Image Capture Programs!

[cloud9]

DEFINETLEY YES

Payware is payware, no matter if it's working in the background or an active part of the screenshot.

This would be the first step of destroying the foundation of this forum. I'm sure the next step will be allowing such add-ons like Flight Environment.


Hence: No - only over my dead body.

(YES YES YES)!!!

Well, pete...
I was just thinking, with some payware programs you may have to use them on your pc rather than a freeware program (for instance, I have a laptop, and want F1view, but I would need a scrolling mouse, and, seeing as I know of no other freeware programs that can do it, I may need a payware one.)

I see your point perfectly pete, and I may change my opinion, but still, it was just a thought.
Thanks

Yes, but only for image capture programmes as stated. The the viewer can be sure the the aircraft, scenery, weather etc is all freeware.

If all images taken with active camera, W&F were in the payware forum then there would end up be loads of posts checking what was free in the shot, what was payware etc...

Challenge: Show me something you think only a payware Image capture program can produce & I will produce it in a couple of minutes using nothing but FS9.

I'd like to see this recreated with just FS9, with the offset aircraft and rotation. I hope you can!

This has the potential for an exciting new thread - "Anything Payware can do, Freeware can do too!"  It would be an interesting challenge, and something different from the usual screenshots.

Our ISP went offline for a few hours so I did this one from memory, but I got the tilt the wrong way around!  Different plane and scenery obviously, but the principle is the same.  Done with F1view.

I also did these just as an experiment to see how far I could move around outside the plane.


Active Camera is probably easier and more sophisticated (I don't know, I don't have it yet) but if you want the shot in a Freeware forum, you'll put in the extra bit of effort.

Nice one Though is that all done from the VC?

I think so

Or there must be a function in F1view that I really want to know about

[gryshnak]

Yep, that's all VC.

Thanks gryshnak,

It looks as like a decision to allow this type of image capture to the Freeware Forums might be heading in the right direction............





Change is good.......      8)

Alpha agrees with Soui and votes

NO

Remember, in the freeware forums the playing ground is supposed to be even. This software will give certain people advantages in the contest and just allows them to produce better shots than others.
I agree with Heretic, this could be the beginning of the Pete's freeware concept starting to crumble.

But this post started by discussing the Freeware forum and Payware forum - the screenshot contest wasn't mentioned, and should rightly remain entirely freeware.

So in the freeware screenshots forum there is no "advantage" to anyone of using Active Cam or W&F to take normal screenshots as there is no competition involved anyway, so it should not be a problem...
