I was cleaning my HD with Treesize and saw there were 18gb of 9mb .bmps in a \Pictures\Flight Simulator X folder. What's writing these? I know FSUIPC has a snapshot function but that is unchecked. Any ideas on how to track this down?

 

Thanks,

Mark

When pressing the keyboard "V". FSX will save screen shots in the Users\Documents\Pictures\Flight Simulator X folder. Perhaps you have inadvertently pressed the V ?

I use the keyboard 'V' for outside spot view. I had no idea I was taking scteenshots!

HAHAHAHAH Awesome!!!!

 

Sorry, it's just fun :lol: :lol: :lol:

Wow 18GB...how long have you been taking screen shots? There must be some good pics in there I bet!

Dude! This is embarassing!

I've used the 'V' keyboard command forever for spot view. Now I have to figure out an alternative...cntrl > Shift > backslash > Q > F1 should work. :lol:

That was rather , amusing. DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAH

 

Now you know how to make a screen shot!

All right, now that everyones had a good laugh :Doh:

 

Is there a keyboard command for spot view (not F11 Locked) that all you brainiacs can provide....

Shift/ S will get you there through cycling.

You could just remove the "take screenshot" command from the V key in the FSX controls options. That's probably the simplest way, at least as long as you don't care about screenshots/use another program for it.

Quite entertaining with the "v" key , but Newtie actually asked a good question, for which I have been seeking the answer for myself.

 

Can you actually make a shortcut key direct to the "spot view" ?

Not a "cycle through view" key, but a shortcut key that will take you direct to "spot view".

 

And Newtie, did you manage to set up the "v" key to go direct to "spot view" ? And if confirmed, how did you do that ? :huh:

 

Best regards

Yeah I think you can if you goto the controls menu in FSX and on the drop down select views and I think its an option that you can assign any key you want to it.

Hi Gman

 

I am afraid that is only possible with the "locked spot" view.

 

I wonder if it is possible to do something with the camera.cfg or some other magic stuff :lol: to make a shortcut direct to the "spot" view. Not really sure though...

Shift/S 3 times is the only way I've found, which is why the V key was so handy.

If you have registered version of FSUIPC. Assigning a controller button or any combination of key presses to FSUIPC Camera Definition 3 will work. Why can you not assign key-presses using the default button and keys command to the Locked Spot view? Making sure their unassigned. ex. ctrl/shift/O. The main point is on unassigned, unlike V. Or if you insist on using V. Delete it from the Capture screen shot assignment.

 

One thing I don't understand in all this. How does "V" get you to spot view. It doesn't on my default assignments?
