Problems with capturing images

Postby Rich H » Mon Aug 31, 2009 11:37 am

I was trying Screenhunter and Infranview to capture pics in FSX, but rather than capturing FSX, it takes a pic of other windows which are open.
Anyone know what's wrong?

I've never used Screenhunter. Sounds like you're running FS in Windows mode. The usual method for taking a shot of an active window is to press Alt + Print Screen. If you're in Full Screen mode I don't know why you're having problems.

Thanks, I was using the key Ctrl + F11, but that just seemed to capture a picture of another window. I'll just printscreen then sort it out now.
