Hello VATSIM players,

Hello everybody,

 

I've tried using CTRL- for the X-plane screenshots. There is one problem, were can I find my pictures I have made? Pasting in paint doesn't work .

Look in the root directory for xplane. Sort by date, descending, and you'll find your screenshots, titled screenshot_xx.png (where xx is the sequence number).

And remember it's ctrl dash dot (ctrl-.) not just ctrl dash (ctrl-)

Did I miss something? It's "control period".

Control period works for me. IDK about control dash period, never tried it.

I'm using the standard notation that's used in all of the menus in Xplane. The hyphen is not typed, it's there as a delimiter between the keystrokes, sorry about that.
