looie,

Hi and welcome to SimV.

The simplest way to take screenshots in fs2004 (or anything) is to press the "PrintScreen / SysReq" key when you want to shoot the shot.

I have noticed that some paint programs can

Look for a program called "GrabClipSave", it allows you to take multiple screenshots and save them wherever you tell it to. For clean and crisp resizing, go to http://www.irfanview.com and download Irfanview. Its a pretty handy utility.

You can download a free screenshot taker called fraps from http://www.fraps.com/

I use Irfanview like Tacitblue said - it's a easy to use screen capture utility that will save shots to any folder you like - it also has the ability to resize shots for you.

i find Irfanview is all I need.

Have a look here to for instructions on how to post shots & the maximum size of pic allowed (800 pixels wide, 100k max etc), Irfanview is also available for download here:

TSC.

....mmm...Must agree with TLC and Tac....Irfanview gets my vote.........commoner

LMAO 'TLC' - maybe I need to show 'er indoors that  ;D

Cheers,

Oh yeah! I forgot that Iview could also take screenshots... I might just stop using GCS.

FSSCREEN and Irfanview for me

Irfanview is simply a must have....I have been using it for years!

Ow yeah.. something else go to The freeware screenshot place and look for Lemoncat's posts!

Irfanview, Where do you get the program???????

www.irfanview.com Not too hard ey

Does Irfanview take the screenshot or is it only for editing? And if it does take the screenshot, does it stop the flight sim ?

Thanks,

Chief
