Welcome to the 27th monthly FS2004.com Screenshot Contest!  This month's theme is Strange Places, and it would appear this is a Strange Theme, because we have only 8 accepted entries.   It was quite difficult to choose which shots should be accepted based on the theme, because a strange place for one may be home for someone else.  I took the high road and kept a very open mind, accepting most of the shots.



Our sponsor this month is Captain Sim!  They are offering any one of their products to the winner of the November contest (even reserve a product that is not yet released)!

For those who are not already familiar with Captain Sim, they have been developing addons for Flight Simulator for the last 6 years, and offer excellent products (as evidenced by our user reviews of Captain Sim products). The Captain Sim F-104 won the FS2004.com Addon of the Year for the Military Payware category.  

Based in Canada, Russia and Ukraine, Captain Sim's staff comprises some 21 people including programmers, 3D and 2D artists, media, marketing and sales experts. All top managers are former professional jet pilots. To keep their piloting skills current they take every chance to fly any available aircraft. Sergey is still flying Boeing 767 for a major transatlantic airline.

This unique combination of professionalism and real flight experience helps Captain Sim to develop a thrilling entertainment experience for the flight simulation community by turning their dreams into reality.

LOL.

#5 gave me too much of a laugh, had to go with it.

Great job guys

Very hard theme to think of a shot this month.  I don't really know what to vote for.    Some of these are not very strange places.

[wnfaknd]

I fail to see anything strange on these shots, except for #4 which appers to be at SESM.  I mean, what is strange about shot #8? or #6? or #3? TNCM is strange?  What is strange about #2? Haze is strange?

Went with 3. Strange theme this month! Very hard to fulfil i think   .

I like the concept of 1 and 6 though, as they are places you wouldnt really see those types of A/c!   .

#2 For sure, the purple/blue(ish) fog really adds a mysterious touch to the picture.

[ManDango]

Some how I think this is a joke, Cus all the shots seem oversized and most look like they are made from the same computer :S. If I am wrong, I am sorry to all the people who created the shots.

I think #4 is the only true strange place IMO so that got my vote

[ucantcme]

7! Is there tire textures?

[Carter]

I forfeit, I don't see anything 'strange'.

I sat for a few hours and goofed around and couldn't even think of anything that I hadn't already seen posted before or that was unusual.

[Greeney]

The clouds in #4 rock!

[Hornet]

#3 is not a strange place. I went with #4.

I think "strange places" shouldn't be a catagory.

Not so good pics this month....could I have done better, probably not, thats why I didn't enter - FS9 is a bit limited when looking for a "strange" place!

[Captainmk]

The quality of these shots surprise me

[PiP]

I must admit i was expecting more ingeniusness. 5 has my vote

[npasque]

3 isnt strange, just a "stranger than usual" approach  

[Prancer]

I just don't see what's so strange about many of these places....

[zanth91]

Went 4 4     . I love the scenery.

[wyoairbus]

Nice!!! though i have a question for whoever took #5, how did u get that star destroyer? it looks awesome!
