FRAPS RECORDING DESKTOP MOVIE

I then went to the movie section and set up F11 to start the recording. First off, I set up the hotkey F12 for the frame counter, to be shown in the bottom right corner. No joy! I went to the fraps Web, read the FAQ, and set up everything the way it said. Will FRAPS do? Or do I need something else? I want something that will record decent videos of my flights, and that will work at MY resolution. So I'm asking others out there for their input on this app. I was assuming that this would work in HD mode, and maybe I was wrong. I noticed somewhere in the instructions where it said to set the FSX graphics at a lower resolution (which I'm not going to do), but it didn't say anything about a resolution limit. The only problem I could think of would be that FRAPS does not work in my 1920x1080x32 mode.

Problem was, when I clicked on 'Play', all I got was a black screen, with the FSX sounds, and a cursor that flew all over the screen, leaving cursor arrows behind it. But then I selected 'View' and there it was, a file saved in the correct place.

So I couldn't tell if I was recording or not.

Then I hit the hot-key again to stop recording.įirst, though I had set the frames counter overlay to appear in the bottom right corner, it never did. I set the hot-key at the '1' key (top of keyboard, not numpad), and so with the 172 sitting there cold & dark, I hit the hot-key and went about switching everything on and starting the engine. Is there anyone out there who uses this program? I loaded it up (v3.5.9), and thought I had it set correctly (not a lot to set, is there?) until I started up FSX and loaded the default Cessna 172. I recently got FRAPS because I wanted not only to record more than a few seconds of FSX flight but also wanted to share some of it with others.
