November 20, 200520 yr Hi ThereI'm an avionics instructor and use Flight Sim to demonstrate how avionic systems operate. I would like to create a video clip of the various scenarios and insert them into a presentation.I would like to know what is the best software and hardware required to do this?I'm presently running with FS2002 on a P4 2.4 GHz machine with a Radeon 7000 video card.
November 22, 200520 yr Commercial Member Fraps software is probably your best bet but the downside is it can cut your Flightsim framerates in half causing the capture to "stutter". Intel i9-12900KF, Asus Prime Z690-A MB, 64GB DDR5 6000 RAM, (3) SK hynix M.2 SSD (2TB ea.), 16TB Seagate HDD, Gigabyte GeForce 5080 RTX, Corsair iCUE H70i AIO Liquid Cooler, UHD/Blu-ray Player/Burner (still have lots of CDs, DVDs!) Windows 10, (hold off for now on Win11), EVGA 1300W PSUNetgear 1Gbps modem & router, (3) 27" 1440 wrap-around displaysFull array of Bravo, Saitek and GoFlight hardware for the cockpit. Varjo and HP VR headsets for mixed reality.
November 23, 200520 yr Commercial Member No, not really. It's pure power you need... the fastest cpu that's in your budget. There are a lot of tricks you can do (capture away from busy airprots, less AI, etc.) to improve FPS but one way people do it is capture to a digital camera then d/l back to the pc for editing. That way there is miimal impact on the PC's performance when capturing.
