I tried calling sg_glDumpWindow directly and so far I have not experienced the white out but I am noticing at times what looks like smearing and other corruption but the flightgear display does not show any of these problems.
My knowledge of gl is limited but it confuses me that flightgear looks correct but the screen shot saved by sg_glDumpWindow does not. Are they not from the same buffer? You can find an example screen shot with corruption at http://pages.cpsc.ucalgary.ca/~carrolls/ppm/fgfs-screen---00075.jpeg Seamus On Wed, 25 Feb 2004, Martin Spott wrote: > Seamus Thomas Carroll wrote: > > > I am trying to save images from flightgear to a file or database without > > explicitly using the gui.
