How To

[Bubblehead]

Please explain to me in easy steps how to make screenshots of aircraft in my collection? I suppose I have to get a good  view of the aircraft in flight and them Pause. What's next?

Well, first go get FS Screen here: http://www.aircraft-photos.net/aspnet_f ... nchor#3030
Its a screenshot taking program.  It allows you to continue flying while taking screenshots, instead of having to pause or minimize FS after each shot.

You don't really have to pause the sim to take a screenshot with this program, but I find that it helps because you can position the camera exactly where you want before taking shots.  Really makes a difference when you take shots of stunts or certain stuff in the background.

It will save the shots to whatever folder the program is located in so you can take as many as you want and go through them to find the best one.

Good luck!  Hope to be seeing some great shots soon . . .

Mike:

Thanks for the patiencehowever, I am unable to get past the "fscreen.zip". I get this error warning saying that it was being blocked perhaps by a security software. Anyway getting around this?

Wellllll . . .

The only thing I can come up with here is to do a search for FS Screen.  You might have to go through a few pages of stuff, as there are plenty of links with that phrase in them.

And who is Mike?
