Hi all.

I'm starting to take some nice shots of my aircraft now i'm getting some practice in, but my pics arent as sharp as most that are as posted here.

I'm running FS2002 and my display settings are at full (although making it a bit jumpy at times) But GCS isn't getting them sharp enough.

Which is the best freeware Screenshot taker I can get at the moment.

(Heres a pic of my DSB Eurofighter, Felt guilty posting without a pic!)

Thanks for your help. Sam ???

Try the nice little program called "Screenshooter". IMHO the best one you can get out there.

I got both PSP7 and PSP8. Both of these have screenshot storing capabilities. Just stores all the pics straight into itself so you can crop and save once u finished.

perhaps it is not the GCS program that is giving you low quality shots, but the level of quality that it is set to put out? have you checked this?

I tried GCS myself, but didn't really care for it..
