Hey all,

 

With so much excellent content out there now for IL-2, it's time to see how good you all are at taking superb screenshots. For this first contest, the theme is the Battle of Normandy, June 1944, over the invasion beachhead. Other than that, the general rules and guidelines are as follows:

 

  • The screenshots must not be edited with any post-processing filters or other tools found in imaging editing programs.
  • The images must be in Full HD resolution (i.e., 1920x1080) or higher
  • The images must of course be your own original work.
  • Custom skins may be used, but no swastikas may be shown.
  • All images must be posted here in this topic or on Discord.

 

This first contest will run through next Thursday, July 20 at, 1900 UTC. The winner will receive a code for the collector plane of his or her choosing. 

 

Good luck!

As part of a squadron that use a lot customs skins, is it okay if some appears on the screenshot or not? Or do we need to have only official skins?

Custom skins are fine.

Some of pictures I took of our squadron's Normandy campaign. I guess it fits the theme of the topic.

I think it would be nice to have a separate contest that allows editing as in roen911's work. As I understand, lots of GB's graphics were done by him. It would allow some of us Photoshop / Gimp geeks to flex our beer muscles. ?‍?
