Title: SnapShot/Film capture
Post by: bigsky406 on February 28, 2006, 02:51:32 PM

How do you capture snapshots and film?

How do you get the cool external snapshot/film views of your plane?

Command to activate film is Alt-R.  The film will save in your AH2\films folder as ###.ahf.  When you view the film in the film viewer, you have multiple external views avalible.  When you want to take a snap shot from a film, just press the Print Scrn key to save your screen to windows clipboard.  From there just paste your screen shot into any image editor.

Alt-s will save a bitmap to your main Aces High II directory as AHSS##.bmp.  Sometimes you may need a better image program than windows paint to view them.

Print Scrn button saves an image of your screen to windows clipboard.  When you press it, you wont see anything happen.  But if you press the Print Scrn button, then open up any image program, lets use Windows Paint for example...you can select Edit-->Paste, and it will paste the screen shot you took.
