    Just when you think you have everything running some what better...

    You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.

    1. November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

    If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

    To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

Screenshots

Here are a couple shots while trying to explore some crusader sites in Israel (Belvoir Castle and Acre). My 28-times great grandfather, Sir Walter Tyrell III, participated in the first crusade and was at the siege of Jerusalem in 1096 (in 1100, he was accused of accidentally killing the king of England, King William II, while they were hunting together in the New Forest). One of his sons, my 27-times great grandfather, Sir Hugh Tyrell, fought in the second crusade, and one of his sons, my 26-times great grandfather, Sir Hugh Tyrell II (the "Grecian Knight", and one of "De Lacy's Barons"), fought in the 3rd crusade and was at the Siege of Acre in 1191.

Belvoir castle, one of the better preserved crusader sites in Israel, located just south of the Sea of Galilee.



The original location of the crusader castle at Acre is believed to have been located where the breakwater juts outward toward the sea, with some of the surviving foundation stonework still able to be seen today (the general outline can be made out by the waves).

 
Compared to the above, a modest shot from your servant.

Dear all,

my name is Stephan, 47, from Germany. I have experience with Flightsims since FS98, but I paused this hobby approx. 5 years ago. With the MSFS I re-discoverd the fascination of flight simming. Mostly, I am acitve in german speaking forums, but I stumbled over this one when I saw the fantastic screenshots here. I really love to see what others do with their simulator and I also love to share my own experiences, but screenshots of such a high quality as here I've never seen anywhere else. Especially to mention those of Bomber_12th and RichardLouis which of course doesn't mean that all the other authors publish minor quality.

So my question: is there a hint or advice available how to create such fantastic pictures? I don't expect a tutorial, but maybe just a shorthand list of filters used would already be appreciated. BTW, I use Lightroom and Photoshop for adjusting my pictures.

Looking forward to see further great snapshots and also to distribute to that section.

Following some pics from a flight from Sydney to Ayer's Rock (both payware) with A320NX.

Best regards

Stephan

Those screenshots are fantastic, Stephan, and I would love to see you post more here! Speaking personally, I'm too lazy to mess around with any post-processing (just snap and share), but I do enjoy playing around with the weather settings in the sim as they can so drastically change not only the contrasts, but the overall colors as well (not just time of day, but the amounts and locations of clouds can have a big impact on the colors too).

Here are some screenshots flying from Land's End to St. Mary's on the Isles of Scilly - both exceptional freeware addons by Superspud, just recently updated again on Flightsim.to

In addition to always making sure I check through all of the latest releases on Flightsim.to, at least once a day, I've had to get in the habit of checking the recently updated section each day as well, as some of my favorite addons, such as these shown, are continually being updated and improved upon over time, and the updates don't show-up in the "recently released" section.

Thanks for your reply, John. I'm really surprised now that you don't post-process. Compared to mine they look so real. Mine are looking somehow artificial, I don't do post-processing as well. Maybe it's because I mostly use the Nvidia in-game filter, e.g. sharpening, structure and HDR. Will try to make the next screenshots without.

I'm afraid I won't be able to escape judging all payware going forward by the level of detail and realism as seen in this model/materials/textures, making full use of what this sim has to offer - it is just stunning.







 
Gina and the old castel

A new set of screenshots with SSW Fiat G91.
(Scenery Rocca Calascio by daniele986 available via Flightsim.to).
I edited some pictures to give them more dynamic aspect.
