Yes it is!

Simviation was never conceived as only MS flight sims.

With MS letting us all down with their pulling the all time classic FS series, it is about time we started to spread our wings.

Thanks for the suggestion!

I think X-plane should get a spot similar to flight gear. Wink

Lot's of people use it, yet they have only a few choices to go to for it.

And the nice thing about X-plane & Flight Gear, is that you can use MSFS addons in them, so they are still very relevant to our forums direction.

The decision to open up the board to these otherwise ignored sims really shows our dedication to the Simming community in my opinion. Cool

Great Job Pete! Smiley

I like this 'thinking forward'.

If that's the case, how about allowing 'other' flight sim users (X-Plane, Flightgear) to post their shots in the freeware/payware section instead of just being limited to posting in 'The Cage'.

I second that one. Smiley

And there is nothing in the topic titles that says they can't, so we wouldn't have to change anything. Cool

They ARE allowed to post there!! There isn't anything saying what flight sim is allowed in the freeware or payware. The cage is just for anything BUT flight sim.

Really, because all the X-plane shots were usually found in The Cage. I guess it doesn't matter now.

There's a problem with the wording for The Cage then...

Where it says "Non MS FS/CFS" needs to be changed.

Makes it sound like only MSFS is allowed in the normal galleries.

Unintentionally halting all discussion on forums since 1992.

In the original spirit of the Graphic Gallery, it was for ONLY Microsoft Flight Sims.

The cage was where ANY game that is NOT MSFS or CFS goes.

Since we are opening to more FS, we think it would be good for screenshot forums if we allow them in.

Now, the Main site comp would have to stay MSFS as that's what all the prizes are for. Wink

The Judges choice contest has been using the All sims rule for a few months now quite successfully. Cool

I would still wait for an official blessing though. Wink

Too late I went ahead and put some IL2 shots NOT in the cage Tongue

Good points guys

The whole emphasis on MS needs to change

FS should mean any PC Flight Simulator (not flight game)

I still think it's important to differenciate between a serious simulator and a game where no skill is needed to land.

Simulators are intended to simulate real flight and scenery.

Me will have alittle think -- input very welcome. Cool

On that note, I like how the FS titles are at the top, and the Combat sim Titles are at the bottom of the board, it helps to show which we place more emphasis on.

I would say just add the Xplane board to the top, we would then have a spot for the 4 Major, widely used Flight sims.

As for the combat sims, I think it's fine, we cover the major Heavy hitters, Maybe add a Misc. CS section to cover any we missed.

In the past few weeks, SimV has come a long way in opening it's arms to the rest of the Flight sim world, I can't wait to see where we wind up in the future because of this.

Thanks Pete! Cool
