The original Descent 2 and also Descent 3 would output sceenshots as a file saved in the program's folder.

Can D2X-XL be set to do that? Currently, I have to pause, output the capture buffer to a program, and then return to the game in order to get multiple screenshots saved.

Corrected link to Diedel's Descent site

Diedel,
In the manual section of your website, you state "Escort robot hotkeys: Dunno."

Wouldn't the "Escort robot" be the Guidebot? and this would turn on/off the hot-keys for controlling it?
