Screen Capture

Is there a key to hit to get a screen shot? I didn't see it in the manual anywhere.

Yes there is - Screen Print.

This is a good default key to try, especially with Microsoft games.

ONce you hit print screen, go paste it into a program like MS paint and there you go... a basic screen shot. If you want to change the format of the picture I'm not sure that you can do it with MS paint, you might need another prog.

If you hit "Print Scrn" the game will take a screen shot and automatically save it into a directory (I don't remember the exact path but it's in "My Documents" near where your savegames are). You don't have to paste each screenshot into Paint indavidually. This makes it possible to capture the screen all the time, then you can go look through the directory and keep the ones you like.

Thanks Ug, I knew about the usual pasting into word doc, but I was hoping FL saved it to a file. I just hadn't bothered trying print scn yet.
