I use IrfanView for ALL screenshots in EVERY app.
Open IrfanView, hit the 'C' key then set it up the way you want it and your ready to go all the time.

Yes, it's free. A third party app for all sorts of things. It's known as the 'Swiss Knife' of all utilities.
It's a pretty small little utility but very powerful in nature. Most everyone that manipulates pic files uses it.

Don't forget the addons, too.

Press the "Print Screen" button on your keyboard. You can find the screen shots in your main MSTS folder - which is where they're stored by default.

Hello Dude
Use Your Print screen button on Your Key board; Mine reads PrtScn. You will find them in Your MSTS main folder and they will read as "scrgrb0". You can open them with Ifran View
and save them as a "jpeg" image.

Cheers Tony :blush2:
