Aerofly pro deluxe

[Atwood, Mark]

Well Bob...You weren't kidding about needing a honkin' PC.  I've tried 3
different video capture software programs and while FRAPS was the
best...it's indeed like flying in slow motion.   

It would be nice if there was a way to convert the recorded flight into
a wmv file, but obviously the program is merely recording the positional
and vector information and using the program to generate the graphic.
Still...there has to be a way!

Thanks for the help...off to search for a SERIOUS Pc...

-Mark

You need a video grabbing software (I use "FRAPS", available as free 
downloadable, just search a bit), and a SERIOUS, butt-whooping PC that
is 
MEGA-GIGA triple-throw-down-hyper powerful fast with HUGE memory to not 
record and bog frame rate to the teens.
My AFPD runs nominal 60-80fps (have an Asus FX5200, 64mb video), until I
hit 
"record" in Fraps....then blooey- frame stutter, jerkiness, etc.  But it

does work....actually looks almost like a slow mode.

Turn on "Aircraft Trace".  Turn on View 2 - Plane.  It works and is fun.

Clarifies lots of subtleties you might otherwise miss.

FRAPS records HUGE .avi files, which then have to be tweaked into
.mpg.... I 
use Windows Video Manager for that.
