Download Fraps. It doesn't effect performance. And it is free.

MSI afterburner is also nice cause you can set up a fan control profile for your video card at the same time ;)

Paint is the go-to program for print screen screenshots, just tap print screen alt-tab out and open paint and paste into it.

Hell, yeah. MWO's all about 3rd parties. 3rd party VOIP, 3rd party tutorials, 3rd party screenshots. Maybe there's a 3rd party out there that can allow me to assign a function to my mouse wheel too huh? Anyone know of anything?

If you have Steam, you can add MWO to game library and use F12 to take screenshots.
BTW, MWO integrates fine on Steam.

Print Screen just saves the image to your clipboard. Just go into Paint and press ctrl+V. Voila.

Still, I have to agree that fraps is the way to go.

Not sure if it is just me, but Print Screen only work if you do it in windowed mode. You just get a black square if you do it when running Full Screen for some reason.

It's not just you. I get nothing but a black rectangle too. An in-game screenshot button would be great.
