I have been using ScreenHunter Free to take screenshots for several years. After moving IL-2 from WIN XP to WIN 8.1, I now have an issue.

When I attempt to take a screenshot from my IL-2 gameplay, the only shots I get are from the IL-2 start-up screen (see screenshot).

This is very strange. I am already in the game flying my plane, but when I take a screenshot, it comes back showing the start-up screen at 10%.

Any ideas of what may be causing this?

I don't have neither Win 8.1 nor ScreenHunter Free, but have that kind of issue when taking multiple screenshots in a row. Alt+Tabbing again from Paint (where usually I paste my images) to game and repeating the capture always solve the issue.

I think the ScreenHunter Free could also be incompatible with Win 8.1 or require an update.

At any rate, I would suggest instead to use the basic commands to capture screen, that's to say Ctrl+PrtScrn (to get the whole screen) or Alt+PrtScrn (to get only active window), like the good old Ctrl+C/Ctrl+V to copy and paste text, they work in any environment.

Try just the printscreen key. IL2 supports that.
