FRAPS and FSX - not always working?

Featured Replies

Many times when I run FSX FRAPS counter does not appear. However, if I restart FRAPS then it is displayed. It seems that about 1/2 hte times I use FSX there is no FRAPs counter? I have been using it for several years.

Same here, I have always used fraps and configured it to start with Vista boot up, but of late it hasn't been starting so I have to manually start it then all is well. Weird behavior and I have no idea why this should crop up now.Noel

Are you all using the latest version 3.4.5?Cheers,- jahman.

Every version does it, Jahman. It's worth noting that, if at first you don't see the FRAPS counter when using a particular viewpoint in FSX, try pressing the key command for that viewpoint a second time. For example, if you switch to the spot view (F11) and the FRAPS counter disappears, try pressing F11 again. Sometimes, the counter returns. Another trick is to switch to a different viewpoint, and then switch back again.These don't always work, but they are worth trying.

Good tip... I might mention that the same thing occurs with two train sims I use as well. Also, thank you to "jahman". I was a few iterations behind on versions. May not make a difference but.....

Have you tried contacting Fraps? They release updates frequently, so you might get this issue fixed.Cheers,- jahman.

I use the registered version, so I get an email whenever a new update is available.

I might be wrong , but I suspect that some of the Microsoft security updates maybe effecting its function.I click the views to get out of fullscreen , then switch FRAPS off and then on again and it works fine after that.CheersKarol
