Help with my screenshots.

Postby FTL992 » Sun Jun 15, 2008 2:08 am

I have been around the flight sim community for quite some time now.  I have kind of been on a break from it and i recently came back re-installing all my old scenery and some of my favorite general aviation planes.  I would like to get into taking screenshots but I have noticed i have a lack of well good scenery i guess i would say?  Right now i have Ground Environment Pro and it's just not the greatest scenery for general aviation flying.  So, I was wondering if anyone could recomend me a good  vfr scenery.  Preferably US thats where i do most of my flying but doesn't have to be.

Also, I was taking an example screenshot for another post and noticed that it was lacking in greatness haha.  Here it is.  The plane looks choppy?  Is there a way to fix that.  Any tips suggestions on what to do to make the screenys look better?

Put up anti-aliasing on your graphics card and turn it off in the sim in order to smooth out the jagged edges. That'll help for a start. Ground
Environment Pro is great for FS2004. Search for mesh and landclass for one region...GEPro + decent mesh + landclass looks awesome. As for specific regions, just do a search. Holger Sandmann has done some excellent scenery, though I'm not sure how much for the US. Try his Glacier Bay version 2 scenery...

To take good screenshots, good scenery and such doesn't do it all. There are also ways to make that screenshot go the extra mile and really make it stand out. Something that I am still working on  ;).

Check out the tutorial library for tips on how to edit and take screenshots as well.

Hope this helps,
