How do I take a screen shot? Can't seem to find it anywhere in the manual.

In the demo, it's the Print Screen button. I don't see any reason why they
would change it in the release version. :-)

Gonna correct myself here and say 'key' instead of 'button'. Sheesh...you'd
think 6 hours of sleep would be enough to think straight. :)

Now to pose a question: Does anyone know why Papy chose to save screenies in
the targa format instead of bitmap? You'd think the latter would be a more
accessible format for folks out there, and thus preferred.

   Yer like most Blondes...your Nintendo roots are showing....:)
regarding tga...at least it's a recognizable format, you should have been
around when they used a totally non-standard format.  You had to have a
converter just to view them.  Let alone any file sharing.

Damn skippy, I'm a old school Nintendo freak (just a brown haired one ;).

The mid to late 80's were great times to be a kid with a 'Tendo, as I look
back. (remember Days of Thunder for the NES? Never got to play Bill Elliot's
game, tho.) I must've had two or three of those old grey machines
around...and every one of them got taken apart eventually. I can still
remember the Atari I assimilated, too. The "Borg" had nothing on me when I
was youngin'. :-D

Now, to back on topic...ahem..

I /still/ have to use a converter to view those stinkin' targa files! In my
book, if Windows doesn't support a picture format out of the box, then it
isn't a standard format (but I do recall Win95 semi-supporting tga in this
Picture Viewer POS app). In fact, the only time I ever need to view them is
when I want to mess around with Papy screenies. But, yeah, I could just
imagine how pissed I would've been with a what-the-hell-is-that file format.
:-)

Either I'm behind the times or Papy is (or is that was?), and I'm not sure
about either of 'em. :P I got on the scene around when NASCAR Racing 2 was
the shiznit and all that, yo (Yao!). But from what Dale has said about the
phone bills into Hawaii, I see that I was much better off waiting. I think
by comparison, the *** druggies habits costed less than the ***
racers of the time. ;)

But from what Dale
   How right you are...  I'm just waiting for the day when some thief is
arrested and he blames his life of crime on needing faster computer stuff
for sim-racing.  :)  (it could happen....)

ps,   a couple of good viewers are ACDC(can't remember but I think they
spell it A See Dee See or something different like that)  and ifran view.  
I'm sure there are plenty of other freeware viewers too that only cost the
price of your time with a dload.
have fun
