I'd assumed i'd just hit print screen, paste in paint and hey presto. I get a black rectangle. Hmm

Any ideas how to take screenshots?

F12. Images are saved under MWO\USER\ScreenShots.

PrtScrn works for me, and they go to the folder Modo mentions.

You can also create a shortcut on the desktop to point that that folder if you use it often....

Well it is my opinion that the Windows screen shot utility is cr@p, I use Greenshot screenshot utility as it has many more options and works for everything w/no problems ever.

And as Makiaveli said set your screenshots to go to a file of your choice regardless of which screenshot utility you use.

If you want to copy and paste, hit alt + enter to go out of full screen. You can then print screen and paste into something like paint.

If you want to remove the hud, hit right shift + F11 on an American-style qwerty keyboard.

Tried doing that last night and it did not work. :unsure:
When using a victor I can aim very far below (arm weapons only) when enemies below me ie. alpine peaks im on the hill shooting down, anyway the hud gets in the way of aiming so wanted to turn it off and yeah, did not work. Should be a key binding imo as a toggle on/off HUD display.

Anyhow, a bit off topic sorry. Going to mess with it some more tonight and if still doesn't work will make 'feature suggestion' post.
