I have been trying to shoot a small video in FSX using Fraps, but every time I start to record my frames drop down to a slide show. I have shot many vidoes in FS9 without any problems. Does anyone know why Fraps is killing my frame rate? Tnanks

I have never used Fraps. Have you checked with the developer? It may be unstable in FSX because it isn't designed for it. Also remember that FSX uses alot more memory than FS9. Hopefully someone who has used it can help you soon.

Thanks for the reply Jeremy. I did not stop to think about how FSX was using more memory then FS9. It looks like MS had the same issue when they shot the video for the FSX commercial. The video quality is the same as what I am getting, but the sim runs smooth once I stop recording.
