One of our staff members has suggested that we consider splitting up the screen shots forum into two separate ones. The first would be for General Aviation and Heavy images, and the second would be for military, racing, and miscellaneous images. We thought we would pose the question to you, the users of this forum, to see how you felt about the subject.

I think it would be a bit more inconvienent because we would have to visit several different forums to see what we used to see in just one. Maybe experiment with the idea for a week and see how it goes?-Jason

Tom,maybe you need to more clearly define what GA+Heavies and Military, Racing, and Misc. would encompass. As I see it, 95% of the posts in this forum would fit into the first category...Best,sg

"As I see it, 95% of the posts in this forum would fit into the first category..."Just what I thought... I like it the way it is :(

I think it's ok as it is. It's nice to see the variety of sreenshots in one forum. Half the enjoyment of the forum i find, is thinking about what might be in somebody's post before viewing it, whether it be Heavy, military or whatever. Putting the shots into categories would take away this enjoyment and somewhat unpredictability of the post.Just my thoughts.Cheers

I agree. If anything, give Heavies its own section.Or: Split into "Airplanes" and "Scenery,Weather,FX"

Personally, I come here to see good shots of simulated aviation. Current flight sims, as well as the virtual pilots that fly them, continue to amaze me with the variety and quality of the scenes captured in these screenshots. The category of aircraft has very little, if anything, to do with that. So at least for me, splitting the forum would just mean one more forum for me to visit each day. Having another forum to visit would be no big deal, but there would be no benefit gained from it either.Has anyone actually complained about having to sort through military/racing/misc images in order to see shots of airliners and GA? If so, I can't imagine that person is in any sort of majority.My $.02

I think that the forums should not be split. While it is true that the heavy iron is a little tiresome at times, it's nice to have a central place to browse. In fact, when someone puts up some pics from another Avsim supported simulator (Racing, virtual sailor, orbiter, train sim, etc...), it is quite refreshing, and breaks up the monotony of the multiple jet transport pics.JMHO.Tim13

The purposes of this forum are 1) to depict the great visual attributes of the FS9 and its commercial and freeware addon products 2) to serve as a showcase for the consideration of acquiring these addons 3) for developers to showcase their creations and get input 4) to share the screenshot talent of simmers and 5) to provide a one-stop venue to view all the categories of aircraft so simmers can in one place view and appreciate the wide spectrum of offerings.For the above reasons, let's keep the forum as is.GrantM

I'd love to see a 'Heavies' and 'Everything Else' forum split. Most of the stuff here is heavys, but there are a lot of us who don't even fly heavies.. Heavies and GA are two wholly different fields.Of course, it's not going to happen, but I still like to voice my opinion, no matter how unpopular :D

I like the idea, but if we spilt as proposed most shots will go in one forum. I would suggest splitting the screenshot forum like so: Heavy, GA, Military, Everything else.

The only split I would really like to see is real world and sim pictures.My own feeling for a split if done should be,GACommercialMilitary

Okay, well, we see the trend here, and that's good enough for us. We will not be splitting the forum up and we'll leave it as it is. I will now lock this thread and remove it in a couple of days.
