Video Recording

Thanks for your quick reply Mike. Your gonna think I'm thick but how do I
get to "Window Mode"? Tried right clicking on screen & choosing other
options then gave up!

Regards,
Roy.

Yep! It showed up twice

Roy, go into window mode and you will see Options in the menu bar, click
on this and you will find Instant Replay, Flight Video etc.

Press ALT, O, R.

Window mode can be entered if you hold down the Shift Key and press the
Enter key. OR from full screen mode, just press the Alt Key and select the
Options Menu. The video option in FS9 can only be viewed by replaying
through FS9. There are several users here who have become quite proficient
with standalone video recording that can be saved, edited, emailed or posted
for viewing by others. Unfortunately, FS9 did not include any of those
features apparently.

With Flight Sim running click on Alt and Enter to go into Window Mode,
also click on Alt and Enter to come out.

Glad to help. Usually it's me that is asking for help

Are you sure Danny? Does not work for me.

Alt + Enter does though.

Thank you so much everyone for your assistance. Just "Alt" shows a tiny
title bar along the top of the screen. Clicking the mouse anywhere on the
screen returns me back.

Alt & Enter Shrinks the whole box down to about half the screen size, but
either way shows the title bar.

Now I will be able to replay my flights & confirm my worst fears, that I
can't fly! Up Up & away and thanks again for your help. This is a great
Newsgroup.

Regards,
Roy.

Remember, you can point your cursor to the edge of the window you get
when you ALT/Enter to Windowed mode and it will turn into an arrow. Then
you can drag the window to whatever size you want. Same with the panel.
I only say this because when I first started posting here I didn't know
that I could resize the panel.

Roy if the window is too small as you report, look in the upper right hand
corner of the window. You see the three, typical Microsoft icons to
minimize(the minus sign), maximize (the square), or close the window(the X).
If you click the square, the window will maximize to fill the screen, but
you will still be in windowed mode and can still see the menu bar at top.
Some here, report getting better frame rates in windowed mode. I tried both
ways and see no difference if FPS, so I never use windowed mode. And boB's
post demonstrates how you can make the screen the size you want by dragging
the corner. In full screen mode, I frequently change the size of the
instrument panel by placing the mouse at the bottom edge of the panel until
the cursor changes to a vertical line with arrows at each end. I then hold
down the left mouse button and move the cursor upward, which drags the
bottom of the instrument panel with it. This reduces the height of the
instrument panel. I then click on the panel and drag the whole panel down
to the lower edge of the screen. I'm short and have problems seeing over
the top of the panel when landing. heehee. Changing the seat height causes
the view to shift too much, and this resizing technique is a bit less
drastic. Unless I save the flight, the panel reverts back to the default
size the next time I load the plane so no harm is done to the panel . . .
and no animals are hurt in the experiment.
