Roger that 'bout the recording problems. Will try to think of some fixes or workarounds. Maybe something from our multiplayer days when Don was recording our sessions and seemed to get decent framerates.
No worries, have a good weekend.

Sludge, Your intended video content sounds great. Personally I have no problem (for demonstration purposes) if many approaches and views from same are edited into 'one' approach for the video. In this way perhaps the 'moving carrier' problem can be overcome. Editing videos without good editing programs can be very tedious though (not that I have such a thing) so making one video is often what I do; but then miss out on all the intended views when playing back the video in FSX (to then record it with FRAPS but changing the views during the playback). Have never tried to make a 'moving carrier' video though.

One question about the HUD (didn't want to open a new topic for that, I guess it's in good hands here, hope it doesn't bother you too much).
There is this course indicator in the HUD which should be adjustable, either in the HUD gauge or in the VC. When I'm at the catapult trying to set the course to the angled deck, it always snaps back to the actual heading of the Hornet. Is this a pilot error, am I doing anything wrong?

The reason this happens is because the steering arrow automatically adjust itself to the carrier heading (Basic Recovery Course) - this is the course you fly parallel to in your carrier traffic pattern. When you are on the catapult, you are headed the same way as the carrier, so the arrow will point straight up. Once you take off and start making turns, you will see that it stays oriented in the direction the carrier is moving. Only in night operations or bad weather, the arrow will be oriented to the angled deck, rather than the BRC, because instead of making an overhead break and traffic pattern - you go straight in towards the runway.

I understand that, makes sense, but why is there a knob in the gauge to adjust the course if you can't?
