Has anyone else had this happen? I will post a picture of it in the morning. I love the feature of being able to take a screen shot.

Yeah, I've done this as well. It was pretty tense while capturing hoping that no OpFor would come to give me grief! I didn't bother trying to take off though, I just bailed

More importantly though - how do you take screenshots?! Is it an actual game feature like Battlefield Bad Company/Wipeout, or are you just hooked up to a PC?

It is a PS3 only feature (game feature). Hit the ps button scroll over to the camera icon and scroll down to take screenshot.

Edited my first post.

OMFG Is it a firmware feature then? Maybe 3.00 did do something right...

I'm gonna have to investigate this later. Uber-kudos to Sony if it's now a general feature. It was sweet in the other games I previously mentioned...

And kudos to trk29 for educating me

It's been in there for a while, but like custom soundtracks, it is up for the dev to use. IL-2 is the first that I can think of to use XMB screenshots, it has been there even in the demo.

Have done, always land gingerly with a Spit or 109 because I'm aware of the narrow track and so try to be gentle. But get caught out thinking "big ol' Stuky here can take a rough touchdown" ... crack

And that's why I fly an IL whenever I'm playing CTA! You can pretty much drop on to the runway and survive...and for you guys talking about taking off in the Me 163, Axe99 and I spent a 10 minute match trying that. Of course, the majority of it was us trying to land it near the Sicily coast. I nearly took off (Getting it up to 56mph was an achievement for me) but of course it crashed.
