Robert S 75 Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 I enjoy these forums and am the proud owner of the following Aerosoft titles: Manhattan (my first!) A10 Warthog SH-60 Seahawk MegaCity: Denver (I think a subdivision of Aerosoft Australia) If I had to pick a favorite, I think it would have to be Manhattan; this is simply the best scenery add-on, period. The A10 is also up there, the VC detail is amazing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ogeva 0 Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 I own Beaver, Super cub, Katana and Seahawk - and adore them all. I must say that I have seen Manhattan and German airports 3 at a friend's and these are awesome too! If I was richer I'd have them all plus Elba and Nice. Edit - I forgot to mention - I did use and enjoy the Aerosoft ATR which was great - but now the F1 ATR replaced it (no offence, Aeosoft :wink: ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hywel 0 Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 I currently have: Eurowings Professional on CD (bought) Beaver (free) Super Cub (bought) Manhattan (free) A-10 Warthog (free) Life in Elba (free) Seahawk (free) London Brighton Express (free) Favourite is probably the Super Cub, an all round awesome aircraft, followed by the Seahawk, ideal for flying around Manhattan. Life in Elba scenery is also very cool. London to Brighton Express is a seriously cool add-on for Train Simulator, I was brought up in the area around Clapham Junction so all the stations and trains are familiar to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rsamuel66 0 Posted April 9, 2005 Share Posted April 9, 2005 Instead of randomly handing out "freebies" Aerosoft needs to establish a preferred customer program, with perks and discounts to folks who have a substantial number of their products. I own at least 25 Aerosoft products - I think that that kind of dedication backed up by real $$$$ should be rewarded (for example, bu 10 products get the 11th free), instead of giving freebies to folks who can hit the "Print Screen" button. Just my opinion. ricardo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just my opinion. ricardo For online products we are starting something like that, in fact, the top ten buyers have already been rewarded that way. For the boxed product it is a lot less easy to organise. Most people never take the time to register. But you if 'hitting the print screen button' gets screenshots that are used commercially or for boxed covers, don't you feel that these people should be rewarded? And you totally and utterly underestimate the time and effort it takes to do good shots. Before we started using other people (and even commercial services like FSGS) for that it used to costs me hours a week. Anybody who can deliver me shots like the one attached below that we use for promotion can count on getting the products for free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just my opinion. ricardo I believe you have no idea how much effort it takes to produce a perfect screenshot! Even if you don't fool around with the finished pic AFTER hitting PrtScrn, you can spend up to an hour experimenting with angles, weather conditions, anti-aliasing, filtering, zooming, traffic setting, times of day, background selection, etc. until the shot is right!

rsamuel66 0 Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 I believe you have no idea how much effort it takes to produce a perfect screenshot! ! Looking at my keyboard it takes hitting the "PRTSCR" button. Then you have a screenshot. If you do something more with it, it's called "editing" and is not a shot of the screen but something cooked up in photoshop or whatever other editing software you're using. I personally do not like edited screenshots, since they more often than not they completely distort what I would see if I were to use the addon in question on my computer. I'm much more interested in "honest abe" shots than I am in some artsy fartsy post-shot editing bonanza. OTOH, I have no problem with aerosoft opening up a screen-gallery forum. ricardo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kofi 0 Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 I believe Tina's talking about the editing the flight environment. For example, in my A-10 shot above, I went through a bunch of different FS Sky World 2004 cloud/sky sets before I found one I liked. Then I had to find the correct time of day to fly. Then I had to find the right angle before I hit the "print screen" key 8) Kofi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That the guys of FSGS can make sure good shots depends partly on the fact they got systems very much tuned to get the best grafic results. I'm not sending the full shot here as it is far to wide for comfort, but download this one and look how sharp and yet fully anti aliased the attached screenshot.

Sundog 2 Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 Aircraft A-10 Warthog DHC2 Beaver Seahawk Scenery Scandanavian Airports 2 Menorca Manhatten Life in Elba Future Purchases (Hopefully if my companies start making money and I get a real salary): 1) The Germany Series. They look like absolute must haves if you want alot of great airfields and scenery to fly across Germany. 2) The Catalina. I've been waiting a long time for a great Catalina for MSFS so it's good to know we will finally be getting one of high quality. 3) San Francisco. I must say, as posted elsewhere, Monaco would be really great as well. Don't forget the sunbathers on the boats/yachts anchored off the coast Another scenery I would love to see would be a complete Sicily and/or Malta. My favorites -DHC2 Beaver, oddly enough, because I usually prefer the military jets. - Life in Elba. I love the small communities to fly around and do some site seeing, especially if they are islands. Manhatten would probably be my favorite, but it taxes my system too much. That isn't a complaint, I am hoping to be able to afford more memory this year (From 256MB to 1 GB) as the main shortcoming on my system is not enough memory to store textures. Of course, if I do get the memory upgrade, their San Francisco with the Mega Scenery textures will probably become my favorite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
