I was just wondering how to do it.  I tryed to use the Print Scrn Sysrq button, and I can see the sim stutter just a bit when I do it, but I cant find where the pict was sent to.  If somone could help me with this I'd really like to post some screen shots.  I seen a couple of freeware programs that do it but I cant remember/find where they are now.  Thanks for any help.

If you're using the PrintScreen approach, you've got to go immediately to your photo editing program (MS Paint, PaintShop Pro, PhotoShop, etc) and press CTRL-V (or go to paste through the menu options).  The image will then be pasted into the editor.

An easier option is to get a program called GrabClipSave (Google it) and it will put them in the folder of your choice, thus letting you get many captures at a time without pasting.

GrabClipSave is available here

Thank you sir!

Here's a thread that I did a while back that addresses some of that:

and a address of a good shot utility that I now use, MGrab:

Hit pause ( P key) to pause the sim, then printscreen and you won't get that stuttering.

Try this program for working with your screen captures. It's very good and FREE.
Irfanview

When you install it, configure it to associate the program with IMAGES ONLY

Thank you Hyperion(sorry for spelling your name wrong, didnt notice tell I hit "post"),Pete, boeingman, and MichealH, I got GCS and posted my first shot in the screen shot forum.  Check it out and tell me what you think...

I use Photoshop, so the best way I have found it to press Ctrl + Print Screen and then pause FS then open Photoshop and place the image and crop as necessary.

Works great.  You can look up my screenshots in the various screenshot forums.

A good technique, if you don't mind pausing your game after every shot.  Most people don't like doing this, though.
