When you do Print Screen to save a picture of the activity, where are these files stored? I've looked in the manual and my hard drive but nothing obvious, to me, stands out. I found where the activity save files are located, but not the screen shots.
Thanks.

They're saved as PCX files in the main MSTS folder.
He is talking about Open Rails not MSTS, which is why this is in the Open Rails forum not the MSTS forum. Mine are in the My Documents /My Pictures/Open Rails. I did not change any settings so I would look there.

Yes. Thank you. That's where they are.

That's now added to the manual. Thanks for pointing it out.
I must be doing something wrong. after taking some screenshots, I checked my pictures folder. There was no OR directory. So I created one and tried again. There were no pictures.
If you are running full screen and using certain OS/graphics driver combinations, the Print Screen shortcut bypasses the application and goes straight to the driver, which does its own thing. You might have some more luck holding down a modifier key while pressing Print Screen, e.g. Alt-Print Screen.

They may being copied to the clipboard, after a screen shot try opening up a paint program, with any kind of luck the paste instruction will be highlighted indicating an image ready to be pasted to the main screen. At least one of my systems does that when OR takes a screen shot.

After using OR a bit more I have been able to take screenshots. This issue is that it is not consistent. Sometimes when I press the print screen I immediately get the notification that the picture was saved and indeed it is in the proper place. Sometimes absolutely nothing happens. I can press the key over and over and nothing happens.
I get nothing when I try to take ingame photos. No or picture file has been created anywhere in my system.......no screen shots from or can be found ang where.....fraps works fine though
