Taking pictures of your plane

The hard way: Press PrtScrn up at the top of your keyboard by the F keys if you'r running FS in fullscreen. If you're runninf FS in window
and want to keep your toolbar private, press ALT-PrntScrn. Than open a program such as Paint and press Paste. The picture should be
there, but if you pressed PrtScrn twice, it'll only show your last picture. This is because pressing PrntScrn puts a picture of your current
display onto the Windows Clipboard.

The easy way: Find a freeware program that takes pictures when you push a button on the keyboard. Set it how you want it, and enjoy!

The best freeware to my knowledge is Irfanview at

Thanks very much I'll try all three ways.

just note, when you do take pictures of your plane, and come to save them, do NOT save them as bmp. format. save them as jpg format.

bmp formats are normally huge and take a long time for people to actually view them. jpg's can be 20 times smaller than the same
picture as a bmp.

I won't be putting it on here, I just wanted to email to my friend. I'm not good enough at painting to put it on here.

Check avsim.com for fsscreen.

clut, however if they are saved from MS Paint in jpegs the quality is often terrible. I normally save in another program and then put the
quality at maximum so no artifacts are left. rusty11 I therefore suggest using another program for saving them if your going to go the jpeg
route

Thanks everyone for all the ideas. I have one other question. Can you change atc to recognize and speak your fictional airline?

Here is the program I use: http://www.ovosoft.nl/snapper/ Download and enjoy! It even places your altitude, heading, and your location
relative to the nearest airport when you take a picture in Flight Simulator! :finger:
