I had trouble taking pictures of my FS9 aircraft. Every time I take a picture, it comes out blurry. Then I see other people's FS9 pics and they look so realistic. Do you think it's my camera that's causing this or do you think I should adjust my screen brightness? Please help.

It is likely the program you are taking the pictures with. When I take pictures and copy them into microsoft paint for example, it turns out blurry. I recommend you use either FSScreen or Ifranview to take your screenshots.

Cheers,

You actually take a picture of your screen using a camera? Grin

Sorry for laughing, but it is very funny.

If you want to take a screenshot, you use a program to take the shot. There are many available. Like it was said before, you can use IrfanView or Screenhunter. Just click on one of these links.

PS Welcome to Simviation. I hope you enjoy your stay here. And if it works post some of your screenshots.

Just use a key on your keyboard called PrntScrn...Then minimize FS9 and open up IrfanView and paste the image in... Wink

Thank you everyone that replied in my post . I downloaded the program that enables saving Flight Sim images. Yes, I did find out that you do not actually take pictures of airplanes.
