[OFFICIAL] Weekly Dev Update Screenshot Challenge: Alpenglow

It’s time for another screenshot challenge! The idea is to collectively explore different parts of the world together - areas that may be very familiar to you or perhaps a new place you have never flown before. Feel free to find others to fly with to capture the challenge, or go solo!

Last week’s winner from Screenshot Challenge - Beached: @HeKa48

This Week’s Challenge

Alpenglow - Alpenglow is the atmospheric optical phenomenon which makes mountains appear to glow in a light pink or red hue. This can occur right before the sun set or right before it rises. Capture a screenshot of a mountain scene showing off this incredible natural phenomenon!

Example (not from the sim):

If you have any screenshot challenge ideas for the future, send @Jummivana a DM!

  2. Any type of weather
  3. Code of Conduct appropriate liveries
  4. Default aircraft and scenery, or aircraft and scenery from the MSFS Marketplace

The amazingly detailed French Alpes, doing what I love best & about to touch down.
We’re going to have to camp here tonight!

Time to get her chocked up and tied down, put up the tent, and start that campfire!

Ladies and Gentlemen, the Anthem of Switzerland!

When the morning skies grow red
And o’er their radiance shed,
Thou, O Lord, appeareth in their light.
When the Alps glow bright with splendour…

Where every Pilatus aircraft was built:

Galenstock, fond memories of mountain hikes:

Where the Gotthard route turns narrow the first time:



Furka pass (with Galenstock once more)…

Oberalp pass:

Lucerne and Lake Lucerne:

And finally, where the Alps fall into the Mediterranean Sea:

Over Italy:
