Hi i've had FS2002 for a while and only just got into it. I want to take some screen shots but cannot find any way of doing so. Have I just overlooked it or do I have to have some special software. ??? please help. Cheers Sam.

Sam. Try this. http://www.simviation.com/fsdtutscreensh.htm
It makes it look a lot more complicated than it really is.

Lots more helpful tips & tutes in the SimV Help sections. Also my own Grumpy's Lair. Both are linked from the main page.

Try MultiGrab from http://www.mnwright.btinternet.co.uk/beta.htm install this and set it running before a flight. You can tell it where to save your screenies and whilst flying you just take shots you like by pressing Prt Scrn Wink

mwgfx.dll is posted on the same site as MultiGrab. It's most likely on the same page.
