Who do you veiw a screenshot?

The screenshots are stored in the same directory as the RealFlight executable [usually C:\Program Files\RealFlightG3]. They are written out in .jpg format so you should be able to open them with your web browser.

Travis:

Is there a way within G3 to save a screenshot of the recorded video one makes? Is there a way to convert the .rec files to .avi, .jpg, .mpeg or other formats?

Have been using print screen, but the files are huge.

Thanks!

If you want just a screenshot, you can use the tab key just like any other time. The screenshot will be saved as a .jpg in the same directory you installed G3. The file size is pretty small, but a little bit of quality is lost due to .jpeg compression. If you want to shrink them down, Microsoft provides an Image Resizer (http://download.microsoft.com/download/whistler/Install/2/WXP/EN-US/ImageResizerPowertoySetup.exe) tool that is very handy.

This has become an often requested feature.

Right now I can only think of two ways to do what you'd like. You can use a screen capture utility like fraps (http://www.fraps.com), or you can use a digital video camera. If you have a video capture card, you can record exactly what is seen on screen. If you don't, you'll just point the camera at your computer monitor and record.
