There is a problem to make screenshots running FSX in DX10 full screen mode:

"MS paint" shows after snap shot application only a black picture.

In DX10 windowed mode everything works fine.

(Making screenshots in DX9 windowed and full screen mode is ok).

 

Any idea to resolve this?

You've got to use a utility like FRAPS for that, I believe.

The "V" key works for me in Dx9 and Dx10. The screenshots will appear in your Windows photo gallery as bmps. I then use Irfanview (freeware util) to resize and convert them to jpegs.

The "V" key works perfect. I´m doing the pic conversion or add. illustrations with the already existing MS paint easily.

Thanks a lot.

Thanks for this. I was also looking for a quick solution.

Yup. "V" works as fast as you can push it. All mine are done that way, and then I use the batch conversion function of Paint Shop Pro X4 to push them into jpegs.

Just make sure any screenshot postings meet the policy posted in the main AVSIM forum page under Forum>Screenshots. The limit is 1600W and 400KB max.

Guys any news on this side, any other software different from Fraps?

 

I noted screensot done with Fraps are not so good i term of quality loke jpeg.

 

The better way is always "V" key and then conversion?

Well - I purchased Fraps a year ago, and found it to be a pita to use for anything: finnicky, with an interface that is not intuitive.

 

Yes - see post #6 above. 

 

All the best,

Thanks so much Paul.

 

 

I'm not sure whether or not SweetFX has something to do with it, but all my "V" screenshots get jagged aircraft shadows on the ground (AA completely disabled within SweetFX), even though it looks great during the simulation. Looks like the AA is post-processed on the fly, but when the screenshot is taken it doesn't register the AA. It does register the SweetFX effects though, and I'm using DX10 with the Fixer.
