Possibly a silly question - highlander_262 - 10.08.2008
Hi everyone. Been taking a few screenshots for a skin i want to upload but I cant find them in my IL2 1946 folder. Anyone know where they go? And is Prt Scrn the key I should be using?
Cheers

yup, print screen it is ....
they should be in game root ( game main directory) named as : grab0000.tga ... grab0001.tga....
cheers

Cant see them in the main IL2 folder. Is it possible to alter the path they take?

How do you take screenshots any way?
- RAF_Magpie - 10.08.2008
Or, keep it the old fashioned way.
Get your screenshot by pressing Print Screen (PrtSc), then go to MS Paint, click on edit and then past OR use Ctrl + V. Then save.
There be your screenshot.
Other option is to use a tool such as FRAPS and that saves the image pre-done in .bmp or .jpg in a destination directory.

Thanks Magpie, FRAPS works a treat. Will be uploading a screenshot shortly.
Cheers :wink:

as in taking a picture with your camera or something built in the game? I'd like too know because i have a TBM-3 and avenger MK.III waiting to be posted remember right? And what about that whole Mac's Remove White plugin tool?
- highlander_262 - 11.08.2008
If you tap the print screen key while in game ( preferably external view) then a snap shot of the screen is taken. It should be in the iL2 root folder but apparently mine wasn't. as magpie suggested FRAPS is a great tool for managing these screenshots. Type into Google and follow the first link.
Mac's remove white is a handy tool to make any void into a basic template and starting point. It removes all the white from the void and leaves you with a transparent layer with all the detail on. I use it in Photoshop, I dont know if it is compatible with any other program. After using it you insert a white background below that layer and then you can see it properly to begin working on it.
