How do I take screenshots in FS2 so that I can post up some pics and makes some graphics with them?

Print Screen key on the keyboard, also known as PRT SCR, and many other mutations - will save a screen0001.tga file in the FS2 directory. Each time you reload the whole game, the count will start from 1, so watch out for overwriting screenshots you've already taken...

Tip - if you're going to "make pictures", get Paint Shop Pro or something similar and run a Blur to get rid of the "pixelly" look. Make sure to take the screenshot from the rear, left, or right  views so the HUD won't be in the way. You'll have to go over the "Left/Back/Right View" green text with black, however. And finally, don't take them while the stars are blurred.

Well, sometimes star blur works well.  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)
