly billboards like these!! In first place is cscarpenter. I like this one a lot because it has a night time atmosphere and I love the fact the angle of which both a funny billboard and a train itself is included!! Well done!! Sorry for the late results, I'm very happy with the submissions this week and glad I was reminded to post the results! Congratulations to the winners and thanks to everyone who submitted!! Looking forward to the theme you choose for next week cscarpenter.
Congratulations to the winners! some brilliant entries & I never knew there were so many great signs in the sim
Cheers for the win Blazin much appreciated, have to admit a great choice of theme. At times I am guilty of spending too much time watching the gauges rather than getting out of the cab and enjoying the terrific little nuances that Route & Scenario builders bring to the game. Not this time pal LOL. [EDIT] New thread up and running with the theme of Sunset / Sunrise here:- https://forums.dovetailgames.com/threads/unofficial-screenshot-contest-2023-week-10.65631/ Have fun all
Thanks for the runner up spot Blazin, and many congrats on your winning shot cscarpenter, and also to everyone else for taking part with such great entries. Looking forward to next week as always.
