[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

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…
