 How do you take a picture in ship sim extreme?

[Rbsanford]

If you have the Steam version, you can hit F12. But if it's Vstep, you'll have to use the walkthrough camera. You could also install a screen capture program like Fraps.

Rbsandford is right, F12, but bear in mind that if using default controls, using F12 will disable/enable fine controls, so best to hit it twice (toggle fine controls off, then back on again, or vice versa).. applies to Steam users.

I know how to use the walk thruogh
but what button do u use to take the picture?

[Rbsanford]

At the bottom right corner there are four squares. The second square has a camera, click on that to activate a pull-down menu. Select the one that looks like footsteps and you will spawn in the bridge. Use WASD or the arrow keys to walk, shift to sprint (doesn't make you go faster very much though), mouse 2 (right button) to look around, V to zoom in (binoculars). Camera mode in the camera menu looks like a regular photo camera. Same thing as walkthrough, I think mouse 1 to take a photo, I haven't used it in a while.

Hi larry. Yes, use the button mentioned before for onboard pictures (see pic1)
For offboard pictures you can use a free version of FRAPS..
Bear in mind that the free version saves only in BMP format, which is quite large.
If you want to post such a picture here you will need to save it to your computer and later resize it to JPEG format.

Here's a link to FRAPS..http://www.fraps.com/

 (p.s.: pic1 was taken with fraps..
