where can I find the screenshots I take using the "V" key in FSX? what directory do they save in? Thanks in advance. And also is there a way to change which directory they save into?
 
I dont think there's a way to change the dir.

They are usually in My Documents/ Pictures/ FSX Files
 
If you're OS is Vista and you have FSX installed in the default directory their could be a problem though,something about Vista not alowing Program files to be changed,If you can't find your screens that's probably what's happening,you can use an alternate program like Fraps which works well.
 
I use FScreen..It saves in bmp format but then I just change them in paint to JPEG....

To play devils advocate again, I've used Vista and FSX for a long time across three systems.. always fine for me. The FSX screenshot utility is perfectly adequate.

UAC might stop it though but I don't know for sure.

I agree...I never had a problem in Vista saving with the V key......
 
that's not a stupid question. a stupid question would be one like this:


if corn oil is made from corn, and olive oil is made from olives, what is baby oil made from?

Ahh,must be something on my end then,I will have to take a second look at it.
 
Owner/Pictures/Flight Simulator X Files.

The only problem with using the V key is that FSX saves the files as BMP's. At around 6mb each, your folder will soon weigh a ton.
