Lepres Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Any advice on how I may capture more than one shot without using Fraps? Using printscreen now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Harris Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Great shot! The V key on your keyboard is how we all take screenshots, these get saved in BMP format in C:\Users\[uSER NAME]\Pictures\Flight Simulator X Files Due to the BMPs being large in size (5-7mb) open them up with MSpaint (type 'paint' into the windows search box) and save-as in JPEG format.... ideally for the internets you want a picture thats about 200-500kb in size Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Killa-kebab007 Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Nice shot sir!, Try googling screenhunter pro, brill bit of kit that allows you to capture from any monitor on your rig and has customisable settings on how big you want the end file to be. Hope this helps. Best regards Mac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capnsully Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 That one shot is a good Advert for the Tamworth scenery! Yes that V key output directory is pain to find. Best to create a shortcut once you find it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Search all over still couldn't find. Am using Win 7. Any idea did I do right? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scroll down the "Event" column to "Capture Sreenshot" and make sure the V key is mapped to it. If not just click on "capture screenshot", then click on "New Assignment" on the bottom left. This will bring up the "New Assignment" dialogue, and then you just enter "V" or whichever button you wish to take pictures with. By default V is mapped to this function, but perhaps your V key has been mapped to something else. As mentioned the pictures will be in the "Flight Simulator X Files" folder within your "Pictures" folder. Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
