I am new to the game and found this web site by accident, but love it. I have created a FI Mustang skin (overdone I know) and want to post it, but don't know how to take a screen shot in the game (Pacific Fighters). I am sure it is terribly easy, I probably just missed in the manual. Any help would be great.
Thanks,
Noter

Photoshop does recognise .tga
You could also use IL2 Manager. It is a 3rd party utility to help manage IL2/FB/PF
There is a copy here http://www.pigyn.com/genosse/IL2Manager/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
It has an option within it, that when you open IL2 Manager, it scans the root of yout FB install and automatically creates a jpg for every tga file it finds. Takes the legwork out of editing them all in Photoshop.

welcome noter!
...
and don't let .tga scare you,
it's just another way to make a picture.
Photoshop WILL open it,
like Gurb said,
and it should be able to convert it,
like PSP does,
through File/SaveAs ...
into a .jpg.
If ANY of this doesn't make sense or is confusing
feel free to ask again.
