How do I take a screenshot from a VR IL2 recorded mission?

I can play back the mission in IL2 but how do I extract single screenshots?

There is a 'screenshots' folder inside the main game folder. By default the PrtScr/SysRq key takes a screenshot.

but how do I pull a screenshot from a recorded video in IL2?

You can take a screenshot during playback. And by the way, the records aren't 'video' files as such. They record the positions of aircraft etc and you can switch cameras, change the viewpoint etc while they are being played.

I have two copies of the game on my system one set to VR the other max graphics non VR. I fly in VR and if I recorded something and want to do a screenshot or video,  I exit the VR copy, cut/paste the track (from the C:\1C-777\1C Game Studios\IL-2 Sturmovik Battle of Stalingrad\data\tracks directory - the .trk file for that recording and the matching named subfolder) to the non VR copy of the game, then enter that non VR copy of the game, and do my screenshots/videos from there. That way I don't have the split view for each eye that shows on screen when VR is checked and also have max graphics settings, without having to reset the VR checkbox/graphics setting every time.
