Blitzen Posted September 3 Posted September 3 I used to be able to take screenshots in the non VR install ( never in VR of course,) but now can't seem to be able toget screenshots in either version of the sim even using FRAPS. Have I missed something- is it still possible? Thanks!
Dawson Posted September 9 Posted September 9 Screenshot controls in game still work in Win10. What in game key do you have bound to take a screenshot? What is your "Full Screen" setting under the game's video option? Choices are; On, Pseudo, Off.
Blitzen Posted September 9 Author Posted September 9 In VR as well? For years before VR Beta it worked with Prtscreen .I'll check fullscreen settings though-thanks!
Dawson Posted September 9 Posted September 9 Just PrtScrn became a problem for me with FullScreen=yes. You can add a modifier like Ctrl+PrtScrn or use Pseudo FullScreen. I think something changed in Windows. I use Pseudo and PrtScrn. I wrote a post about this on ATAG a while back.
Blitzen Posted September 9 Author Posted September 9 I'm not familiar with Pseudo FullScreen? Can you fill me in?

To Windows it appears that the program is running as a Windowed program but there is no title bar or border so it looks like a full screen to the user.
Volant_Eagle Posted September 10 Posted September 10 I'm guessing it's an issue with what you have it bound to in windows like Dawson said. Screenshots work just fine for me in either Full Screen or Pseudo with windows 10. My current keybind is windows key + Print Screen, which might be why it still works in fullscreen. I do suggest you try Pseudo though. I switched to that a few months ago. Same visual experience but far faster to minimize the game to system tray and bring it up again. Very important from time to time since I run single screen. My system has also always had a bug where it randomly minimizes the game to the tray once after about 15 to 30 mins of play. With full-screen I'd be down about 10 or more seconds whenever that happened, which was easily fatal if in a fight or landing. In Pseudo I have the game window back up in 2 or 3 seconds. Also check if something else got assigned to the print screen key that could be interfering. If you use TrackIR or have any other peripheries up while playing, then be sure to check the keybinds in those too. Steam overlay keybinds could do it too but hopefully you have that turned off already.
Blitzen Posted September 10 Author Posted September 10 Another thing that is probably effecting something: in VR my monitor is black ,except for screen messages during entire game play as are the attempted screenshots. I believe , looking at my config settings I have been playing full screen.
Dawson Posted September 10 Posted September 10 VR may be entirely different. My comments are for 2D in the stable version. Try taking a screenshot in the stable version. For testing purposing use a key combination other than PrtScrn.
