Maybe I am doing something wrong.

I pressed print screen button to make a screen shot and nothing happened or it
went somewhere I have no glue to look.  Should I get a dialog or save box after pressing
print screen?

Thanks again.

If you are using FSX, there's no need to use the "Print Screen" button. There's a specific hotkey JUST to take screenshots, which defaults to "V", and will create a .BMP screenshot named with current date/time, under your "My Pictures\Flight Simulator X" folder.

If you are using FS9, the "Print Screen" doesn't SAVE a file, it will just COPY the whole screen into the Clipboard, so you can then open any Paint program (even default Windows Paint) and then PASTE it into a new file, that you can name and save as you wish.

Also, if you are using FS9, and you are using Windowed mode, it's best to use ALT+Print Screen, because this will copy just the current active Window, compared to Print Screen, which will copy the whole screen, including your desktop, if FS9 is running in a Window.

Mr. Shutte,

That is a really good picture. I like it very much.
