screenshots - how to do it?

[airman]

How can I take screenshots in FMS? I need to make an icon for my airplanes. Anybody know how to do this?

Just use the "Print Screen" button when you have your aircraft in a suitable position. This will copy the whole computer display (everything) into a buffer, then open a graphics package (such as "MS Paint") and crop the picture to just show what you want.

Another option is to hit the "P" key to PAUSE the FMS simulation and then use the numeric keypad to zoom in and around the model until you have the view you want. Then hit the PrintScr key to copy the image to the clipboard. You can then use any photo editor to paste the image from the clipboard into a working image for later manipulation.
