I know that this has probably been suggested before, but what are the odds of having a weekly or monthly screenshot contest... Maybe there could be prizes? I know flightsim.com used to have them, but I haven't seen any lately...

Think it over... Wink

Flyboy, here is the link to the pathetic screenshot contest poll.
I post pics in another forum from time to time and it is a free for all!! The images are incredible, there is one screenshot forum, there are edits, raw, etc...It is candy for the eyes!!
Nobody is complaining about freeware, your graphic card, edited and non-edited. You just post your shots! Everybody comments and that is it. I am getting into the troublesome habit of making a copy of each of my pictures so I can upload the raw here, then I have some fun by editing them and upload to the other site!
It is like a graphic artist’s playground!

I love it here at SimV and am not downplaying it at all. I just wish it were 1 screenshot forum and that is it.
It is simple...........

Fly,
Take the shots,
Do what you want,
Post them,
DONE!

I will make one point then end my rant Wink

Nexus posted some pics of a "Various 737 shots" here:

They look great!!, BUT.................
they are in the edited section and from what I can see, half the people who post in the raw, don't even visit the edited. The edited shots shared here are few and far between, it is not like they are "over loading" the server. All Nexus did was play with the contrast, chroma and detail and they look incredible. Hell, I love to take shots and post them and I hardly visit the edited forum!!!!!
Post all the pics in one forum and let the members view them!!
I am done with my rant!  Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin

Thanks and see you in the sky!!!
