DaveTry Ducklink SCREEN CAPTURE. Works great in Win7.

Snipping Tool, it's a part of Windows 7/8.

Try Ducklink SCREEN CAPTURE. Works great in Win7.
Tried it and quite like to - does other fancy stuff too. Thank you.
I was having issues with Snapper only working when it felt like it.

If it's for FsX what's wrong with the "V" key? Produces a bmp in the photo gallery which I edit and convert to a jpg using Irfanview.

Is there a way to program FSX to save images as a jpg file?

No, which is why I've had "Grabber 2k" installed on all of my machines for years. With it I can capture all screens at once, one screen only, or even a selected portion of a screen with a single keystroke.

SimPicShot, excellent little free prog that also saves in JPG if you want to. Also ability to crop the borders automatically if you i.e run in windowed mode. No more hassle to manually crop pictures to get rid of menu lines or task bars.

I use the "Prt Scr" button (Print Screen) on the keyboard. Then open with Photoshop for cropping/editing.

Hello,
You have also the Cielosim "ScreenImageTalker"...
http://www.frenchpainter.fr/?p=210

If you want to use it, unzip it in a new folder named "Screen Image Tacker"...
there is a small "exe" , you can make a sub-folder for the screens.
Possibility : -JPEG
- BMP
- PNG et GIF

Have a good flight, serge.

I have used for years now a piece of software called FSScreen. A program could not be more simple, you put it where you want your screenshots and press PrintScreen. Works in XP, Win7, FSX, FS9 or what ever. Like a train toilet.
