Nice one, mate! We are on TS, so come there when you feel like it. :up:

yay! J8 pic! (and NOT of a burning, exploding, crashed J8 either:up: )

btw, how to take pics in 1946? not sure how to do it yet....

It is a shame I don't have The Aces Expansion, as I get to miss out on all the fun.. Mp and the J8... :damn:

I think the generic screen capture is Prt Scr, it copies one to you clipboard. Best to use something like Fraps.

Edit - Nope that's wrong, it puts it in your program directory, like SH3.

Huh? :doh: Not for me it doesnt! :rotfl:

I didn't think it did but I've just been looking for something and found all these files called grab00** etc.:doh: screwy????

Puts more Grabs in my folder than a $20 Dollar.... nevermind... :oops:

The amazing thing is that I was still alive after the crash... albeit I couldn't bail out... floated there for awhile... and the plane exploded... :arrgh!:

I'm good at running into things.. (a Stuka in this case..)

Rockets missed... Cannons Missed...

I blame it on the LAGG....

I would like to thank myself as these screens were only possible because I was already dead.:dead:

Oh, I appologise for some of the 'decoration' on these planes. There's no accounting for taste.:rotfl:

Nice shots, mate! I need to grab few too the next time. ;)

Btw, I added you to MSN, so come online if you want/have time.
