While FS is running or paused press Print Screen/SysRq.
Open your paint program and under 'Edit', click on 'Paste'. Save it as a .jpeg.
Use an image editor to resize it if neccesary for posting on the board.
That's all there is to it.

A second way is to download a program called "Fs Screen". The way that works is you press the Print Screen button, and the program saves it for you. All you need is the program. No other add on required.

While in MS9 (or 2002), use the top Prt SCR key while in flight or doing whatever it is you want to 'capture' on your monitor screen. This will only allow you to 'capture' one image from the monitor at a time. You will have to pause the sim or remember to go to MS Paint (accessory tools) and select Edit, then 'paste' prior to exiting MS9 or you will loose the image.
This can be a pain, but the price is right. You could also purchase Active Camera or like add-on. I have been using Flight Sim Keeper, which allows me to simply click as many pictures as I want (hard drive can hold).

Chris, I forgot to add that I believe you can only save the image in the paint program as a bitmap image. You'll have to have an image editor of some sort to import it and convert the file to .jpeg to be able to post it in the Cooler.

No you can save it as a JPG file in paint. In the save as window, it says Bitmap, but if you select that option it should open up a list for a bunch of different types such as jpg, gif, ect.
