High-res screenshot change?

So on Tuesday I was, or I thought I was, playing with the new camera tools and taking a bunch of pretty pictures of my Gunship in front of various things. Good times (although really, give the camera tools some default keybinds, goodness me).

When I was done though, I didn't have any new screenshots in my folder.

Did the keybind for high-res screenshots change? (I couldn't find anything in the keymaps) Is the feature gone? Are the screenshots just put elsewhere now? Am I just massively inept?

Did anyone figure this out?

I can't get high res shots. All I get is low res. Alt F10 generates a normal shot, not high res, as does F10.

:( Thanks man, I was in PG.

edit: swapped to solo, Alt F10 still gives me a low res. Maybe being in dock, it doesn't work? I'll try out in space somewhere.

Nope, nothing I do will give me a high res shot. I've tried in solo, both docked and in space. Alt F10 does a regular shot. FWIW, I'm in 5760x1080, borderless window. High res shots worked in 2.2.03, but not now.

I use alt-shift-F10 and it still works for me. When in the free camera, the camera spins around like crazy for a few seconds which is amusing.

Maybe the shift isn't needed. I've just always done it that way. It works anyway.

That doesn't work for me either. Thanks though.

One thing I've noticed is that right alt doesnt seem to work for snapping a high res screenshot... which sucks because sometimes I want to snap a picture with the new camera of my ship firing all its weapons, so i have to like use my mouth to hold an object to hold down the left alt key while i use one hand to hit F10 and the other to use my mouse to fire my weapons...praying that the screenshot looks good cause I can't snap it when I want so I have to then check the folder and see if it came out good.

I'd really like Frontier to just put in an option in the binding (unless im seriously somehow missing it?) to take a screenshot with a single keybinding thats high res instead of normal res.

Well, it appears the servers just took a dump, but it's Friday night, so I guess I should have expected that.

I will try LEFT Alt - F10 when they come back.

I've also noticed that you have to use the LEFT Ctrl key for combinations like Ctrl+F to show the FPS. That's a pain for me to reach, since my keyboard is to my far left, so that I can use my joystick.

[update]
I can confirm that the Right Alt key is ignored when trying to make a high res screen shot. That's nothing new. It's a pain for exactly the same reason above, but it's a little easier to reach, since the Left Alt key is a little closer.

Check that you don't have nVidia GeForce running as Alt+F10 is a shortcut in that also and will block it getting through to Elite. Either close GeForce Experience, or change the shortcut in there to something else.
