dumb, noob, screenshot question...

[gundust]

how do u guys get such beautiful screeshots without all of the sensor icons all over the screen? is there a way to shut them off? is there a particular view mode, or do u cut-up a piece of the shot?
thanx.

To get rid of the hud you press shift and H so you dont see all the station indicators, gravidar etc

cool, thanx much. btw, what is that ship in your sig? it looks hot. i'm new to this game (really), and i don't know all the ships.

A way to get a good screenshot is to target a ship or station you like the look of, then press F1 till the view mode cycles round to View Target.

Then press shift H to lose the HUD, and 1,2,3,4,5,6 & 8 to rotate around it for the perfect angle.

Hint: make sure you move the mouse cursor off the screen before you take the shot!

btw, what is that ship in your [The_Hypo's] sig?

I'm not sure it is an X3 ship, I don't recognise it. Might be

Actually its not an X3 ship (would be damn cool if it was though) linky to some piccy's.

Those r nice pre rendered pics. X3 looks more or less just as good, now they just gotta add that motion blur to the roids.
