I have a vague memory that I spotted a command to take a screen shot but cannot find it - can anyone please tell me where it is to be found? Also which folder contains the snapped "screen shots" - I can see nothing likely in the FSX folder?

Print screen will send the picture to the clipboard, you will then have to paste it into MS paint to save the picture. A better way is to use GrabClipSave. It allows you to take a screen shot and send it to whatever folder you want. It's free.

Your press V and the photos go to My Pictures/FSX something or other

Thanks guys for both suggestions, the "v" rang an immediate bell and I hadn't thought of looking on the clipboard. I'll also have another look for the file in FSX you mentioned.

The pictures taken by pressing the letter "V" are sent to Awards.

No Viper and Angel are both wrong. The "V" pics are saved in My Documents/My Pictures/FSX pictures.

Add yourself to the list.

The screenshots taken within FSX with the V key are located in:

Windows Vista or 7: %userprofile%\Pictures\Flight Simulator X Files
Windows XP: %userprofile%\My Pictures\Flight Simulator X Files
