FRAPS HELP!

[Guest tyer22]

Whenever I try to record with FRAPS the FPS counter goes from yellow to red and the back to yellow. I DON'T have the F9 key used in FS2004 and i have 84.1 Gigs of space on my Hard Drive. FRAPS records other programs like GTA: SA but CANNOT record FS2004. Can you help me!!

[Guest rekhraj]

have u tried uninstalling and reinstalling?

[Guest tyer22]

yes but it doesn't help

Hello,Just a shot in the dark :)Had you try to capture a video with the FRAPS setting "half size" ?Regards.

[Guest tyer22]

yeah but it still doesn't work. IT DOES WORK IN OTHER GAMES BUT NOT IN FS2004.

What Version of FRAPS are you using?

... I DON'T have the F9 key used in FS2004 ...

Have you tried using a different key anyway? I've always used "Scroll Lock" since that way I can also have a light on the keyboard when recording is in progress...Geoff

I am using FRAPS version 2.9.4 build 7037 and yes i have tried different keys with no luck

Don't know if will help but you may wish to try the latest version which is (as of yesterday) 2.9.8Good Luck.

[Guest tyer22]

i doubt it will, i checked the change log and it said nothing about the problem

I don't believe you have posted your complete system specs.FS is a very processor intensive application - more so than most other "games" I have been told.Fraps also requires a good deal of processing capability so I cannot help but wonder if your system is simply not powerful enough for both to run effectivetly at the same time.Post your specs and folks with far more expertise than I may comment. :(

HelloReaded your specifications.I'm never affirmative at 100% (how can be with informatic) but methink your system play a role in your problemThis must be your concern:System Memory 448 MB at least bizzare number .. and low.Video Adapter SiS 661FX/GX Mirage Graphics (64 MB) .. very low !Regards.

[Guest tyer22]

maybe but the key point to remember is:FRAPS DOES RECORD WITH OTHER PROGRAMS

[Guest belga1]

Hello,LOL...My guess was for your specific problem (FRAPS not functionning with FS2004) and not for the other non problems applications or games .... :)Never be so affirmative when it's a informatic problem .. each game engines and requirements for ditto are sometimes very differents.I use FRAPS with differents games also .. and when recording .. some have a drain of FPS .. some not.If you want make some tests:Try to record first FS2004 flight with FSrecorder and record the replay with FRAPS .. maybe this will help !http://www.fs-recorder.net/Regards.
