I use Screenhunter used a different program in the past just do a search for freeware screencapture. I think there is also a couple different screen capture programs availiable here at Simv in the Utilities page.

Neat !  I've got some of Falcon's scenery mixed into the default boat traffic "UP" there, too. I do almost all of my GA simming somewhere between Beaver Island and Drummond Island. I wrote my own traffic.bgl to keep it interesting. A bunch of Cessnas, Pipers, Barons and Mooneys criss-crossing the area  :)

Its a static BGL. Tried animating it but it disapears when the aircraft is in the forground. Draw order glitch I think. Went with the static more stable version for pictures and when I get a suitiable wake on it the illusion of movement should be nice. Also with the animation you can only have 1024 frames and a max of about 2 miles animation before Makemdl chokes on it. This is also a little to fast to be realistic speed for these Ladies of the Lakes. ;)

Edit-The UP is definetly one of my favorite places to go. But its all Michigan to me. ;)
