looie,

Hi and welcome to SimV.

The simplest way to take screenshots in fs2004 (or anything) is to press the "PrintScreen / SysReq" key when you want to shoot the shot.

Look for a program called "GrabClipSave", it allows you to take multiple screenshots and save them wherever you tell it to. For clean and crisp resizing, go to http://www.irfanview.com and download Irfanview. Its a pretty handy utility.

I use Irfanview like Tacitblue said - it's a easy to use screen capture utility that will save shots to any folder you like - it also has the ability to resize shots for you.

i find Irfanview is all I need.

Have a look here to for instructions on how to post shots & the maximum size of pic allowed (800 pixels wide, 100k max etc), Irfanview is also available for download here:

Does Irfanview take the screenshot or is it only for editing? And if it does take the screenshot, does it stop the flight sim ?

Thanks,

Chief
