Very nice shoots!
I take some of them for my screen :wink:

[Aragorn1963]

So did I. Which map is this?

Why did you post them in multiple posts when you can use just one?

where can i get that pinkish 109 skin? Great shots by the way!

[max_thehitman]

Thank you, I am glad you enjoyed them.

Some of the Me-109 skins were done by Canonuk. You can download them at his website or find
a few over at Mission4today and Flying-Legends.

This map is the new Channel_Map_1940

Love the one of the 190 and the B-17 max. Great stuff.

Why did you post them in multiple posts when you can use just one?

This is because he also would have posted them at screenshotworld.com where you can only have up to 10 images in a single post.

A noble goal portrayed.

Hello,

I have a copyright question: I guess I can use IL-2 screens posted by other people for my PC screensaver (and by putting the author name on it is the minimum I think)?
But really are in-game computer screens copyrighted by default? Are in-game screens considered as "art"?Same question for in-game computer game videos...
I mean it's like MIDI sound files that are computer-generated and not audio files.MIDI files don't belong to anybody (I think), unless they are exact copies of original musics?
For example a MIDI file of a Michael Jackson music "Thriller" : does the MIDI interpretation belong to the interpreter or not at all?

Same question for IL-2 capture screens: do I have to ask permission to download and use?

Because I would like to make a kind of collection of the best IL-2 snapshots to post on AAA...It's just an idea: I haven't started it yet...

And is it legal to use in-game screens of il-2 in a shirt if I edit them...

Well, that is a good number of questions put forth. I personally do not have any
problems if you guys use my screenshots for wallpapers or whatever, but it would
be polite to at least mention the original posters name (or nickname) when re-posting
those same images. As far as putting your name on images that are not done by you,
that is not polite and if its a work of art, it could lead to a lawsuit. So stay away from
putting names of art or digital art images.
As for computer screenshots, some do fall into the category of being "artsy" and may
be used by that author of the images for artistic purposes, so its best to always ask
the original poster if you may use those images for other means.
It never hurts to ask politely. We are all freinds in this community, so we can all get along
with each other very well. No need to "steal" or "harm" anyone, if we can all get along as
friends.
Some images that you might see, may seem like screenshots, but in fact took countless of
hours to create and they are indeed no mere screenwshot from a game, but rather aviation
digital art. Those artists place their signitures on them with pride, for it took many many hours,
even days to create such a scene. That person may feel good about the image and likes to
share it with his freinds, so he posts it up in forums for creative feedback, comments and/or
suggestions from his friends. So it would be totally uncalled for and illegal to go publish that
image into a book or calender or T-shirt, without some type of written permission from the
original creator/author. That is unpolite and could also lead to copyright infringement... meaning
your are stealing it without consent from teh maker and may soon be faced with some hardcore
lawyers knocking at your door, and that could lead to some serious court problems for you.
Yes, the law protects images placed on the internet. So be careful, and talk things over with a
good lawyer that knows the international laws, before you start using images/art.

If my images do not have my signiture on them , I give you permission to use them for whatever
you may wish. It is my gift for you. Enjoy them

If they have my signiture on them, then you better ask me first, because it may well be
something I want to use for creating a book or something else later on and I have it copyrighted.
So, its always better to ask first. :wink:
