Problem with IL2 (Flight Sim) Screenshots

(1/1)

MilesOhToole:
Hello everyone.  I fly online with a group of gentlemen (and a lady) with IL2:  1946.  We fly our missions and, once the mission is over, have to provide screenshots.  If this is confusing to you, check out our mission reports page and you'll see what I'm talking about. 

The game has a built-in recorder that I use to replay the mission and take shots at different angles.  Also, the game, itself, has a built-in screenshot taker that keeps all the screenshots in the root directory.  I prefer to use screenshot captor, though, because I can have it put all my shots in a folder of my choice.

The problem is that lately, a number of screenshots have been corrupted (possibly).  I'll take a screenshot of myself blowing the wing off an enemy plane, but when I exit the game and look at the shots, some of them show an empty sky and the ground...no planes at all in the air.

I'm not sure if this is a problem with screenshot captor or a problem with the game, itself.  One question, though.  Do you think I should pause the mission track, take the screenshot, and wait a few seconds before un-pausing the game?

Any suggestions?

EDIT:  I have v2.32.02 of Screenshot Captor.

jgpaiva:
From your description, i'd say that SC is taking some time to take the screencapture, maybe pausing the game and taking the shots would help.

Actually, i got surprised that you could take any shots at all, i thought that was not possible in games ;)

mouser:
This is a known problem with game capturing, whose solution is probably to use a different program for such things.
See these for suggestions:

MilesOhToole:
Ah.  Thanks, mouser.  I really love Screenshot Captor, nonetheless. 

mouser:
Thanks for saying that Miles.
