[OFFICIAL] Weekly Dev Update Screenshot Challenge: Australia

Hello everyone,

Our screenshot challenge is now available to enter via Twitter with #MSFSchallenge!

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 Lunar New Year: jienbacktory2 (Twitter)

This Week’s Challenge

Australia: The free Australian Update is out, meaning it’s time for a World Update challenge! Capture a screenshot of one of the new POIs in the Australin Update.

We will be flying in Australia for our weekly Community Fly-in this week, and it would be a fantastic event for you to join in on to capture your screenshot. Click here for details.

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

  1. Any time of day
  2. Any type of weather
  3. Code of Conduct appropriate liveries
  4. Default aircraft or aircraft from the MSFS Marketplace
  5. Up to 10 entries (screenshots) 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.

A few from me from yesterday’s stream - we flew the PMDG DC6 from Adelaide to Melbourne Essendon with a visual approach over the CBD and wow it was stunning! The cockpit screenshot is my favourite with the “window view” - looked like real life at one point!
