Fluff movie. Warning: Boeing content.
I've just been messing about with FS Recorder, Fraps and Windows Movie Maker to try out some camera angles in FSX. This is an early attempt but I thought I'd post it in case anybody was bored. It's a bit of fun.

Hi Ian,
I don't think you're doing it right - aren't you supposed to lurch off the runway on landing if you missed doing it on take off?
After all, VFR does stand for "Veer off the F.. Runway" doesn't it?
Interesting to see some recorded shots, mister. Are those fancy fade - outs standard, or is that another of your skills? Sounds like you've edited using various programmes.

Re: Fluff movie. Warning: Boeing content.
Hello Mike. You'll have noticed that I didn't flare early enough and did a bit of bounce but still kept it in a straight line Anything worse and you wouldn't have seen it!
A year or two back I managed to successfully put a few minutes of video together in FS9 - mainly at Kai Tak, as it's about the only add-on scenery I use But FSX brought different challenges, which I decided er, not to accept Anyway, I recently decided that screenshots didn't do justice to some of my aircraft so I thought I'd have a fiddle and see what I could do about it. I've still got a lot of fiddling to do...
FS Recorder is a freeware program that is more sophisticated than the Replay option in FS. It also gives you the opportunity to create new camera views and even replay your flight as traffic - giving you the opportunity to then fly with yourself in formation. So you can replay your flight and then choose which sequences to video and from different angles.
Fraps is the recording program which 'films' the on-screen action and you can toggle it on or off during replay. The freeware version limits you to 30 sec recording sequences and a small text banner on the top of the screen. The payware version obviously has no restriction.
Windows Live Movie Maker is a free download from Microsoft. You just drag and drop the disjointed fraps video sequences into the Movie Maker window and use the tools to trim them, splice them together (using special effects) and edit them into a single movie. When that's done you upload the movie to YouTube which also gives you some basic tools to enhance (or more likely ruin) your masterpiece.

Lol, your camera work is excellent, even if the subject matter should be wearing a "Heinz 57" wrapper

Re: Fluff movie. Warning: Boeing content.
Thanks Ian,
Already had FS Recorder, and have now downloaded Live Movie Maker. Hadn't looked at FRAPS, but I may do so soon.
Great work all round, and thanks for sharing.
If you did bounce, it was lost on me.
I can generally make a passable take off and landing in a light aircraft, but those heavies are a handful, so I stick to what doesn't embarrass me too much.
Oooh, those pesky jokers Ben and Eric, can't they see we're having a seri - arse discussion here!?

Maybe you'd like to paint up some Heinz Boeing 737 in all 57 varieties
Cheer up mate, another 737-600 was flown the Kemble this week for scrapping and Lufthansa stuck another in storage

I warned you! Just because it's your forum, there's no need to act as if you own the place!TSR2 wrote:Lol, your camera work is excellent, even if the subject matter should be wearing a "Heinz 57" wrapper
Well, as soon as I get me hands on a 146 in China Eastern flavour I'll do a video of it in British Hong Kong

Lol, you did warn me.
I'm very much waiting to get my paws on the 146 too, but the first batch is the RJ's only. Its begging for a Titan paint, and a Danair, and a BAe house and..

You are very brave Ian.I'd be embarrassed to show my take offs and landings to anyone! EricT
