No big deal? these screens look absolutely fabulous!

Wow, they are stunning. I particularly like the second picture which is awesome. It almost gives the picture itself a strong 3D feeling.

Quick question, how do you guys make those nice screenshots without having all the 'garbage' on your screen like the chatbox and control indicators? Do you crop it out or is there something else?

You have to Alt-click the box you want to get rid of, then it will turn a more opaque grey. I think then you right click the box to bring up a little menu and you select 'delete info window' or something like that.
(Obviously you would have to do this before you took the screenshot...)

other possibility, record a track, select to hide the interface and snap away

The best way to make screenshots, and movies, is recording tracks.

Tracks are not video files, they are data files that contain our mission configuration and action´s tracking data.

With which missions can be played using the game plays as theater.

Playing tracks you can pause, go forward, go backward, slow-motion, change the camera, the field of view and position of them, switch planes ... and hide windows and icons.

To make a track file just click record in the mission options and make a record track file, "replay.trk" for example, to use has default replay´s vault.

Then if the mission was worth to replay go to "Main menu / Extras / Play tracks" to play the last mission´s replay file.

Once is loaded there will be options of "Change views", "Hide message windows" and "Hide icons", just tick them and click start (if the screen is showing blue artifacts press F1, its a bug).

Using this way you dont have to deal with changes in info windows configurations, saving your current one, and you have no limits to make beautiful screenshots.
