MSFS: Taking Screenshots Guide

The next-generation of Microsoft Flight Simulator has a beautiful world combined with satellite imagery as well as jaw-dropping weather and cloud rendering. It could easily consider being the best-looking video game to date. While playing with the MSFS in-game weather and time settings during a flying session, it can produce some beautiful views. Also, with the right terrain behind your plane, the only thing you are missing is moving the camera to the right angle. The new MSFS offers Drone Camera mode for photographing and exploring scenery outside the aircraft.

When activating Drone Camera mode, you will lose control of your aircraft, so make sure your aircraft is controlled by autopilot or AI assistance. There is also Active Pause available to pause aircraft movement by pressing the PAUSE key. To toggle the Done Camera, press the INSERT key on your keyboard, just right of the Backspace key. Another way to activate Drone Camera is via the top tool menu. Below are the controls and keybindings to operate the Drone Camera. All these keybindings can be adjusted in the Controls menu.

Screenshots can be taken by pressing WINDOWS + PRINT SCREEN keys, this will save the screenshots automatically to the Windows default Screenshots folder.
