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.

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.

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.
