How ot take screenshots?

Unpleasant · Jan 4, 2015

Hi,

I've been trying to take screenshots, using the print screen key, then pasting into paint.

Unfortunately I'm getting shots of my ship 5 minutes before I pressed the print screen key, don't know why.

Help?

I don't know why, but I always hit Alt-F10 w/e

I think that gives a higher res image

Any option to toggle hud and/or cockpit visible/invisible?

And external view by the way? Ah wrong thread. My bad.

When I try Alt F10 nothing happens, are the hi-res shots saved to the same location ?

Unfortunately it is impossible to capture all that beauty without a ship being in the way... Even with Shift+Alt+G... and Alt+F10...

iirc, the hi-res screens have been taken out with release because they caused some bugs.

Hi-res screenshots works only in Solo mode.

Yes, Alt+F10 gives 4k resolution screeny, but only in solo mode - in open you can take screenies with F10 only.

I wish we could get more ladies in the game with your charm and charisma as it makes our universe a more delicate place. I find you to be quite a stunner.
