Jim Hanna 0 Posted August 3, 2015 Report Share Posted August 3, 2015 Can anyone tell me how to take screen shots while using FS-9. For that matter maybe you can help with FSX too. Thanks in advance. Link to post Share on other sites
hifly 925 Posted August 3, 2015 Report Share Posted August 3, 2015 Hello Jim and to Mutley's Hangar. For screenshots in FSX use the v key, just a quick press like you would on a camera. I cannot remember how in FS9. Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Hanna 0 Posted August 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2015 Thank you Geoff we will see if someone comes up with a solution for FS 9. Link to post Share on other sites
wain 879 Posted August 3, 2015 Report Share Posted August 3, 2015 I believe you need a screen shot utility, I dont think anything is built in unlike FSX, there used to be some apps on Avsim, not sure if they are still there though... Wayne Link to post Share on other sites
Corsaire31 419 Posted August 3, 2015 Report Share Posted August 3, 2015 For screenshots in FSX I use a freeware called Greenshot. Should work with FS9. Link to post Share on other sites
SEATAC 400 Posted August 3, 2015 Report Share Posted August 3, 2015 Don't know about FS9, never used it. But for FSX just hit the V key amd it takes a bmp and writes it to your \pictures\flight simulator x folder Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Hanna 0 Posted August 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2015 Thanks lads, I am taking all this in. I'm sure the Greenshot will come in handy Loic. Link to post Share on other sites
dodgy-alan 1,587 Posted August 5, 2015 Report Share Posted August 5, 2015 All I do is press the "Print Screen" button, then pause the flight, press the windows button( between crtl and alt), that brings up your home pc screen,(NOTE in FSX you need to press ESC BEFORE the windows key otherwise you'll find that you cannot get back to your flight for some reason), find your paint app, (mine comes up on the side bar) when your paintscreen comes up, click on "paste from" and your shot should come up. if you wish to crop the pic etc you can do that now. Then press the close button and it will give you the option to ,save, cancel or delete. click save and choose a name, also make sure you save as a JPEG. then just send it to your pics folder etc. It sounds complicated but I found that it works and only takes a couple of minutes. Once your pic is safe just click on the FS button and resume your flight. There may be a quicker way of doing it, in which case someone please tell me! Link to post Share on other sites

mike H 456 Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 Hi Jim I use Fraps for taking screen shots in fs9 and it works fine for me, you can also have it set to show your frame rates too while flying.
