Tools for taking screenshots and observing AI

Post by kungfuman »

Hi folks,

I'm sure there is some sort of download "out there" where you install a folder in your Aircraft folder, and you can select a special "aircraft" that has no texture (or something), so you can take lovely screenshots and follow your AI around looking for that photo opportunity. Anyone know what I'm on about?

Or maybe you do it differently?

Please share your tips :wink:


Cheers,

Dan

I believe all of those proggys come with installation instructions. Did you find those?

Hi folks,

Does anyone know the name of the screen shot software as the new AVSIM library doesn't recognise those file links.

Thanks

If you want to go down the payware route! there is always Supertrafficboard, it allows you to force your ai traffic to leave and to arrive, it tells you whats due in and whats due out and lets you follow your ai for those special photo moments!
