If you don't have a screenshot program then I think the best that you can hope for is one screenshot at a time. Unless you do the Windows (logo key) and "D" keys or the Alt and Tab keys to save each screenshot by interupting your mission or campaign for each one. When I'm flying and I want to capture a screenshot I just hit the Print Screen key or the Alt and Print Screen keys. Then when the mission is over and I quit CFS3 and go back to my desktop. I then have to paste it into MS Paint which I do by .....
Start/All Programs/Accessories/Paint. Then Open a new window and select Paste. It will then paste your screenshot there for you to see, usually in a smaller window that you can maximize if you want too. Then hit "Save As" and entitle it....name it and then choose whatever format you want to use. Bitmap (.bmp) is the highest quality but most people just save it as a .jpeg to save space and this will enable you to post them back here (if you want to) after you crop them to size. 100KBs is the limit and 800 pixels across is too. Or there abouts.
When you use MS Paint it should save them to your "My Pictures" folder by default unless you have otherwise set the destination path to a different folder/location.
After you name them and for some reason you lose them you can always search for them by name and file type. Go to Start/ then Search and put in the exact file name in the appropriate box and search for them.
I hope this helps. If you want to take alot of screenshots in a mission or campaign there are quite a few programs that you can download for free that will enable you to do this. Hopefully someone here can give you a few names and URLs to get you on your way.
Umm, now that I think about it there may be another way inside of CFS3 to do this....but if there is I can't recall what it is.
Good luck.
