ENO Posted June 26, 2019 Posted June 26, 2019 Haven't looked to see if this has already been requested but one of the other sims I'm involved in has a weekly screenshot competition with some relatively tight guidelines that are voted on by members of the community... I find many of the different themes less than inspiring yet I do see some very impressive creativity on the part of the community. Certainly there were also some challenges with people and multiple accounts voting for themselves- so it would require some oversight and the ED / 3rd party devs would need to have the final say on photos regarding their own modules... but I think it would be a great opportunity to provide exposure to the creativity in the community as well as a fresh look at different aspects of DCS World. A couple things (I feel) that helped: 1) I don't think weekly is necessary but maybe a monthly event to help minimize oversight and also test the concept? 2) A defined theme, providing participants with the broadest possible opportunity to capture the theme with a wide variety of modules. 3) Specific resolution limitations so that people with lower end, single monitor systems are able to participate. 4) Participants need to disclose what map / module they were using when the photo was taken. If not a game / title screen shot then it could be a forum banner... Just thinking... "ENO" Type in anger and you will make the greatest post you will ever regret. "Sweetest's" Military Aviation Art
Kid18120 Posted June 28, 2019 Posted June 28, 2019 i actually like the idea. It's a way to get the community together and involved in something more "intimate" with the sim, I doubt it will happen though, at least for the in-game menu background, simply because ED has it "local" to each computer and would require a patch download for it to change. Many games, especially the latest installments of known series (COD, BF, free stuff like WT and such) have part of their stuff streamed from a server, so they can alter things without the need of a download for clients (there's still a download but you don't see it anyway) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Simming since 2005 My Rig: Gigabyte X470 Aorus Ultra Gaming, AMD Ryzen7 2700X, G.Skill RipJaws 32GB DDR4-3200, EVGA RTX 2070 Super Black Gaming, Corsair HX850
