• There seems to be an up tick in Political commentary in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site we know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religiours commentary out of the fourms.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politicion will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment amoung members. It is a poison to the community. We apprciate compliance with the rules.

Screenshots

Sorry folks, I really like this thread and admire the new HD quality of the screenies, but here is a wild thought: wouldn't a little less be a lot more? Come on, 30 pics of the same aircraft published within a few minutes, that's a bit like trolling, no? OK, there is that ignore button....

I agree. One or two pictures, from different angles - great. Ten or twelve pictures of the exact same aircraft, each from slightly different angles, is something that you have to laboriously scroll past.

Hello Manfred, hello Paul,
Sorry if you found my post long and boring.
I can understand your frustration because on my side, I get frustrated when someone only posts one or two images.
We share the same passion for simulators, but we have preferences for different fields.
Some take pleasure in spending several hours reproducing a Paris - New York behind their screen, ... me not, but I appreciate their report.
Some people tear their hair out if the lavatory light switch in the Boeing 747 isn't operational, ... I don't, but I'm sad that their fun is ruined.
My pleasure is to make repaints and screenshots and then to share them.
I recognize that there are a lot of images in my last set, that's why I called it "Portfolio", which by definition is a folder that contains several images so that people can make a choice.


However Manfred, I don't understand your troll insinuation.
It seems to me totally gratuitous and it hurt me.
You lend me intentions that I never had.
I have been posting long series of images in the Screenshots topics (FSX, P3D and MSFS) for more than ten years.
This was never intended to rot the SOH Forum. The Screenshots topic elicits few comments and the length of my posts has never been subject to controversy.
(I take this opportunity to thank Manschy, Jankees, Richard, Bob, Ryan, Priller, Javis, Steve, John, Kent, Zsolt, ... for their kind words of encouragement for my screenshots).
Would you have posted the same comment if I had submitted 30 images of your C47 ?


I invite you to take a moment to read the post "There are some real screenshot artists here" pinned here above.
Perhaps you will understand me better.


Anyway, the number of my screenshots are not worth creating controversy.
There are more serious matters to be debated in the world today.


Cordially,
Richard
 
Richard, no offense intended, but it really does make browsing through this whole thread tedious, when there is so much repetition of similar pictures. Below is an example - almost the same picture but for a few small changes of view. They are great pictures, of course, but can you maybe reduce it to a few of the best ? Please ?

Er, probably not. Never did it myself though - I hope. Some good sense behind that saying Less is More. Imagine the Mona Lisa seen from 30 angles?
Best
Manfred
