This may be a silly question but could anyone tell me how to take a screenshot in FS2002?!! Thanks

No such thing as a silly question - it's all a matter of perspective!

Three steps, really:
- download a program that will save jpgs of your screen display by pressing the 'print screen' button on your keyboard (I use GrabClipSave, available in the downloads section - or google for it)

- re-size the pics in your favourite picture editor to a max of 800x600 pixels

- visit the 'freeware screenshots' forum, read the 'sticky' which is the first item, follow the instructions ...

... and you're away!

Happy shooting.

Lucky for you, your not the only to ask, and we have help!

Another good software for Screenshots is MGrab. Google it becuase I can't remember the author.

Hi,

Well well... you take a screenshot in FS2002 by pressing the "Print Screen" button. Then go to your program "Paint" (you already have onboard). There you import the screenie and can you save it as a .bmp or even better as a .jpg. (Sorry I only know the Dutch names of the buttons... so I cannot explain it all).

Of cource there are freeware programs who give you the opportunity to take more than one screenie at the time. I thought it was JASC.

I think the best is Multigrab by Martin Wright.

Scroll down and you'll see it in a small box.

I have not tried other programs , but I like the free one at FSDesign Berlin called Screenshot manager .

I have a nice little program called Howie's Quick Screen Capture. It's made by Howie's Funware. www.howiesfunware.com
It saves multiple screenshots to your C: drive as bmp's or .jpg's.

However, if you want the best quality of screenshots, you have to press the print screen key and paste (one screenshot at a time) into MS paint (ctrl+v).
