• 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.

Indeed. Do they seriously have nobody who can ramp up the settings in FS9 to above 'awful'?

The model doesn't look bad, but I'm sure it could look a whole lot better on somebody else's system.
 
Alphasim have never been able to take a decent screenshot to save their lives. No idea how to show off their products. For Alphasim screens, those actually aren't that bad. I always cringed at their old site, where you had to click on some embarassingly low-quality, jaggy-ridden shot of their latest release to get to the home page.
 
Yea, I don't take exceptional screens myself, but even my poor ones are better than those. That has been the history of their screens though, they seem to put little stock in the quality of the shots they post, almost as if to say. . ."you know we make quality payware addons, so it isn't necessary to put any effort into preview screens".
 
Just making the screenie "dramatic" can make up for some jaggies....at least entice the buyer that it might be cool to have this particular plane.

I used to be a big AS buyer but of late nothing they have trips my trigger....

Whoever the screen shot guru is, they're obviously just too cheap to invest in a decent monitor. Something with 2560x1600 res would do wonders for the image.

I think it's the whole PC instead of the monitor.


Still puzzles me why people stick to their Pentium 4 based, awfully old systems when there's decent modern ones out there for like 300€s that can even run FSX. :isadizzy:

nothing wrong with P4 :jump: i still use it :icon_lol: then again i'm known for my cost-saving
 
That looks like a cool project. I wish they'd finish up the few others they have in work for the love of god...


To cheap to buy a better monitor? Phil edits his screenshots too, but I suspect most devs do as well....


Free offer: I will start oddering screenshots of devs products for free; I'm tired of bad screenshots. Where's the marketing and excitement? I want to be SOLD a product.
