Now that I've got your attention......I've got a really, really easy question. How do I take screenshots in IL2: 1946? What folder to they go in automatically?

Thanks for the help. I've been wondering about this for a while now.

Print Screen, PRT SCR key.
They go in root IL2 folder, you can't miss them, they are in TGA format.

Or press alt-prntscrn, then open gimp or paint and then paste.

Thanks. I didn't think it would be too difficult, but it was beyond my comprehension apparently.

Why take an extra step if you don't need to? If you use a program like IL2 Manager you can set that up to convert your images to .jpg if needed.

If all you have is windows paint, then thats the only thing you can do.

There is also a handy little program called King Kong Capture which allows you to save screenshots in different formats. I believe Fraps lets you do screen shots too.

I have always had my il2 use the F12 key for screenshots
There is a mod to make the shots jpg and give them a unique time/date name so that they are not overwritten by new ones.
also if you are using a heavily populated map or large mission, sometimes pressing screenshot will crash the game....so in these cases I pause...use Printscreen...exit to windows and open Paint to save the shot...then go back and carry on
