About the Monthly screenie comp.. before the next one starts, can I suggest that we make it for all flight sims seeing I seamed to have helped to evoke more flight sims into SimV Cheesy

I see it as this, if it's a flight sim and no payware add-ons are there then it should be allowed Wink

I agree, but lets expand this to any sims you can fly in, including things such as ArmA 2, X-Plane, CSP, FlightGear, IL-2, Falcon 4.0, DCS series, in other words, as long as you can fly, you can put it up...

This would easily assist in bringing in a larger simulation crowd than just MSFS, which to be frank, is a dying sim. MSFS now that ACES has been canned and it looks like it's going possibly going console only, needs to be supplemented, and to be honest, I'm all for expanding simulation horizons all the way. I would love to be able to post up just about any flight related sim screenshot I want, from me flying the KA-50 in DCS, to me flying and F-16 in X-Plane, to me riding on the side of an MH-6 in ArmA 2....

The fact is, MSFS can't survive much longer, Aerosoft is making their own sim, X-Plane is gaining a strong foothold, and there are plenty of other options out there. MSFS has severely hindered my screenshot capabilities in these competitions so far, I would have loved to be able to post screens from other sims in the process. Furthermore, I believe the resolution and size limits need to be killed, or at least less restricted, I take beautiful 1080p shots, yet can't post them because of restrictions on the forums.
