I use Fs Screen

Same here, FSScreen is an "oldie but goodie". In fact I often leave it running continuously since it seems to work anytime anywhere - hit "prt scrn" and get a bmp (at my screen resolution these are just over 5meg each ...must remember to prune the screenshot folder occasionally).

Rapidshot freeware very good; just have to copy the photos every so often

I would recommend the use of Snapper or if Payware is an option Fraps

I can't remember whether you can also do it in FS2004, but with FSX you can simply hit 'V' to save your screenshots while playing, you don't need a capture program.

I don't understand the issue here. What's wrong with using the [Alt] PrintScreen button and saving to your Photoshop / Paintbrush / Irfanview / Lview of choice? No capture software required. What am I missing?

The trouble with PrtSc is that you can only save one screenshot at a time. You have to leave FS to save the picture using Paint or something similar and then go back to FS.
I use a program called Snapshooter which I downloaded from he web for free. With it running in the background, everytime you hit PrtSc, the still picture is saved to a folder of your choice while FS carries on running. Then when you have finished flying you can look at all of the pictures and do with them what you will.
I am using Windows XP and FS9.
