Hi: I am running FSX on windows 7. All is fine except when I try to record a flight. It all works fine but the replay is jerky. There are 4 recording interval settings(1/4 second 1/2 second 1 second and 5 seconds) and I tried them all. All result in an unstable replay.Is there a fix for this?Ralph

The "Flight Video" feature in FSX - aside from it NOT being a video, but a flight recording - has always worked fine for me.A gentle smooth flight with the 172 at 5 sec record level was as smooth as the original. Recording aerobatic movements at any speed is likely to give jerky results.If a smooth flight at all speeds is jerky on playback I would try a couple things...Lighten the load on the CPU: AI traffic OFF, weather NONE, scenery densities set to med low and see what the results are.It also might be informative to record a 3min flight then pause the sim... before you view the saved flight, watch the same previous 3 minutes that you recorded with the "Instant Replay" feature. The two features should be displaying the same flight in pretty much the same quality - it's even possible that both are using the same recorded data, though one is saved to the HDD, and the other may be only in memory (I've always wondered where the 'instant replay' flight data was being saved...)Loyd

If you want to record flights and view it under fsx only than i would suggest use fsrecorder it's free and neat.

For recording a flight and playback in FSX you can use FSRECORDER and is Freeware.To record a flight for showing on a external device like dvdplayer etc. you can capture using FRAPS To see what you can expect when you have decent hardware and software: http://www.youtube.com/user/simbanl#g/aHappy landings...

Hi : Downloaded FSRECORDER. Works great. Thanks for the help.

Yep It's a neat program, and also the recording size is smaller then the default fsx recorder.

no, with the latest version of FS recorder you don't need FRAPS :( , it does everything.

Show me Mr. Wiseguy with your demanding (shame on you) smily... There is a Beta of FSRecorder to render a video in WMF format without sound. I used it in my video (as mentioned above) to render parts where airport cars/trucks etc. are in motion to get them smooth but it is not realtime rendering as with FRAPS. and beside of that, you have to re-edit the new WMF format parts with sound in a external video edit program.On my OC 2600K and GTX 580 machine, capturing 10 sec. will take a couple of minutes to complete that part without sound.A very good and smart interim solution from the FSRecorder guys if you know how and what you have to do and not for the mainstream flightsimmer who want to do quick and easy recording for making a external movie or flight scene OUTSIDE FSX. I checked their website before writing this to be sure that I have nothing missed so please, show me what you know and I don't...That was not the goal for the topic poster regarding his reaction that it works with FSRecorder so he only wanted a FSX INSIDE recorder that goes beyond 1/4 sec. and in that case, FSRecorder matched perfectly.I am recieving every day emails from people who have watched my A to Z Boeing 767 movie and asking me how to capture for external use so if you can teach me (and them) how to do it without FRAPS in good real time quality, Show me. Anything else Mr. Wiseguy?

Wow I never knew the new version of Fsrecorder can be used like FRAPS.

I am sorry, you took it badly :( . that was not my goal. I did not realize that the smiley was offensive, I thought it was just to say "no" that is not true.Once again I am sorry about it.Take care
