They don't just automatically go someplace.  After you hit the Print Screen button on your keyboard you then have to exit the game (or minimize the film viewer) and paste the screenshot into a graphics program like Photoshop, Painshop Pro, ect. then save that to wherever you like.  The print Screen button only saves it temporarily to your Windows clipboard.

Here is the easy way.

You have an Aces High shortcut on your desktop correct?
Highlight it, right click, properties, "Find target".

That will open your AH directory folder.
(you can then click cancel on the AH properties window.)

Ok moving to your open AH directory folder, right click, arrange icons by type.

Your looking for ahss1.bmp
Subsequent Screenshots will be ahss2, ahss3, etc.

I highly recomend Irfanview for cropping, saving those screen shots.
http://download.cnet.com/IrfanView/3000-2192_4-10021962.html

Its free, opens virtually every graphic file type known to man, and will save as most of those including windows icon. (Lets you turn screenshots into cool plane icons)
Irfanview is free, totally free, not shareware. Very tightly coad'd, so it loads fast, doesn't use up all your system resources. And best of all is very simple to learn. Everything is right in plain sight, in plain english.


The other method Bald is talking about is to hit "print screen" in game, alt tab to desktop, open irfanview or other graphics program, edit, "paste".

if you have Vista they will not go to your AH folder unless you start AH as "run as administrator"  right click on AH shortcut as select run as administrator. At least that's how my puter works.

Well anyone running vista deserves not to find their screenshots IMO.

Vista is the Devil!
