I was in vacation and got away from the forum for a wile when I came back I found the payware and the freeware forum. I didn't like it I don't know what happened but it separates the community in those who use or not payware add-ons. I don't know about you guys but I would rather have only the usual raw screenshot forum.

it's about the fact that payware tends to be of better texture quality compared to freeware... which is a thing of the past actually.

And i think it will be a major problem to moderate the screenshots section in this way because of the fact that sometimes only small parts are payware (FSTraffic and such) while the main subject is freeware

biggest problem now: where do i post the default aircraft shots...

How is this for a solution.

No charge for uploading freeware screen shots.

But for payware screen shot uploads Pete should charge the uploader a minimum of USD $5.00 per screenshot.

Because after all the guys who are charging money for the addons they create are getting free advertisement when screenshots of their payware creations are posted on the SimV screen shot forum.

Just a thought.

Sounds good, although $5 US sounds a bit steep.  How about $1 US?  That would make it a little more worthwhile. Wink

I don't think that would be necessary.  The main purpose of splitting the two (I think) is that the raw screenshot forum was being filled by people showing off payware a/c and scenery.  Not only does it free up space in what is now the freeware screenshot forum, it gives people a better handle on what is out there as far as payware goes.  This also gives developers a place to show off new a/c that are coming out.  When you add the fact that it allows those who do not wish to buy payware the security of not having to wade through posts containing it, then I think it makes for better feelings all around.  

I, for one, like to browse through it because I'll buy the occasional plane and I want to see what is new.

Keep in mind though, these forums are, and probably will, always be for the simmer.  The developers pay to advertise their stuff elsewhere.  The idea is not to give away free advertising, but to be able to compare what is good about our hobby.
