Fsscreen is great for takiing shots and its free
f1view for moving around is free
Walk and follow for moving around, best payware EVER!

Taken from the read me file with fsscreen......
there is no special setup necessary. The program only consists of the file FSSCREEN.EXE which doesn't even need its own directory (however this is recommended because your pictures are saved in this directory as well). You may need the file VBRUN600.DLL because the program was developed with Visual Basic. You can download it from my web site or everywhere on the WWW. Now simply perform the following steps:
- Run FSSCREEN.EXE.
- Run the flight simulator.
- Fly. If you want to make a screenshot, press the Print Screen key. FSScreen saves your picture automatically and you do not need to pause your flight for that.
- Close the flight simulator and FSScreen.
- Your pictures are now numbered in the FSScreen directory or your working directory. You can do with them what you like.
Of course you can use FSScreen not only with the flight simulator, but in every situation when you wish to make screenshots quick and easy.
The program should not decrease the flight simulator's performance significantly. There may be a short pause at the moment you press the Print Screen key, when FSScreen saves the picture.
You can save up to 1000 pictures in one session. If you exceed this number, FSScreen starts at zero again and the first pictures are overwritten.

There's any number of these screengrab utilities. Most of them are freeware so it's a matter of choice. Everyone has their favourites but they all work in much the same way.
PS. This one has worked fine for me for many years --->

Ah, I hadn't thought of that. There's no guarantee the alternatives will be Vista compatible either unless it says so 'on the box'.
