be sure to look at the existing screenshots in the c172p's directory... the team spent some time working on those... i think, though, that some taken with compositor enabled FG (especially on or near the ground to show off shadows) might be a GoodThing<tm>...
I have looked in the wiki , but i didn't find any good picture that match the rule " more vertical size than horizontal " nor a great composition.
Question though - if you're going to downsample it to 410x797, then what's the point of going crazy on the multisampling? 1440x960 downsampled to 797x410 already amounts to more than 4x multisampling...
Multisampling is about filter quality, while 410x797 is refering to the final size that we are going to get after crop + final resize. By cropping we will despise the surrounding area without loosing too much model size.
Thanks for your feedback FG'ers, keep going sharing you pictures. I noticed that most of them have been taken from lateral view 2-3-4 oclock which is not suitable for " more vertical size than horizontal ". My tip to you is that the shot must be taken from 11-12-1 or the opposite angle. Also I noticed that too much zoom won't help to fit the more visible model as possible into that little frame, so using less zoom will help greatly. The management of the vertical axis is key for the composition, but also altitude is important even if you are on the ground or in the sky, this will affect the skill and results of your composition: forefront, midfront, background, spaces, landscaping elements, light an so on.
Also I wish to express that this not a contest and perhaps the best picture in normal size will not match the desired results. Will choose the one with the best result. This picture will represent FG 1rst look on the installer. So must be pristine and seamless. And the composition bust be perfect. We won't stop until we find the best.
Mandatory C172 which is the default aircraft for LTS. I suggested the shuttle taking off for the NEXT. But for now we are going for the C172. In words by James Turner "As noted on the list, please ensure it's a screenshot of the C172 : I don't want a (possibly very nice) screenshot of a different aircraft (which is not included out of the box), that migth confuse new users."
Thank you 29.92 and go ahead.
