videomakers: Fraps, or the ingame movie exporting tool?

Plus the options to remove arrows, icons, plane-names, etc, very useful.
But how does it work? And DOES it actually work now, or is it just another WIP feature to be fixed in the future patches?
All I could get so far is a long, black frame...

A quick question please,

Gathering that you guys have watched a few of your recorded tracks. Are the engine sounds for all planes other than the players audible?

Whenever I play back a track the only engine sound I get is from the player plane. All other planes engine sounds are silent.

Sorry to O/T

Cheers, Neil

I think most if not all of us are experiencing that problem at the moment. Peronally I just use fraps for now. The built-in codecs don't seem to work that well.

No probs, just making sure I wasn't the only one Thanx for the info.

uhm, I didn't notice it, but since you said all the other planes are silent, Im going to check it out right now.

EDIT - Neil, nope,, i loaded my track (Spitfire vs 3 HE111) just a little track but works fine, both focusing on any single plane and/or switching to panoramic flyby views (F3) that show the HE111's chased by my Spit... I can hear all the engines.

Engine sounds are fubar in my tracks too. Just another bug to be fixed eventually I guess.

That's interesting, most people (including me) have the sound bug in tracks from the comments I've read, what's your system? maybe there's a clue somewhere in that!

Interesting, good to hear it's working ok for you. System specs might hold some clues, possibly ingame settings. Sound settings in conf.ini might be usefull too.

... a friend of mine recently also noticed that he could not hear my plane.
He was standing on the ground and I made a very close flyby.
He could see me as it was really close, but could not hear my engine as he said!
