Title: How to get your screenshots, the basics.
Post by: 1pLUs44 on September 07, 2008, 12:18:27 AM
Well, I think it would be easiest to finally show how to make your own screenshot with out people telling you how, here is my quick and basic tutorial, which should get you going pretty quickly.

First thing you should do is:

Open up your film viewer and find the shot you're looking for (sometimes hard, but worth it).

Next, you need to hit F3 (Or where it's circled in red 'External View') and F8 (or the scoll bars circled) and set your shot up accordingly.

Also make sure you check and then uncheck the 'Icons' box

Also circled in red is 'Full Screen View' after you get everything set up, click that and hit this exactly:

'Alt-Prnt Scrn' and Open up your MSPaint (or Paint, however you would like to call it) and press 'Ctrl-V'

Please remember that some keyboards have the 'F-Lock' button, make sure you turn it off, take your screenshot, then turn it back on.


And, you end up with this!

Japanese gunsight in a 262? Blasphemy! :lol

You might want to add in there that you have to check and then uncheck the 'Icons' box to turn them off.

Rgr, and I couldn't find the gunsight I wanted to use, so I was stuck with that, but Fixed :D

(one of the downers of downloading and putting all of AKSketchs gunsights on the game... But I never know which one I might wanna use! )

Nice, if you wanna zoom in on it more, hit the ] key or they'll have a bar that you can use to zoom in.  :aok
