Theres many ways you can do this.

First method, you don't really need anything to do it with.  You simply hit the "printscreen" key on your keyboard while you are in FS9, and then goto a paint program like MS Paint or Adobe Photoshop etc and go edit paste.

The second method is to get a screenshot capturing tool, that makes things a lot easier, and you can take many screenshots at one time.  I use a program called FSScreen, which I find pretty nice.  Just goto google and search for that program

Hope this helps  :)
Cheers,
RB

There's all kinds of screen shot utilities out there and everyone has their favorite. I have FSScreen and YAFScreen (Yet Another FSScreen). Each one has it's good features and it's not so good. Just look around and find one you like. Most of them are free and some of the free ones are quite good so you shouldn't have to pay unless you want a huge number of features that you can only get in a payware utility. If you want something that can show as well as take screen shots try Irfan View. It's free and makes a great graphics tool. I use it mainly for converting from one format into another. It seems to do the best job with that.

That's the best tip you'll get today -- Irfanview


Edit nice screens like these:
FSScreenshots

[b] Remember:
a lot of those fancy screencapture prog garble and distort images while converting them to every image format known to man.

Use only FSScreen.exe
