screenshot question

[unholycowgod 0]

I have been trying to get some screenshots of my transit map ingame but anytime you pull up the camera tool all the menus disappear so you can capture the city. so how do i get a capture of the menu? any help on this at all would be appreciated.

I've never tried this before so I'm not sure if this will work but have you tried using the Print Screen key on your keyboard which will take a screenshot of whatever is on the screen.

i haven't tried it in game but just running windows it doesn't do anything. i could do something similar with paint shop pro but it would be a huge tax on my system to run that plus the game.

I would just try hitting print screen, alt-tabbing out then pasting (control-v) it in a imaging program like ms paint or irfanview. There small enough not to take to many resources. I know of screenshot programs existing but never used them. Hope this helps.

That is weird, because when I take a screenshot, the menu WON'T go off! These games are weird!!

to take a screen shot of graphs and charts press and hold CTRL-SHIFT-S on the key board and the camera square will come up.  then you can resize it with space bar and take pics of menus, charts, graphs, and route querys.  hope that helps.

 

took me a while to figure out too.
