Full screen and shift+print screen. Idk what you'd do if you have a mac

Screenshots? Yes. Pause the video at the point you want a picture. Click the pan view and set up the camera however you want. Then click the fullscreen view button on the right side. Move mouse off screen, click the PrtScrn (Print Screen) button on your keyboard, and click anywhere to exit full screen view. Open any picture editing software (MS paint, Gimp, Photoshop) and edit>paste. Taadaa!

Currently clouds disappear when going to full screen view, so if you have clouds in the background of the shot and want them to stay then you'll need something like FRAPs that can take a Screenshot of the film viewer window without going into fullscreen view.

FRAPS or other free softwares.

Currently clouds disappear when going to full screen view

This is a very annoying bug.

There is a way around it.  If you are in external mode, press [] keys to move camera in and out, and clouds will come back.  If you are trying to set up an internal-mode shot, go into full-screen view, then press F1 to get to reset internal mode and its view.  Clouds will come back.  The unfortunate part is that then you have to set up your shot all over again -- such as F3 for external view (if you want it), F8 for pan mode, then start panning around and moving around with the arrow keys to get the shot you wanted.  But at least the clouds are there again.

I'm doing a lot of that for screen shots from the Battle of Britain scenario -- which, by the way, you are going to fly in for Saturday's frame 4, right?  Right?  Hmmmm?
