Anyone else getting this? Occasionally, but I think I've seen it with the Fokker Dr.1 (UIUC) also. It's best the pause the program before taking a screenshot I guess. Maybe the screen capture code should pause the sim first? Dave ___

More on the screen capture/fdm problem. It only happens when the mouse is in flight control mode, indicated by the cursor having a crosshairs shape. If I first right-click to put the mouse into pointer mode, indicated by the standard arrow cursor, then the screen capture has no effect on the

What happens if you: start FG, display the hud, put the mouse into control mode, make a half deflection of the control surfaces, so that none of them hit their end-stops, and then hit F3? Do the controls move back to their centered position or do they end up randomly placed? When I hit F3
