Aerosoft Aerosoft Team [Inactive Account] 51558 Posted July 14, 2011 Aerosoft Share Posted July 14, 2011 As you might have seen we are working on some pages to assist newcomers to the great hobby of flight simulation. You see, as we all grew with the hobby it is easy to forget how we started and how complex it all seemed. One of the things we like to do is to show how add-ons changes the simulator to something far better then the product itself. And what better way to do so then with images. So here is a challenge: Find a real aviation image, then replicate that with standard sim (X-Plane, FSX. FS2004) and with the sim + add-ons. Try to get the images as close as possible. Of course we prefer it if you would use any of the products we sell, but that's not a prerequisite. If we use your image we'll get you some free products. The image need to be 768 pixels high, width does not matter. If the original photo does not contain a copyright notice (like mine does) do mention where you got it!

Deputy Sheriffs mopperle 4162 Posted July 14, 2011 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted July 14, 2011 Mathijs, this is a verny nice idea, but I can see one problem: It will be easy to find a lot of real aviation images we can replicate. But even if they are available over the web, I don't think that we/you are allowed to use them on your commercial website for free, due to copyright rules.

Aerosoft Aerosoft Team [Inactive Account] 51558 Posted July 14, 2011 Author Aerosoft Share Posted July 14, 2011 How about this? Not perfect, but it's pretty close! Nice one, but we prefer stuff that has the same in default FS so the whole idea of add-ons versus default sim is shown. But it's amazing how close we are, isn't it?

Chris_327 42 Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 Hi Mathijs, wasn't sure if I'm allowed another go, but thought I'd post this seeing as I'd messed the first one up anyway!

Aerosoft Aerosoft Team [Inactive Account] 51558 Posted July 19, 2011 Author Aerosoft Share Posted July 19, 2011 Here's a quick one from me, the original picture was shot by me as well. I couldn't match the exact angle without losing airport detail (buildings disappearing and stuff like that) but I tried to get as close as possible. The stock FSX image still uses GEX unfortunately, I can't simply switch it off due to the fact that I forgot to make a backup when I installed it . Nice one! And a clear example that GEX does not always makes things better. Default FSX is far more realistic in that region. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This impressions were the initial startup for me to buy and install FSX, and this means to buy more and more Addons, OK Aerosoft you also want to live !
