Hey,
ok this is probably the noobiest question of all time, but How do i get a screenshot from FS9? Hit Printsceen but dont know where to go now. I know its in some folders for FSX, is it the same in 9? Or after i take the shot, do i have to minimize and paste? I'm not sure.

Irfanview also has a great (programable) screen capture feature.

Hi Lt Air Force,

After hitting Print Screen, paste the image into Irfanview (highly recommended by many, see Alrot's link). Then, resize the image to a maximum size of 800 pixels wide, save it and bring each image to under 100kb in weight. (Irfanview has a slider on the save menu that allows you to do this )

If you want more help, read the screenshot tutorials here (there's also an Irfanview tutorial) and for screenshot help visit Studio V Screenshot Workshop.

THanks Guys! I'll have to check that infanview out and start posting shots!

As a side note, dont know if im stating the obvious here but in fsx you dont have to print screen and paste you just hit V and it gets saved imediatley to flight simulator x folder in my pictures, so you click away like mad and check them out when your finished.

Irfanview is a very handy, feature loaded piece of freeware.
It has been a must have with every reformat for years.
