Capturing Screenshots in Trainz

[JohnMac]

I was inspired by the photo's in the Competition thread. To try and emulate same. However using the "PrtScn" key does nothing just a large black square and along side the Windows logo screen! It works fine in any ordinary screen. My question is there a third party app that would work in Trainz and poss could produce multiple pictures. I am running Windows 7 (64bit). There are several apps for this in Microsoft FSX. JohnMac

Did you check your screenshot folder after pressing that "print screen" button?

You can find it here:
[folder in which you installed trainz] \UserData\screenshots

Oknotsen thanks for that, I feel a bit foolish, but I never read anything saying how or where they would be saved. Also it is possible to save mutiple pictures so that is really great. Thanks again JohnMac

John,

There are not stupid questions, only (sometimes) stupid answers .
If everyone would know everything, I would be without a job. Serious, I teach people how to use software for a living.

Just keep hitting that "print screen" button, easy as that .

Every screenshot will be saved as [your username]_[date in yyyymmdd format]_[number].jpg.
Example:
oknotsen_20140810_0002.jpg was made yesterday in my game and it was the 3rd screenshot that day (0000 would be 1st, 0001 would be 2nd, 0002 is the 3rd).

Happy shooting!
