Simviation Forums

Hello to all! When Clipper announced the new way for the Studio, I offered to write articles for it. This will be my first one. As always please cast your comments, suggestions and ideas.

Home ground advantage.


[size=12][font=Arial]As my first article for the studio I had to think of a subject to write about. The inspiration came after remembering a comment from one of our members about my first shots ever on Simviation. It was a two shot set featuring an F-14 and a Lockheed Constellation. He said that my shots were so much better now. And me having just did a new thread featuring the Constellation had a look back and saw the huge difference. There was a huge amount of difference in how I could make the aircraft look. Back then I liked just about everything. I think my major spamming of the boards back then proved that. Nowadays I post less but better.

So what I want to write about is something I ended up calling home advantage. I think this thread is useful for beginning screenshots artists especially. I have a rather outdated system and instead of completely covering the Simulator in new scenery add-ons and such I concentrated most on specific areas. These areas are The Alps, the U.K. and British Columbia in Canada. Now I

I agree with you completely Soui.  On my old 40GB HD, I had to really priorize which planes, scenery, etc. I wanted.  Now, with 250GB, I have much more freedom, but I still focus most of my scenery upgrades on Canada/US and my planes on...whatever I like .

You're right though...the whole world of FS can be too big sometimes .  You just need to slow down and focus on one area.

Nice article .
