noahweber Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 I'm struggling to find the right way to go about documenting flights from start to finish through screenshots. If I pause every time I want a shot, it ruins the continuity of the experience. If I DON'T pause, I risk losing control of the aircraft. This is mostly a problem on takeoffs and landings (obviously). During cruise I don't mind spending some time outside of the bird while the AP takes over the controls. So, I'm curious what other simmers' processes are. Do you pause for every screenshot? Do you take your screens in real time while you fly? Do you record the flight and then go back and watch it/take screenshots off the recording? (And if you do the last one, do you use the default flight video feature or an additional program?) Thanks in advance for sharing your tactics with me! -Noah http://s6.postimg.org/a9i0d43tt/Capture.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lifejogger Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 I just hit pause and then go to spot view and hit the V key. Later, after the flight is over I go through all of the screenshots and delete the ones I do not like. You can also use fs-recorder to record your flight and then later on play it back and take your screenshots. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSMR Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 90% of my screens are from the cockpit so I just snap as I go. Like this one. Simple by itself but with a take-off/climb/descent series of shots, it tells the complete story even if individually it seems at the time something average. http://i1373.photobucket.com/albums/ag376/Jonno_aus/Clouds/Clouds8_zpsbpc4jmqv.jpg https://fshub.io/airline/RUA/overview Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darrenvox Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 Go find a screenshot taker program like snapper or fsscreen or whatever they allow you to take multiple shots while allowing you to stay flying WJA221, BFL0200, ASA2703 http://www.darrensfs9site.weebly.com http://darrensflightsimblog.blogspot.com/ https://discord.gg/6d5V7Qu << <<<fs9 discord Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knarfage Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 Fraps is also another way to go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
