Nov-29-01, 03:37 PM (EST) 1. "RE: How to add screen Shots...." After you take it in MSTS, convert it to a jpg. Then above the window you type a message is an option, click here to upload your file. Choose the radio button, jpg, browse for it and click upload. Another window will pop up with the file address, copy that into the message.Yep simple, after you've done it a hundred times!David Klemm

Nov-29-01, 11:31 PM (EST) 4. "RE: How to add screen Shots...." TO get a screen shot, hit the 'prt scr' button
on your keyboard when you see what you like. Windows
copies the whole screen to a clipboard. Then in paint
or photoshop, or imaging, you can 'paste' into a file
and save it.
My question is - once I derail (o.k. my son and I
mess around alot) the End of Activity message pops
up, and I can't take a decent screenshot - or view
around the scene of the wreck. Can I disable that
so I can send the NTSB around my crash sites taking
screen shots?

From what I've observed after having a reck is that you do a LIMITED amount of time to move your camera position to take addtional screen shots. Using Shift-Ctrl-9 at the same time allows you to vary the camera position of the spotter with the mouse. The same hold true when using the 1, 2 or 3 key to vary your camera position. Using Shift-Ctrl-9 a SECOND time, disables the mouse as the default setting.>TO get a screen shot, hit

No need to paste after each screenshot... Nalle Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

LAST EDITED ON Nov-30-01 AT 04:09 PM (EST)An additional Note:Remember to rename or move the shots you want to keep out of the Train Sim folder. Everytime you quit and restart the game, it'll start saving screen shots with shot number "0" again. As a result, it'll overwrite any shots that you haven't moved or renamed.Steve
