Well, there is an even older freeware method called "Print Screen" it resides at the right of your keyboard, mostly above the Insert-key...
really does wonders, and you can use it as many times you want, as long as you have payed for a keyboard.....
Oh, and one more goodie: it isn't hooked up to any short-cut keys in FS....

Thank you peter for the informative reply
in this case I think "be careful what you ask for" might have been a good headliner to start it with.
I've been busy the last few days with lief on understanding
scenery(yo leif) keeping me from setting some time to carefully read your reply
there are alot of terms I'm seeing for the first time,
it kinda sounds like you've managed to insert the
proverbial circle in the square hole, or in this situation the :k: triangle in the circle
defently in my list of things to try
cheers

fly my mission and then replay it (or some times pop outside the aircraft during flight) and find the angle I want to best express my memory of the flight
hit the print screen key and then open paint or photoshop , or whatever you have
in file open a new doc so I see a blank whit page and then hit crtl+v (in paint you just open the prog and hit crtl+V)
and as the old saying goes........

fly my mission and then replay it (or some times pop outside the aircraft during flight) and find the angle I want to best express my memory of the flight

And it even works with other programs too :-)TobyVickers wrote:Unlike these all singing all dancing programs that some people use though, pressing Print Screen a second time will overwrite the image in the clipboard with the one you have just "taken", so beware!
If you paste it into Paint, remember to save it as a jpg, as the default bmp weighs in about 2-300% of a jpg.
A small tip:
If you have multiple windows open at your desktop, pressing ALT-"Print Scrn" will take a snapshot of the active window only. This is convenient, if you just want eg. a snapshot of the event from eventviewer, instead of the whole background as well.

All my shots are taken in Full Screen Mode as I never use Flight Simulator in Windowed Mode...Hence the software to take screenshots :roll:DanKH wrote:And it even works with other programs too :-)TobyVickers wrote:Unlike these all singing all dancing programs that some people use though, pressing Print Screen a second time will overwrite the image in the clipboard with the one you have just "taken", so beware!
