Recommendations
For better-quality
screenshots, we recommend the following:
-Set the flight simulator to "full screen"
mode.
-Pause the simulator before taking your
screenshot(s).
-Take the screenshot when on-screen messages
(pause and/or parking brakes) aren't flashing, and don't let objects from
outside the simulator picture into your screenshot (including the Flight
Simulator title bar).
-Include the entire
aircraft in the screenshot, and let the aircraft take up most of the screen.
-Use your best-looking
aircraft.
-Increase all of
the display settings to maximum.
-Take multiple screenshots
during each flight, from several different angles.
-Include at least
part of the engines and wings on the opposite side of the aircraft from
where the screenshot is taken.
-Do not hide any
of the airline titles and the logo on the tail.
-Landing gears should
be all up or all down, not in transit.
-Avoid cutting off
part of an airline's logo or titles.
-If possible, please
crop your screenshots to remove the border surrounding it. |
Screenshot Manager Instructions
If you do not have a quality graphics
program, we recommend downloading Screenshot
Manager, by
FS Design Berlin.
The program takes and saves screenshots automatically without having to
use a commercial program.
1. When you run the program the first time,
you need to set some defaults as follows:
-Set the default image type to either
*.jpg.
-Set the default folder where all screenshots
will be saved.
2. Select your options for “Auto Save”
and “Run on Startup”.
-“Auto-save” automatically saves the image
in the default folder, with the default image type as soon as the user
presses “Print Screen” on the keyboard.
-“Run on Startup” automatically runs the
program when Windows starts up
3. While the program is running, it should
be set to on.
-On (default): The program is active and
automatically pastes the image from the clipboard as soon as the user presses
“Print Screen” on the keyboard.
4. If the “Auto Save” option is turned
off, there is a button called “Save Screenshot”. When you select
this, the screenshot is saved in the default folder with the default image
type.
5. A default name for the screenshot can
be set as well. If the default name is “simairline”, then the first screenshot
is called “simairline1”, the second screenshot is called “simairline2”,
and so on. If the program is restarted, the sequence continues without
restarting. |
