Hello, I am using sweetfx 1.5 in p3d2 and it looks great!  The problem is when I hit the V key, the screenshot I get does not have sweetfx applied.  In other words I can see sweetfx in the sim but not in the screenshot.  I have seen some version 2 screenshots with sweetfx and the difference is obvious.  It's like the screenshot for me is happening pre-sweetfx.  I could post the screenshots with and without sweetfx, but I don't see the point as the screenshots with and without it look exactly the same.  Does anyone have any thoughts on this issue?  Thanks for your time. 

You will probably need to use an external screenshot program such as Grabber2k to capture what is actually rendered to the monitor.

You can also use fraps. I leave a sample.

How much of a memory footprint does FRAPS take up? Grabber2k is a simple TSR program that lurks in the background and takes up just under 2KB of RAM (hence the name)...

There's also a little program called Snapper that can superimpose your lat/long, distance and direction to the nearest airport and lets you customize the file name.

I use it while beta-testing scenery and it helps out a lot.

Thanks for the suggestions.  I'll give Grabber2k a try.
