Hi! I have fsx se, and I NEEEED! DESPERATE of the 2.17 version of fsrecorder. My computer isn't fast, but I want to make as real as it gets videos... But since I can only use 1.331 (I think) In SE, IT doesn't have a render feature! I need those crucial frames! Please, can I have an alternative? NOT A SCREEN RECORDER THOUGH! But a flight sim recorder, that can render, or at least a software that can put those missing frames in there(No, I will not use Razer Cortex, so don't mention it please). On another note, sorry for using caps. I am just so sad and my emotions are sometimes out of control... Forgive me Jim, and other staff/mods of Avsim!

EZdok alternative and my thoughts on ENB series Mod
sargentx posted a topic in MS FSX | FSX-SE Forum
Everyone is different and everyone likes different add ons etc for fsx. That goes without saying. For some, certain mods work great, and others have problems with the same mods. I want to share my thoughts on ezdok/ezca and the enb mod. Both mods are awesome without doubt. If cameras are your thing, then ezca is the supreme program that will give you unlimited camera views, head shake and buffering effects, and a bunch of other things. However, from what I've read online, a lot of people simply like the head shake effect and buffering illusion. Also, if you've tinkered with ezdok, you know that it's quite complicated and can sometimes have issues. It's not idiot proof. Personally, I was having a lot of problems with ezdok (technical issues) and ended up uninstalling it. Luckily, I wasn't too obsessed with the camera views and am quite happy with the default cameras of fsx. I do however loved and missed the wiggling, undocked head effects. The other day I discovered AccuFeel. this:http://www.a2asimulations.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=49 This program is extremely simple compared to Ezdok, but will give you instant, accurate head shake, stall buffeting, and ground shake in all your aircraft including addon aircraft simply by installing the software. It detects the type of aircraft, reads and understands it's flight specs and creates a shake profile for it. It also adds a whole plethora of improved sounds which are really amazing. This program is not a camera program though, so you will use the fsx camera system. You install it and forget about it. It's customizable if you want to tweak it with a really easy to use slider menu that appears in your add-ons tab. Regarding the ENB series mod....once you use it, it's hard to tolerate the default, washed out values and tones of fsx. It really gives fsx a photographic look. But as many know, there can be some serious issues the mod including crashes, burned out skies, difficulty getting the mod to work in all types of time themes etc. For me, it was the single cause of CTD and fatal error messages. You can approximate most of the effects other than bloom by simply adjusting your desktop colour settings. Run fsx in it's own window and adjust your gamma, contrast, lightness etc until you get a richer, more contrasty look. Just playing with these sliders, you can exactly match the HDR effect of ENB....darker richer darks, brighter, more blown out lights etc. And at night, you can really get the high contrast, rich velvety blacks that are so much the prize of the ENB tweaks. On my LED tv, fsx looks awesome, and exactly matches the values of ENB minus the bloom softening. I liked the soap opera gauziness of enb, but got tired of the persistent crashes and problems. Maybe yours works great...I don't know. Aside from bloom, all the other effects can be had by changing your desktop colour settings....gamma, contrast, brightness, vibrance. Also play with your TV/monior settings as well. The nice thing about doing it this way is that you don't lose colour saturation or detail in blown out whites. It gives you a lot of customizability. I don't know, just my thoughts. -
Hi! I recently made the switch to FSX and was horrified by its real-world weather. It wasn't even accurate! I started to poke around with Active Sky, trying to figure out which one to purchase. I want to keep as low budget as possible. All I really need from a weather program is real-world weather. If anyone knows any good ones, please let me know!

Hello i just tried P3D thought it would be better with the Frame rates but it was the complete opposite ! I REALLY LOVED THE PTA TOOL ! And the fact that there's no Alternative for FSX is a just a shame ! :( Is there any alternative you guys know ?
