Post your screenshot here or on the Discord screenshot channel. Please label your picture as "contest entry" in the description. Some of the best shots (as chosen by Lapioware) will be used as background images for the loading screen with credit in the top-left corner.

Tips

  • The easiest way to post a screenshot is to use Steam's built-in functionality, usually the F12 key

  • Use the maximum resolution that your system supports

  • Hide the timetable by pressing F2 and other parts of the HUD with F3

  • Choose the highest graphics level from the top of the "Graphics settings" screen

  • Try enabling the optional "depth of field" graphics setting for a focus effect (works best while zooming in)

  • Use the free roaming camera mode to position the camera

  • Use the pause key to stop all trains while finding a good position for the camera. Alternatively, you can try using time acceleration for an exaggerated motion blur effect

  • Adjust cloudiness from the slider just before starting the run

  • Try taking screenshots at different times of the day: bright midday lighting is not always the best

  • Remember that the loading screen has a box that covers the centre of the picture

The contest will run for one week
