Hi guys, I'm from EDAV, a Brazilian air demonstration team, and we are starting now on FC, we were using IL-2 before.
I would like to ask some hints on cameras and track playing because I see you use some different cameras inside the simulator and if it's not secret, it's a program you use or just some modding in the game?!
When I record the track everything is workig fine but, when I play the track I can't change views, I just can change views when I'm on "Play track" mode inside the mission, if i go to "Show Replay" section from the main screen I can't move the camera, zoom in or change camera...
Thanks a lot!

Best Regards

Aha... we emailed a few times back and forth already, but now I see your problem. When you want to play a track, open the track via the OPEN button from the main menu (not the REPLAY button), then select "track files" from the drop down box in the lower right-hand corner and browse to where you saved the track. Click on the saved track to open it in the "mission editor". From the menu bar at the top there should be a "playback track" option listed somewhere under the "record track" option you used to start the game.

When using the playback track or edit track options from within the mission editor (EDIT or OPEN from the main menu screen loads the mission editor), it will let you change all your views. Whenever you load up a track by clicking the REPLAY button from the main menu, the view keys are locked to retain the views you can save with the edit track feature and show your friends without them changing views (btw, no one uses this feature anyway).

To record footage, we use www.fraps.com in real-time. Set up your desired view and then playback the part of the track you want to record (you'll have to fast fwd to the time you want to capture). Make sure you learn the pause-unpause, and changing playback speed commands as well as how to remove the taskbar etc. Reference the keycommands.doc. Recording in slower playback speed (25-50%) and then speeding it up in your video editing software in post-production, will give you better frame rates.

There are several threads discussing video capture and Fraps if you search.

Thanks again Lawndart!
About the part of recording and editing it's OK, I've done it in IL-2 my real problem was where to open the track... I'll try to do it when I get back home tonight.

Thank you very much AGAIN!
Best regards
