• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Screenshot question...

They'll be in 'My Pictures' folder in a sub-folder call 'Flight Simulator X files'. Some body else will have to answer part 2, but you may need to set up a Photobucket (or similar) account, post the shots there and link to them from here.

I know this is a stupid question but,where can I find my screenshots in FSX? And how do I post them here?
Click to expand...


My screenshots are done using either FRAPS or FSScreen, which is a free utility that will capture the screen when you hit PrtScr on your keyboard and store it where ever you place the FSScreen.exe. It will capture FSX in DX9 only, for some reason DX10 will be a black blank. For capturing DX10 screens in FSX, I use FRAPS, which is payware, but worth it, as it captures video also.

To post screenshots here using SOH's attachment, see below in your post where there is a button that says "Manage Attachments". Click it and you can post as many as eight screenshots in one post. Make sure you meet the size and format specifications, nothing larger than 1280 X 768 or it will be automatically cropped.

FRAPS is free. Download, install and press F10 to dump screenshots to C:\FRAPS.

The free version only saves screenshots as bitmap files, so you need a free photoshop type program such as GIMP to resize and save as jpeg.

http://www.gimp.org/

JTo resize jst open your image in GIMP, click image from the top, then click scale image, type in the size you want(I use 1000 pixels wide), select cubic as the method and then click scale.

After that go to file/save as, change the file name to whatever.jpg, and save. It will prompt you to select a jpeg quality level, and 90-95 range works good.

After that attach and post.
