I'd like to start putting up some AARs on here so I reviewed some from the other boards to get a feel of what they should look like. I learned that a good AAR will have screenshots. So how do I take one in FPG? Thanks!

FlipTrac,

You can do this a couple of ways:
1. Hit "Print Screen", open MS paint and do a paste. You need to paste each capture to not lose the image.
2. Have a paint program like Paint Shop Pro that has a capture function.
3. Search the net for a screen capture program, I believe FRAPS can grab screens and I use a program called HyperSnap DX Pro.

Let me know if you need more info.

Of all the years of computing, only now do I learn how to use the 'Print Scrn' function! Thanks, that'll do!

the easiest and best way is to use "Howies Quickscreen Capture".(just google for it)It will just take screenshots nothing more,but they are in Jpeg format.once on your machine just open and minimise, then to take a screenshot hit the userdefined hot key!I personaly think its better than frapps as it doesnt slow your PC down.Hope this helps.
