Title: Is this really possible?
Post by: Razor on April 03, 2002, 04:04:15 am

I was woundering, is it really possible to take screenshots faster and use them as frames later on when you want to make an in-game animation. I tryed this by holdning the F12 key and playing but I didn't get any results.

Please assist.

Yes, it is possible. Do a search on google (http://www.google.com) for a 'screen capture program' or something. Hypersnap is good, but it needs registering. There should be some free ones around...

I have one called CamStudio; it is free and works much better than HyperCam for me. (I think HyperSnap can only do still shots) I haven't tried it for FS2, but it should work fairly well.

The other solution is to hit print screen hundreds of times in succession. :D

Strange. Holding F12 works for me...

Yes, by default it is said to work so. But using screen capture progs, would be the best idea. If you want to get your average TV quality fps.

Buy a graphics card with video-out and TV in. Record on yer VCR using the tv-out and then play it and record using the TV Softwares video capture. Slightly more expensive but you end up with high quality video from yer new top-end graphics card and a TV card which can be used to deco.....err....nevermind.
