[Official] Weekly Dev Update Screenshot Challenge: The Aviatrix Aesthetic

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 Rock Your Wings: @ukaka5656


This Week’s Challenge: The Aviatrix Aesthetic

Today marks Amelia Earhart’s 128th birthday! In honor of her legacy, create a screenshot that evokes the spirit of Amelia herself, whether that’s in a vintage aircraft, on a historic airfield, or with a filter that feels 1930s-inspired.


Rules

  1. Any time of day
  2. Any type of weather
  3. Code of Conduct appropriate liveries
  4. Default aircraft and scenery, or aircraft and scenery from the MSFS Marketplace
  5. Up to 10 entries (screenshots) allowed
  6. Avoid heavy digital editing or use of filters. Minor editing and touch-ups are allowed.

The rest is fair game! Use your creativity! We will pick the top 11 shots. 1 will be featured as the main photo of the next dev update and the other 10 will be featured in the community section.

You may also add a watermark or username to your image if you wish.

How To Submit Your Screenshot

Just post them below here in this thread, or if you’re on Twitter you can tweet your photo with the #MSFSchallenge hashtag!

Note: For the week the challenge is active, this thread is for screenshot submissions and challenge clarification only. Casual conversation about image submissions is allowed after the weekly challenge has ended. Thank you!

Wonderful little flight from Amelia Earhart Memorial Airport in her birthplace of Atchison, Kansas.

Apologies to Amelia (copycat photo of a lookalike plane)

This airport above, now LAE Nadzab ICAO AYNZ, is the closest to the last one they took off from LAE airport, Morobe Province, Papua New Guinea, closed after WW2.

Fun fact: While trying to recreate the press photo, I realized the original image had been mirrored.

In March 1937, Amelia Earhart flew over the unfinished Golden Gate Bridge, just months before its official opening, as she began her first world flight attempt.
