Taken screenshots ---
1. While you're in surveyor (trainz) locate the "Print Screen" key on your keyboard. It may be abbreviated to "Prt Scn" or something similar.
2. Press the "Print Screen" key to take as many screen shots as you like.
3. Open a program such as Paint, Word or any other program capable of accepting images.
4. Press the "Ctrl" and "V" keys at the same time to paste the image into your program. In Microsoft Paint, you need to click "Yes" to expand the canvas for the image to fit. Save the file to share with others. Or right-click on the mouse and then paste!
Gerns, these instructions can be found here -- I added a few words:
http://www.ehow.com/how_5141366_screenshot-pc.html
NOW, you need to locate your screenshot folder in the trainz folder -- all screenshots will be inside that shoulder ---(what I have done is right-click on the screenshot folder, click on "create shortcut, then cut and paste it onto the desktop --- much faster to find this folder, etc ...
Now, you need to register with photobucket.com so you upload any screenshot ---- After you have upload screenshot there's a couple of ways to paste those pictures onto here or any place ---
1. --what I do, for me ... I placethe mouse censor over the uploaded picture, right click and click copy -- I come to the blog and paste it!
2. If you want the large Original image (the dimensions of the screenshot which would be the same as your monitor resolution) then you must copy and paste the Image code --- photobucket has instructions on this --
Do you want to change the sky? Please be more specific there!
If you need anymore help let us know!!! :wave:

Good Morning Gerns,
Thanks for sharing your screenshots -- well done!!:wave:
Question -How far are you into your layout?
WHY? --- I find some moon surface pictures, and I am going to make them into Displacement Maps so you can use the same landscape from the Moon in your layout! I will noted it down here when that becomes available at the DLS --- In a few days!!!
