Is there any sort of in-game flight recording? Or is Fraps the nest bet?

Fraps will do the job but it does use some resources. If you are using an NVIDEA card there are some built in options depending on the card you have. Hellshade could be more specific if you PM him.

Well, just getting into flight sims, trying to find the right one for me.

I've tried War Thunder and Il2 1946, because I like WWII planes but I want some type of narrative as well.

Everyone says WOFF has the best campaign. I wish there was a profile for the X55 joystick somewhere...

I really haven't played that much, just getting a feel for things and learning slowly.

Anywhoo, cheers! Thanks for the welcome!

Any questions you have are welcome here and there are no dumb questions so ask away.

With regards to flight sims, you are going to find WOFF amazing but it does have a significant learning curve so I recommend you start with some free flight sessions in Quick Combat mode to get a respectable feeling for the craft you want to fly. It will pay off significantly.

Cheers mate!

I use "Bandicam" meanwhile. It doesn't need a lot of Resources and the File Sizes are small. Before that I tried the "Afterburner". It has many Adjusting-Options, but it tends to produce Stutters in the Video and File-Sizes are rather large.

I'll agree with what Robert_Wiggins says. And I'll add that you can get all the help you need here, it's a really great and congenial (and occasionally a bit Barmy) group of simmers here. Criminee, I hardly have time to get in the air, I just hang out here for the fun and camaraderie. And the devs are handy, too, over in the tech support forum, and they moderate and participate in this main forum as well.

To me, WOFF is a work of art. If you've flown much at all, I think you'll agree that the scenery and sense of immersion is second to none. My first few missions, which involved no combat at all, I couldn't believe how much I got lost in the experience. Just trying to maintain my position, keep an eye out for trouble, figure out where in God's green earth I was - if I didn't have a flight leader, I'd have never gotten back. It amazes me what these guys did in these primitive machines.

And as to navigation, one of our dear fellows here, RAF_Louvert, has taken great pains and many hours compiling detailed maps of the WOFF world for various times in the war - if you get serious with this, they are a "must have". Print'em out or use a second screen and fly the way they did. I try to fly without any on-screen aids, but I'm sure when I get into real combat there are some accomodations to being on a screen that I may have to make. Like we've said, just ask.

Sorry I can't help you with the X55 - I'm using an X52. If you don't have it already, it really helps to get a head tracker such as TrackIR. Rudder pedals are right behind that.

Good luck & hope to see you around!

Hi Nietzsche. I am very glad you commented on Bandicam. I have been considering purchasing it and Bandicut this coming weekend. I have had some experience with FRAPS, but I can't say that I'm all that happy with it.

@teh_pwnisher, as HumanDrone says... if you don't have a head tracker... it is awesome to have one. I don't know how I ever did without TrackIR.
