Flight Simulator Recording

[hughie]

Hello!
I was wondering what software people use to record there flight simulator clips? I have found many nice clips on the internet of landings and
takeoffs, I would like to start making my own.

My second question is what most of you guys/gals use for your controls? ch yoke? ch rudder pedals? ch throttle? Hotas? mouse and keyboard?

For videos, FRAPS seems to be the program of choice.

CH Yoke + Pro Pedals here.

Several models of sticks and yokes. Mostly Logitech. Like wingman force.
But the most interesting thing is that I have discovered recently (last 2 month) that I trully CAN fly with keyboard+mouse!!!
Now I have more free space on the desk!

Welcome to the club!

I actually have a flight yoke (and rudder pedals) stored away somewhere, but as my first experiences with computers (and games) were
before any alternative input devices had even been dreamed about, I've got used to the keyboard..

Thank you!
Actually, my first simming experience was also without any joysticks. It was at the early 90's with F-117. Later was MSFS 5. But I didn't
paly it for long - it was not really palyable. Then, up to year 2001 I was flying a lot of military sims and from 1998 was using different
joysticks. I could not imagine a dogfight with keyboard anymore!
Then, I finally returned to MSFS2000, 2002 and 2004. I was flying with sticks and later with youke as it was obvious for me that there's no
other way to fly. Keyboard sucks - I thought, learned by the years of dogfighting experience. And sudenly, few month ago I have tried to do
it with keyboard in FS9 because I was running short on desktop space and most of flight was on A/P anyway... It was a great surprize for
me, but it was not tht bad!
Guys I tell you, for MSFS passenger or GA flights, keyboard is quite good solution! You have to get used to it after yoke though, but then
you are free from that garbage on your desk!
That's my story.
But if I would fly some Spitfire again, I would probably get back my Force3D

Would that happen to be the F-117 made by a company called MicroProse?? I loved that game. I also bought World Circut, THE racing
game for the time frame.

Yes it was.
It was newer and greatly improved version of the widely known MicroProce's F-19.
Later I just loved the DogFight from MicroProse.
And later again I loved another game from MicroProse called EuropeanAirWar.
Oh, almost forgot -Falcon4 was MicroProse as well!
If I would add that I loved SidMayer's Civilisation which was also MicroProse, one may think that I am a MicroProse fan!
Am I?
I gues I am!
