to the right of F12, there's a button called 'Print Screen'.  When you want the photo, press that, then pause the sim, then go and open up Paint, and paste the image.

there are programs to do this, but i forgot their names, and where to get them, so ill let u wait for some other guys to tell u.

You can also just press the v button on the keyboard. To look at the picture, go to my documents > flight simulator x files, or, my pictures > flight simulator x files.. idk which one. Mine is in my pictures.

Yes, as SubZer0 said, just press V. Its just as efficient as Print Screen.

Or download and install Fraps. It's a great little program. You can record small videoclips of games with it. Also, you can specify a folder for your screenshots and make screenshots in BMP, JPG, PNG and TGA formats. And it displays your framerates.

I use this tool for taking multiple screenies - it saves them automatically to a folder you name. It's easy to use once set up, and setting up isn't hard. Don't forget to set your maximum amount of shots stored to a high number or it starts deleting over old ones once the folder has reached max. I always transfer pics out of the storage folder every time I  shut the program down to be on  the safe side.

fSScreen is a great little capture program and saves the image as bmp to a specified folder.   FSScreen

I myself use a demo version of a program called Rapidshot. Very useful.
