..and, you can use e.g. these command line options to aim your
"FG screenshot camera":
--fov=degrees Specify field of view angle
...
--lon=degrees Starting longitude (west = -)
--lat=degrees Starting latitude (south = -)
--altitude=value Starting altitude
(in feet unless --units-meters
specified)
--heading=degrees Specify heading (yaw) angle (Psi)
--roll=degrees Specify roll angle (Phi)
--pitch=degrees Specify pitch angle (Theta)
..'fgfs -v -h |less ' for a full list, there's probably a way to
use --prop:[type:]name=value to start FG paused, but I'm running
an improvised desktop box now with a disk from a dead laptop that
used X.org's radeon driver set up for its 256MB 128bit pcie ATI
FireGL V5200, on a much older 128MB 64bit pci ATI Radeon 9250,
which doesn't work with firmware for the V5200.

Scenarios always come in sets of three:
best case, worst case, and just in case.
