Help with screenshot

Post by VulcanDriver »

I want to take a side on shot of the nose art I've created on the AlphaSim B-52. I can't get it in shot as the a/c is so big. Can anyone suggest a solution? Is there an add-on I can use for this?

TIA

Thanks

Or you could use the Traffic view board (most Realistic AI). Just taxi the view board to the position you want in Cockpit mode, then switch to spot view and take screen dump.

Thats what I do.

Or for that matter, just taxi any aircraft up to the subject and take off the panel.

John I use a payware program called Active Camera to get shots like these:

It's been a good purchase.

That's the sort of pics I'm after. I'll take a look at active camera.
