taking pictures of sim aircraft

Postby Imsuck » Mon Nov 12, 2007 8:05 pm

I had trouble taking pictures of my FS9 aircraft. Every time I take a picture, it comes out blurry. Then I see other people's FS9 pics and they look so realistic. Do you think it's my camera that's causing this or do you think I should adjust my screen brightness? Please help.

It is likely the program you are taking the pictures with.  When I take pictures and copy them into microsoft paint for example, it turns out blurry.  I recommend you use either FSScreen or Ifranview to take your screenshots.
Cheers,

You actually take a picture of your screen using a camera?

Just use a key on your keyboard called PrntScrn...Then minimize FS9 and open up IrfanView and paste the image in... ;)

Oh if you want to pictures, you can use your digital camera :P

If you meant screenshots...Well then use the replies above ;D

And I can't believe no-one has said it yet...They must've missed it like me...Welcome to SimV! [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

Thank you everyone that replied in my post . I downloaded the program that enables saving Flight Sim images. Yes, I did find out that you do not actually take pictures of airplanes.
