General screenshot thread

Great pics ...

Now ... im going to disgrace myself here ... but .. how does one go about uploading a piccy on here ?

I must admit ... Im a bit of a " just jump in and have a go / trial and error " person, rather, than read all the posts ... and Im sure the answer is out there ... but ... i just cant seem to find it in words of 2 syllables that will get it through my head.

If I take a happy snap piccy in game , and its saved to my folder ... what do I need to do with it to be able to post it ?

Any advice will be greatly appreciated ... Please imagine you are explaining it to Neanderthal man ... well maybe Cro Magnon man .

Considering that the Neanderthals way of communication was grunts, squeals and hitting things with clubs, I will try to be a little more eloquent

First off, the F10 key is used to take screenshots in game. These are then stored here:

C:\Users\<username>\Pictures\Frontier Developments.

To upload them, I use a picture hosting site called TinyPic. Select the file you wish to upload, select the "message board (640x480)" option for resizing and then upload it.

Once the picture has uploaded, go to the "grab your code box" on the left hand side, find the "IMG Code for Forums & Message Boards" box, copy the code inside onto the forum and boom your picture should appear here

No worries. Drop me a message if you need a hand with anything.

I'm just uploading my Tutorial Mission 3 video - the first 'combat' one.

I'm planning to upload videos of all the tutorials to YT, so peeps can see they are worth doing for beginners.

Having said that, I do think they could be better. I think they would be better termed "Practice Missions" at the current stage, as there have been a couple of times when I have not known what to do next (not in this mission though).

Excellent advice Commander.
