Aerofly pro deluxe

[Atwood, Mark]

So Bob,  My laptop (Which is what I'm using for the sim) has an S-Video
out on it...if I simply hook that up to my A/V amp and record
it...that'll work??  Hmmm...that could be the easiest solution.  Just
send it to the DVD recorder. 

Thanks! Something to try tonight...

The BEST way is a true dual-monitor video card that has configurable TV
out; 
usually S video.  Instead of driving a second monitor, you just drive a
DVD 
recorder with the 2nd video monitor NTSC output.  It's an exact record,
at 
the same frame rate as the program.
Nvidia has a pretty good dual head card, but a little expensive.

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...

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.
