Hi Everyone, Yesterday I was really getting into a F4 campaign when I felt the need (not for Speed) but to print the Map with waypoints and icons. If there is a way to print the map in "battle progress" please let me in on it.

Thanks

I use a screen capture program, import the graphic into Photoshop and then resize it to fit the printed page.

I^ve screen captured the F4 map of central korea(from the norther DPRK airbases to the FLOT in the most difficult F4 campaign) with political and air fields and names/bullseye active. Ive screen captured 8 times the F4 map and edited in paintshop pro to print out on 4! DIN A4 sheets. Yes i printed it out and it makes navigating a lot easier... I could also use transparent paper to draw my flight plan, enemy caps, air defences on it rather than printing a new map everytime

if anyone^s interested, contact me

Striker!

Start Falcon4 with the option -screen. This enables You to take screenshots in the interface just the way You do inflight. You get prompted to name each shot as You take it. This way You can name them according to package, target etc. Great for planning and making briefings. The shots are placed in the main Falcon dir and can be opened with Photoshop, PaintShopPro etc. Hope this helps!

kinggeorge,

I am interested in the procedures you use to make screen captures and print out maps, etc. Can you describe in detail, step-by-step, how you do this?

Thanks,

Phantom

It can be as simple as viewing a map in mission planner, pressing the print screen key, then ALT TAB to desktop and Edit/paste into Paint. Crop/resize to taste and print.
