Just wondering how you guys have your FSRecorder and FS9 fps settings.

I'm looking to get the best frame rates but I'm not sure if I have my configuration right.

Is it best to set FSRecorder to record "per frame" or "1/4sec, 1/8sec, etc"? Also, where do you have your fps setting within FS9?

I have Fraps set to record at 24fps because the Windows Movie Maker I use renders HD captures in 24fps. If I change it to anything else I get some bad stutters.

 

I've done a few tests so far. Test #1: (FS9 set to 24fps/FSRecorder to capture per frame). Result: Only smooth when things are moving slow.

Test #2: (FS9 set to unlimited fps/FSRecorder to capture per frame). Result: Smooth all around and looks like it's the best one so far.

 

The thing is, if I'm using FSRecorder set to frame, do I have to do my recording and playback at the same fps setting on FS9? So record at unlimited fps and playback at unlimited while capturing with Fraps?

 

I get some bad in-game stutters while recording in unlimited frames but the playback/Fraps capture is smooth. Is it ok to record at 60fps (set in FS9) and playback at unlimited?

 

I prefer to fly at 60fps while recording with FSRecorder. When I set my FS9 to 60fps, I get silky smooth fps which makes flying a lot easier than having it set to unlimited with fps spiking.

Aargh! Nevermind guys. I think I"ll have to take this to the FSRecorder forum. Did another test and it didn't record ai traffic even though I had it checked. Also didn't record my flaps and other things.

That's just highly unusual. I know I was able to get flaps to show up, so not really sure what happened there.

 

Aaah. I finally got it. It didn't work when I ran the replay right after recording while the sim was on pause in mid-air.

I have to exit first, re-load the flight and then run the replay. As for the AI not showing. I had forgotten to check "record AI". I thought I did but was confused because I was comparing my FSX FSRecorder settings to the one I have on FS9.

 

Thanks for sharing the vid, Kevin. That was a great landing. Love the intro lol.
