Shylock35 Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 While flying in sim hit the V key on your keyboard. That will take a screenshot and it will be in your windows/pictures folder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Harmes Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 Hi David, You can go to a picture hosting website such as Imgur, or there are many others. I use Imgur, so I will recommend that one. https://imgur.com/ On the top left of the screen you will see a tab/button saying "New Post". Click on this. A new screen will appear, and to upload your pictures you can either drag them on to the window, or you can use the browse function to search your PC for them. You can optionally give your post a title, which is handy if you are uploading a bunch of pics, as you can search for the group of pics later on. On the top left of each image you upload you will see a code and a drop down arrow. Move your mouse cursor over the drop down arrow and then select "get share links". Copy the code under "BBCode (Forums)" and then paste this code in to the forum. Your picture will then appear on the forum. You can also select a group of pictures you have uploaded by going to your username on the top right of the screen and selecting "images". From here you can select a group of pictures you have uploaded and then get codes for them all with a few clicks. Just copy all the codes and paste them in tothe forum and all the selected pics will appear. Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi David, I have downloaded the images you posted above, so no need to repost those. The info above is just for your information going forward. You might also find it easier and quicker to upload any images if you first convert them to jpg format using Windows paint or something similar. BMP images are fairly large in comparison to JPG images. I will look in to your issue. Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Cooper Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 Hello David, I think that one of your problems is that you have not yet installed the two FSX service packs, SP1 and SP2, without these, Orbx products cannot work as intended. If you don't have the service packs backed up anywhere, you can still get SP1 from here and SP2 from Microsoft from here. Once you have done that, things will improve and even more so if you tick the Antialiasing box and the Land detail textures box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Brettle Posted September 28, 2018 Author Share Posted September 28, 2018 ok, I,ll try the service packs i also wanted to add 1.

It then takes 4m for it to go thru adding gear before it lets it go to screen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 Hello, can you try again with question one please? To answer questions two and three, the cause of that is most likely your PC specs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Cooper Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 Hello, to remove the black squares, please untick the Preview Direct X 10 box that you will now find on the Settings\Display page. To see the change, you will need to restart the simulator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
