I'm having trouble trying to take screenshots on GCS I have two monitors running at the same time and when I take a screenshot I get a picture on flight sim but I get the other screen on my other monitor on the screen shot two. I also tried turing of the other monitor but that didin't help any suggestions?

What happens if you hit Print Screen & paste the image into an ordinary image editor like M$ Paint? If this does what you want try MultiGrab. http://www.mnwright.btinternet.co.uk/programs/mgrab.htm

Otherwise I'm sorry but I have no idea as I've never run 2 monitors from one PC.

PS. I've resized your image to comply with the forum limits.

Or you could just throw the image into IrfanView and crop it. Wink

I think Hyperion has the obvious answer. You would need to edit the image anyway if you wish to post it here. It would save a lot of messing about. Wink

PS. I noticed the file name of your shot is GCS027.jpg & anyone using GCS could have a shot with the same name. It's a good idea to save or rename images with file names unique to you before uploading them here or you could easily overwrite someone else's existing image.

I run dual monitors ....... and its as Hype says you need to crop to get rid of the part of the image you don't want. The other alternative is to switch off the desktop extention when you use your sim.

Thanx all, I finaly came to a conclusion I will just unplug the 2nd monitor. Also I will use PSP9 to edit my images with what trial version I have.

Grab Clip has a setting to take a picture of the active area only. If you look around in the settings you should be able to find it.

Yeah, I found out I just needed to go to the Properties on the desktop and go to the settings and disable the second monitor. You will not, need to go to the gcs to fix this. Anyone else that might have this problem to. Grin

I also run a dual monitor setup, and once ran into that problem, so I downloaded the free version of fraps, and just take screenshots with that program, as it only captures the shot of the active game or program running and not the secondary monitor. It also gives you the option to capture your screenshot in either bmp jpg or gif format. Decent program and solution to that type of problem.
