The solution is pretty easy if you follow these steps.

1.- Hit "S" key to rotate view until you have a good one, use arrows keys to position the point of view as desired.

2.- Hit "V" key that is the default Flight Simulator X key to capture images.

3.- Minimize FSX and go to folder "My Pictures\Flight Simulator X Files".




4.- Sort folder by date and "Right Click" on the latest BMP file, then select open with... MS Paint


5.- Once the BMP image is opened on MS Paint, just choose to save it as JPG format.


6.- Go to your favorite website and upload it, for this tutorial I'm uploading it to SurClaro.com FSX Screenshots section that also has a FSX screenshots contest :)

Click on the "Browse..." button, go to My Pictures\Flight Simulator X files folder and select your JPG screenshot, enter a good Media Name and Description, and Click Upload button.



Wait until the admin approve your contribution and go to Flight Simulator X screenshots section to view it published.
