Default How to retrieve a screen shot in G3?

OK, so to take a screen shot (photo) in G3 you hit the tab key.... but where does the file go and how in the world do you look at it after?? I have looked everywhere on the realflight site and on the software itself and I cant see what to do...

HelP!

[link=http://www.fraps.com/download.php]Fraps[/link] is a great program for taking screen shots and small video's of your sim in action.

But there allready is a snapshot function on G3, you press the tab key while flying - what I need to know is how do you view the snapshot you took after?

They are located in the folder where you installed RealFlight (usually C:\Program Files\RealFlightG3\).

Yes but what do you use to view the file? It is not saved as a bitmap. jpg or other standard file any of my software can read. I can find the file but nothing seems to open it!

ANyhow, the Fraps seems to work great. Thanks for that tip...

It is saved as a .jpg. Also, the last screenshot you took is saved as "LastScreenShot.bmp." Internet Explorer will open either one.
