With IL-2 I found to take screenshots you have to disable EULA temprarily using regedit and have apllication installed on C drive Not in a programs folder.Do you have to do the same thing to take screenshots in YAP2?

Nope. Thirdwire games all allow you to just push the Screenprint key. You can find your handiwork in the Screenshots folder.

I forgot to mention I'm running under Vista. Still not working.I reentered Print Screen command on YAP controls just in case system was not recognizing key-board input correctly. Screenshots still don't record regardless of EULA User Account Control setting.

I think you have to make the program (flightsim.exe) have administrative rights. Any vista users out there that can confirm this or have another solution?

OK. So regarding "make the program (flightsim.exe) have administrative rights" I tried to figure that out and ended up selecting program and "run as dministrator". Screenshot feature works, BUT all my custom controls are ineffective when running this way.If I reset all controls while running in that mode they work but are all gone next time around.

I suspect that's caused by some some odd Vista quirk. (Vista takes this administraor stuff all tooooo seriuosly.)But that makes no sense since all YAP2 "knows" is that it's runnning and "YAP controls" are selected.

STOP THE PRESSES!!
When looking at the contents of Screenshots folder I noticed a "Compatibilty Files" tab. Clicked on that and saw all screenshots attempted regardless of mode I was in.
I guess that tab is the Vista quirk I suspected.
Thanks again for your responses.
