Hey guys,

I took some shots over the weekend and tried to locate them on my hard drive after my flight sim session.

I checked under my documents, but there was no Flight Simulator folder. So, I moved on and tried to locate a screenshot folder within the program folder, but alas, no screenshot folder Sad

So, my question, where does Flight Simulator story screenshots??? o.0

It's Flight Simulator 2004 (FS9) if it makes any difference.

Thanks for any help!

First of all, which key were you using to record screenshots? If you used the print screen button, then I'm afraid that they won't have saved. What happens when you press print screen and you aren't using any screenshot program is that your shot goes onto the clipboard, so it can be pasted into a programme such as MS paint. Only one shot can be stored on the clipboard at a time. Every new shot you take effectively overwrites the last one.

If you weren't using 'print screen' then I'm afraid I can't help you. Try searching your hard drive, using Windows explorer, for a file named 'screenshots'. Youi never know...

I am sorry to say that all the screenshots you took are gone. FS9 doesn't automatically store screenshots in a file. You need a screenshot capture program to take multiple screenshots.

I suggest here.
