F-18 carrier brake problems

<< < (7/23) > >>

burner12:
I would like to thank all of you who have given me instructions on how to land on a carrier. but apparently the problem wasn't my flying after all. We just got a new computer with a dual graphics card and apparently one of them was defective. So I bet that was the problem. We just installed 2 new ones and even when I land left of the wirse where before it skidded me out now it traps me PERFECTLY! :D :D So thanks to all wo have helped. Don't you just hate it when technology fails. >:(

OK then, how about a video of a trap please.  ::) I've used FRAPS in the past and don't know of any other game video capture program; but likely there are others out there. I don't use FRAPS to capture the flying in real time because the real flying frame rate is affected adversely. My method is to playback the relevant portion while FRAPS captures the playback. FRAPS makes a very large but excellently detailed .AVI video. Then I use Microsoft Movie Maker 2 to edit/crunch this video into a usable size .WMV example. There are options to make the best quality for general use (tape at 3Mb/s) or lesser quality for file upload/download.

I don't know how to make a video using FSX. I have tried to record the flight by using the buttons it says to start and stop recording but I can't find that file, I don't think it recorded it. If you can give me instructions on how to record a flight I'll be happy to do so,by the way SpazSinBad thanks so much for your help! ;)

SpazSinbad:
Perhaps I used the wrong terminology for FSX about 'playback'. I don't mean "RECORD" the flight - sorry for confusion. I mean to use the 'Instant Replay' function. I still don't have FSX installed to give more detailed instructions. I guess I can look on FSX help website. The replay will be available at the end of the flight. There is a maximum number of seconds available, with a maximum for any flight. I guess you would want to replay the last 60 seconds of a landing? It may default to that. I forget. I'm not used to having to remember all this stuff to then type out instructions about it. Use the ALT key to look at the menus.

When changing views in 'Instant Replay' use the "Locked Spot" external view otherwise external view will be jerky. I think F11 key will give you that function.

Q: How do you get Instant replay on FSX?
A: "When in flight press "p" to pause the game then press the "alt" key to bring up the menu bar on top and choose 'Options'. 'Instant Replay' should be there."

Useful FSX help website perhaps: http://www.flightsimulatorguide.com/fsxfaq.html

Will it save the replay?
