Hey guys,

Snagged a copy of FSX a few days ago...havin a sweet time...but I havent figured out how to take screenshots yet!  I thought I remembered hearing that there is a button to take screenshots but I looked through the controls and I can't find it...and I tried using my screenshot program I used for FS9 and it didn't work...

Any ideas? BTW I run Vista...in case that matters...

Thanks in advance Cool.

I haven't tried any of the common screen shot utils in Vista but Irfanview will do screenshots and there is a version of it for Vista.

Best way is to hit 'V' to take a screenshot, then go to 'My Documents->application data->etc...' (I can't remember exactly, but I'll check in an hour or so and get back to you) "My Documents -> My Pictures -> Flight Simulator X Files" and you're shots will be there..  That's all there is to it, no need for outside programs or anything.
