MSTS screen shots

[Anonymous]

If you want to save a "picture" of an image when running MS Train Simulator, try this:

Before running MSTS, open MS Paint (Start > Programs > Accessories > Paint).

Then run MSTS. If you want a screen shot of a particular scene, hit the "print screen" key on your keyboard. Since you have MS Paint already opened, hit Alt+Tab to switch any open programs to MS Paint. When in MS Paint, go to Edit > Paste and the image from MSTS should be pasted into MS Paint.

Before you e-mail this image to anyone, remember that the image pasted into MS Paint is a bitmap image and quite large (maybe around 1MB). The image should be imported into a photo-editing program and compressed and sent as a JPEG image.

It is simpler to hit Print Screen to save your image, than when you are done with the game exit it and paste it into MS Paint. You can save it as a .jpeg in paint as well.
