    They get saved to the default install directory.
    C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Local\BeamNG\BeamNG.drive

    They're saved as .png by default.
    You can change the default by opening this file:
    C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Local\BeamNG\BeamNG.drive\scripts\client\prefs.cs

    Change PNG to JPG or such. Not sure which extensions are supported.
    $pref::Video::screenShotFormat = "PNG";

    Normally ctrl+p for a normal screenshot. Try pressing alt+p, that would normally give a super high res screenshot, may be worth a try.
