BluBear Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 S! guys, I was thinking of putting together a 2011 desktop background calendar for my own personal benefit, using 12 of my favourite screenshots i've taken from IL2, but I've since had an even better idea!... Here's the plan: - I design a kick-ass DangerDogz calendar for 2011 featuring the best screenshots submitted by all of you. - I'll design it to be available in the most common screen resolutions as voted by you guys. - It'll be available for download here of course. - I could even have them printed (I work in print, and will get good rates ) and you could buy one for your wall! (I could donate any profits to DD server/ts3 costs) Before sending me any screenies we'll see if there's general interest. So there you have it chaps, if you are keen please cast your vote! We could also see this as a bit of a competition to shoot your best screenshot! Remember there are only 12 places. ******************************************************************************************************************************* UPDATE 27.11.10 Ok guys, it looks like there's enough interest in the calendar to make it a go go! So I will outline the provisional requirements: 1. Screenshots must reflect the aeroplanes that DangerDogz fly (see Friar's post) 2. Minor Doctoring/Photoshopping allowed, but we still want it to look like the game we know and love. 3. Please supply JPG files with low compression taken and kept at the highest resolution you can run. (ie. 1600x1200) 4. Deadline for all entries is Christmas Eve (Fri 24th December). Details of a printed version will become available nearer the time. I hope this suits everyone! If you have any further suggestion, please let me know. ******************************************************************************************************************************* UPDATE 11.02.11 First background finally available! February is ready to download in a variety of display resolutions on the vault. Thumbnail and link on my latest post on p3 of this thread.

Seriously though BB, I'm up for that. And a printed version sounds ideal too! Jabo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T_O_A_D Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 Nice Idea, So is it limited to stock screen shots, or can we doctor them up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kimosabi Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 I simply refuse to pose half-naked. No probs, Jedi. Don't worry about it. Bluebear, love the idea. It would be awesome to have a printed version too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1. DDz Quorum B16Enk Posted November 27, 2010 1. DDz Quorum Share Posted November 27, 2010 I simply refuse to pose half-naked. That worries me, a lot. Jedi did not state his stance on any other levels of nakedness, like three-quarters, fully or whatever.. I like the sound of the calendar idea too!

1. DDz Quorum Friar Posted November 27, 2010 1. DDz Quorum Share Posted November 27, 2010 I like the idea, to get it actually printed would be cool with dates on. The dogz logo must be on each page (leaving off the bit about pussies though!) for a dogz calendar I think it should be representative of what we fly, so perhaps shots of..

T_O_A_D Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 Just to add more seed to the cause, here a few I made a few years ago. I'll try and get something more current with Mods going, in the mean time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blairgowrie Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 It would be great if we could include some shots of what I think we all consider to be Danger Dogz signature missions. TB3 dogfight A20 Night Mission 633 Squadron. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadAim Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 How about some of the Dogz in their natural environment? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadrach Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 We print calendars where I work. Google Truprint or Snapfish and you should get to a website where you upload your pictures into any number of templates and your calender is printed and posted back to you. Never done it myself but I've worked there about 4 years and printed thousands of the things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BluBear Posted November 28, 2010 Author Share Posted November 28, 2010 Looking good guys, keep them coming! We print calendars where I work.

Never done it myself but I've worked there about 4 years and printed thousands of the things. Same here mate , i'll do a custom design for the Dogz though...

I was likely going to spec it as A3 portrait wire-bound. Like i've said previously, I work in the industry in design and production and have all the facilities available to me first hand. I can also negotiate good rates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimosabi Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 Is it safe to say that it is going to happen and it's not necessary to vote anymore? More pics comin in from me but the selection process is a meticulate one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
