But thats not what you asked ???

For capturing screenshots you can use a free program like Irfanview.

Just download it, run it, go to 'option's & select 'capture screenshot' - this program will save as many shots as you like to whichever folder you specify. You can also use Irfanview to resize shots aswell.

Cheers,

No worries, give Irfanview a try - it's quite simple to set up. Just make sure you take 3 or 4 shots of each pic as sometimes the capture misses out bits. Other than that it's a great program.

The other way you can do it is a lot simpler. Open MS Paint. Press "print screen/sysrq" when you want to capture an image, and then paste it into paint. Works for me with no complicated image programs that miss important parts of the picture, most notably, Infranveiw has a tendency to forget the plane.

Thats true - thats why I suggest taking a few 'snaps' of each picture - just in case.

Pressing 'print/screen' is fine, but you will have to pause the sim after every shot so that you can paste & save each & every shot you take. With a program like Irfanview you can snap away to your hearts content & then look through all of the shots afterwards - no need to keep pausing & leaving the sim.

Are you using Irfanview or the 'print/screen' key?

Hmm, your settings look almost identical to mine, my pictures get saved into a folder in 'My Pictures' - but really it shouldn't matter where you save the pictures to - you just look in that folder when you've finished.

I just keep pressing my hot keys (Ctrl & Z) as many times as I like & each time Irfanview takes a picture.

Here are my settings:

I haven't tried Irfanview but have heard good things about it. I'm sure it's easy to use for screenshots, however, options are also good to know about, just in case you have problems; I've been using Martin Wright's Multigrab, it's super-simple. Just google "Martin Wright", it's available free on his website.

I strongly recommend http://www.simradar.com/File/2791/FSScreen_Version_1_1.html.

Where it may save it as bitmaps, using up hard drive space, it's extremely easy to use, and very reliable. Just print screen when the program is open, and it will save the shots to the folder. Despite it being called 'FSScreen', it works in any program, and on the desktop.
