April 24, 20215 yr When I started making flight sim videos I thought it would be easy, you know how hard could it be? Here are a few things I had to do so I could get started . I'm using Win 7 on a quad core PC with 8 gig of RAM. Old tech now, I built it 7 years ago . First I had to go into windows advanced system settings and turn off all the win 7 frills. Win 7 runs FSX much better with all that stuff turned off. Then go into my video editing software ( Started with Vegas 12 and upgraded to Vegas Pro 16 ) and configured it a several times before getting the best settings for my system. For rendering the videos I have opted for 60 FPS , turned off the re-sampling. I had to go to the internet and find the best codec for Vegas. I had to buy , install , and configure bandicam , I set it to 60 FPS. I went with bandicam over Fraps because bandicam gave me the option to save the recordings in AVI or mp-4 , Fraps only gave me AVI. I prefer mp-4. Then I had to configure FSX . I re-configured FSX several times until I got it running smooth as I could. On my system it works best at 60 FPS trilinear and anti aliasing turned on. I also found that on my system it is best to turn the internet off. Then I had the crazy idea to start a youtube channel, wow I didn't realize there were 20 trillion other FSX channels , LOL just kidding about the 20 trillion but there are quite a few. I decided to do mostly landings. I try to keep the videos under 6 minutes even though there a few that are longer. Here is a link for anyone interested in checking out my youtube channel. Feel free to chime in with your experiences making flight sim videos. 52Zebra😊 https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_TC2C7X1ros54wGJeo21Rw...
