Search what? FS2002? I searched the "How To" section here but to no avail......If someone has a quick response it would be much appreciated.

Quick: pause the sim, press print screen and then copy the pic into any painting programme, or MS paint, then save it and there you have the screenshot!

For details search for "screenshots" or read the manual "how to"
make a screenshot at the screenshot forum.

Hope that helps.

Regards,
Mario

Hit the "print screen" key on your keyboard. This will save a shot of your screen to your clipboard.

Open MSPaint. Click CTRL-v to paste the screenshot into MSPaint. Now save it as a jpg (usually) and email to your friend. :-)

don't pause when you hit print screen or you'll get the little red "Simulation Paused" message in the lower left corner.

I often pause the program before capturing the screen. This enables me to make adjustments in the composition.

The "paused" and "slew" messages flash off and on; just hit the Print Screen key while the message is not visible.

There are a number of utilities that facilitate the rest of the process. I use FSScreen, by Matthias Holzer. It captures the image in the clipboard and saves it in bmp format in a location you can specify.

Later, you can go to the target directory and view your masterpieces (I recommend ACDSee), edit them, convert them to other file formats ( the bmp files are 5,626K each!), ...
