Is there a way to get better in-sim pictures? Because all mine turn out kinda pixelated and distorted.

Like they all look like this:



Help? Please?

Set your picture size to large, too. Also, if you can, set smooth edges to "more" (but turn them back to "less" when not taking pics, it tends to kill performance) Smiley

and if you want them really good, you might want to try printscreen - but then you must have some kind of picture editing programme (like photoshop). besides - you have to lay down the game (though not quit it) to save the image.

I usually play with everything set on high, and the largest quality of picture (moatly because I tend to take a lot of photos while I'm playing). it's not the best, of course, but it'll do for me - since my game is very slow from all the dl's I've put in it, and to do the printscreen thing takes ages for my PC to get through...

Actually, there's some outside programs (Irfranview, Fraps, etc.) that's the same as Print Screen, except every time you press your "hot key" they save the pictures automatically into a folder and you don't have to tab out of the game.

Which one do you have? I use Gadwin (if that's what it's called), and that one saves with the 'prt scrn'-button, although I could always change that to saving with the C-button.
And you could probably just do a google search on them, and see which one looks best to you. Smiley

http://www.gadwin.com - that's the one I go for Smiley You can choose which area you want to capture, in much the same way that the crop tool in Photoshop works, so by the time you do open that up it's just to resize, maybe tart up Smiley
