I can pause a flight,  press Print Scrn and get a printed picture of the paused flight but, how can I save it instead and do the printing from the file?

Go to FRAPS and download it. You will then be able to assign a key to press to take screenshots, and it will save them all in a folder for you. In its unregistered form it'll will save them as bitmaps, but these can be changed to .jpg easily using IRFANVIEW

Otherwise, I think alt+printscreen takes a screenshot, but then as soon as you press alt+printscreen again you'll lose it...

file -> Save as

Just get Irfanview!
It can save multiple screenshots via a "hot key" (as many as you want), edit them, even combine images for a pic collage.
You don't even need FRAPS, GCS or any other program for screen shots
It also  has much  too many, more features than I can mention here.

It's a, small, very easy to use pice of freeware that has no bad habits. It's simply a must have IMO.  :)

you dont even need to press alt as far as im concerned. just hitting 'prt scr' will do.

Amen to that!!

I wouldn't know - I don't use it anyway - I was going back to the old days of FS5+

Just had a thought -

FS2004 is FS9
FS2002 was FS8
FS2000 was FS7
FS98 was FS6
FS5 was FS5...

..so what was FS95, which came between FS5 and FS98?

Joe_D:

I got Infanview. If it's no trouble at all, could you walk me through how I can save an FS9 screen (Paused) ?

Thanks.

Bubblehead...Irfanview is great for resizing, so keep that...but I'd never recommend it for screen captures.  GrabClipSave is the easiest I've found to capture.  I use Irfan to resize, nothing more.

As for Fraps, it's a great video capture tool, but again, I don't recommend it for still capture.

fsscreen works for the shoy capturing and Irfan for resizing

I like Mgrab. Easy and can take as many screenshots as you can hit your print screen key
