People have set up crazy missions in the ME to get a perfect picture of a combined operation meanwhile first place looks so effortless. yea, my screenshot was pretty trash, but at least there was depth to it, hinds in the back ground, it had movement, id argue it was technically better than that hind screenshot, but visually worse because my computer struggles to run DCS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see so much PITA here. It's ED's competition, their rules and their judgement. Try your luck next time.

PawlaczGMD Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 I did not submit anything so I have no dog in this fight. But honestly it makes me wonder how the winner was decided. It is the most generic DCS screenshot imaginable. Default Hornet with an airquake loadout. I see that basically every time I fly the Hornet. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red_Dragon Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 their judgement? It seems yes.. But I'm not sure about their own rules 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you used word: "Crazy" There might be the problem. I know this was not in the competition list. But if you check the ED's brandbook, you will find something very important in the page 7: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/upload/medialibrary/c3d/ddk63von2e7lssf5n3npl8dy02mst1yg/Third_Party_Brand_Guidelines.pdf About post processing - Don't forget that you can choose color filters right in the game.

Yet you felt the urge to put down the winner and his pretty good screenshot? Obviously ED team liked it most and that's all about it. 1 Win10 i7-10700KF 32GB RTX3060 Rift S T16000M VPC CDT-VMAX TFRP FC3 F-14A/B F-15E CA SC NTTR PG Syria Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnRedcorn Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 Well, I didn't expected that one of my screenshots could win the competition. And guess what? Yeah, right, none of my screenshots has won the competition. Exactly as I expected. Anyway, it was nice to play with "Model viewer" creating some custom liveries so it was possible to crate all these planes and helicopters with oppened cockpits, panels, ramps, inserted wheel chocks, e.t.c.. What I have learned from it? First of all, the static objects animation trigger is not functioning for about ten years already. By the way I have found some script (after sending the screenshots) which should animate static objects. I didn't checked it yet, but I think its working (need to check it). And yes this function is not documented anywhere. The second thing is. There is some 3D models in game's dirs which can't be used in game. Because they are not exists in mission editor. These objects also never seems to be used in game. There is a sailors, technicians and a planes moving tug 3D models for Kuznetsov which I have never seen in game. Don't know why they weren't added to mission editor and weren't used anywhere in game? The bottom line is. It would be nice to have an animated ground crew on airfields, fixed "static objects animation trigger" and some animations for cargo planes and helicopters. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gmangnall Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 There are some superb shots here - I particularly like the Phantom over Marianas, Apaches near the pyramids, the Hind and the Apaches leading the tanks....there is only one picture which doesn't seem to warrant being here.....and that's the winner! How on earth did that win? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red_Dragon Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 (edited) Now it seems I can see.. Most of all the top screenshots look suspiciously similar to the standard advertising screenshots of ED. They are good, but perhaps the ideas of ED and many users about the beauty of screenshots and screen's impact is really different.. You know, for example, you dream of showing the beauty of real world of aviation through screenshots of DCS, but ED let's assume wants to see the beauty of their PRODUCTS Edited September 2 by Red_Dragon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cptmrcalm Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 Just a suggestion. For what its worth. Perhaps the community could vote for the next one? We all have our opinions I guess. ED liked what they liked - I just wondered if it fit the criteria? In any event - I really enjoyed looking through the efforts put in. 3 https://www.youtube.com/@cptmrcalm | https://www.instagram.com/cptmrcalm/ | https://twitter.com/cptmrcalm | https://www.tiktok.com/@cptmrcalm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiGCap1 Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 Interesting that only one of all the winners and runner-ups shows a combat situation between two aircraft ... Doesn't mean DCS Digital Combat Simulator? Most of the - really nice IMO - screenshots could be used for other sims as well. 1 http://www.instagram.com/spetersen13/?fbclid=IwAR07OCbRZX6qISe0fS8iUQfzts_iazbm7UEsxiKNnqviADGTaRWJJN7iAws http://www.facebook.com/spetersen13/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that firing weapons, smoke and fire are the only fun parts for some but doing full mission you see that for only a fraction of time (if at all) and screeshots reflect that.

Some of them did. Yes. Just have to remind ourselves: Visual Appeal: Clarity, composition, and impact. Creativity: Originality and story. Relevance: How well it represents DCS. I keep looking through the screenshots people submitted- really good stuff in there. I was getting a bit DCS fatigued - but its certainly lit the fire again! 2 https://www.youtube.com/@cptmrcalm | https://www.instagram.com/cptmrcalm/ | https://twitter.com/cptmrcalm | https://www.tiktok.com/@cptmrcalm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
