How do I take a Screen shot?

Postby Sam 400 » Sun Jan 04, 2004 2:31 pm

Hi i've had FS2002 for a while and only just got into it. I want to take some screen shots but cannot find any way of doing so. Have I just overlooked it or do I have to have some special software.  ??? please help. Cheers Sam.

Hi Sam, there is a great thread on this in the freeware screenshot forum that will explain everything you need to know ;)

Sam. Try this.  http://www.simviation.com/fsdtutscreensh.htm
It makes it look a lot more complicated than it really is.

Lots more helpful tips & tutes in the SimV Help sections. Also my own Grumpy's Lair. Both are linked from the main page.

Try MultiGrab from http://www.mnwright.btinternet.co.uk/beta.htm install this and set it running before a flight. You can tell it where to save your screenies and whilst flying you just take shots you like by pressing Prt Scrn ;)

mwgfx.dll is posted on the same site as MultiGrab. It's most likely on the same page.
