#3519359 - 02/15/12 12:15 PM Windowed Mode, Fraps, Teamspeak ?s
Wrecking Crew Smooth Operator Member Registered: 03/04/07 Posts: 1649 Loc: Colorado	Anybody running DCS A-10C not in Full Screen mode? What do you think? Fraps is on my list for software purchases. Does it have hot keys for screenshots and recordings, etc? Would it help to have A-10C in windowed mode to access these hot keys? I'd also like to see who's talking on Teamspeak but do not want to Alt-Tab out of A-10C. I'm running one 30" monitor. I have another 22" but no surface to put it on right now...woudn't be hard to fix that issue though.

Not sure about windowed mode though, but I play in fullscreen and FRAPS works fine (testing min-max-avg framerates). There is a TeamSpeak overlay plugin which I use successfully in World of Tanks but for some reason doesn't seem to work with DCS A10C. As soon as I get a second monitor, I will be running in windowed mode to get instruments on the second screen via Helios. Might be able to put TS3 there too so I can see who's talking. _________________________ - Ice

As I mentioned in the other thread you can set it to take a pic every X seconds and also control the size of the video you take as they get quite big. On the second monitor thing, I have a 27" and a 22" for PDF manuals and used all the time for the A-10C start-up list , very useful. _________________________ Antec 902 \| MSI GTX 570 OC Twin FrozR 3 1280MB GDDR5 \| Samsung F3 1TB \| Corsair 6GB DDR3 \| Gigabyte EX58-UD3R Intel X58 \| LG DVD±RW SATA DL RW \| Corsair TX 650W ATX2.2 PSU \| Intel i7 920 2.66Ghz D0 OC'd to 3.40GHz \| Coolermaster V8 CPU Cooler \| W7 HP 64 bit \| 27" iiyama monitor \| TM HOTAS Warthog #05225 \| TM Cougar MFDs \| Saitek Pro-flight combat pedals \| Track IR 5 Tolerance and apathy are the last virtues of a dying society.

MaceUK33 Dirk Diggler's stuntman Hotshot Registered: 01/10/05 Posts: 8843 Loc: Darlington, UK	Yeah, fullscreen. I've never run any game/sim windowed as it breaks the immersion seeing a border. I have Helios running on the 22" too when I can. _________________________ Antec 902 \| MSI GTX 570 OC Twin FrozR 3 1280MB GDDR5 \| Samsung F3 1TB \| Corsair 6GB DDR3 \| Gigabyte EX58-UD3R Intel X58 \| LG DVD±RW SATA DL RW \| Corsair TX 650W ATX2.2 PSU \| Intel i7 920 2.66Ghz D0 OC'd to 3.40GHz \| Coolermaster V8 CPU Cooler \| W7 HP 64 bit \| 27" iiyama monitor \| TM HOTAS Warthog #05225 \| TM Cougar MFDs \| Saitek Pro-flight combat pedals \| Track IR 5 Tolerance and apathy are the last virtues of a dying society.

If you want to record your Teamspeak chat, there's an option to record all your mic input, or just when pressing a certain hotkey: set this to the same hotkey as your TS PTT and voila. _________________________ Shoot to Kill.

Weaponz248 Hail To The King Baby!! Member Registered: 06/07/11 Posts: 1548 Loc: Germany( Milwaukee, WI)	I have had FRAPS for about 5 years now. One of the best investments I have made. All my screenshots are taken using FRAPS as well as my videos. As for window mode. FRAPS will still work. _________________________ "Whoever appeals to the law against his fellow man is either a fool or a coward. Whoever cannot take care of himself without that law is both.

There are no borders in DCS when windowed mode is selected??? _________________________ Airdog \| Asus P8Z77-V Pro \| i7 2600K @ 3.4 \| 8 GB DDR3@1600mhz \| EVGA 570GTX 1280mb\| EVGA 460GTX 768mb \| Win7 64 Pro \| Hotas Warthog #02743 \| Track IR 5 \| HP 2710m 27" \| 3x Acer 23" Touchscreens \| HELIOS \| http://dcs-mercenaries.com/
