I once had a download in which if I wanted a screen shot I could activate this utility, go to full screen and "hit print screen" and the screen shot would be saved in a screen shot file. SOMEHOW the utility got uninstalled and I cannot remember the name of the file. Help ???

Hi. I use a program called FSscreen, and I'm very happy with it.

Instead of using a utility, FSX has it built in. If you press 'V', then it takes a screenshot and puts it in your username/pictures/Flight Simulator X directory.

granted it means A LOT more work, while you are flying you could hit the PRNT SCRN/SYSrq key. Pause your flight. hit ALT+TAB to minimize. Open MSPaint > Edit > PASTE. Save As: (picture name).(type)

ALT+TAB to get back into sim, unpause /continue flying....... and re do the whole process all over again.

but being that you are flying FSX, I would just follow MachineMan9's suggestion and save this as your backup.

edit.... my way works wonders on websites that do not allow you to 'right click' / Save Picture/text as: it will just copy the whole page as it is displayed on the screen, you can open MSPaint and crop what what you want to keep and save just that portion. Smiley

You can also use fraps. That's what I used to use in FS2004. It's nice that it's built in to FSX now.

You can do that in most graphics editors. It doesn't have to be MS Paint.

The thing I like about FSScreen, is that you can take as many shots as you want. I have a FSScreen folder on my desktop, and they all automatically go in there.

I use "snapper" I like that you can take multiple screen-shots and it also shows the location of your aircraft.
