Flight recorder bugged?

[Sybreed]

Hi,

 

I was trying to edit and upload a video, but every time I change the camera with F2 or F3, I get super zoomed-in when I go back in cockpit view and can't seem to change it afterwards. Anyone knows what's causing this and how to fix it?

rewinding a few seconds seems to reset the camera view to the correct zoom, but it's kind of a chore to do that every time I want to change the perspective. It wasn't doing that yesterday... and only thing I messed with is the saved camera view for the aircraft because I hit f10 by accident on another mission, but I don't think that's the reason why it seems bugged now.

edit: Okay, found out that using CTRL+F1 fixes that, but I have another question: How does the edit portion of the flight recorder worked? I tried editing the video... but it doesn't record the edit I'm doing. I'm kind of confused here.

? You cannot edit the flight recording. The flight recording is made up of data that lets you recreate what happend during recording. You can use all the different views and time accelerations but you have to record a video file with a video capture tool like nvdia shadowplay (my suggestion if you use NVidia) or fraps.

aye, that's what I found after some tinkering. Thx! Never really used shadowplay, can you actually edit videos taken with that?

No, editing you should do with a real editing program. But shadowplay makes very good recordings with very little performance impact and several recording parameters for quality can be set. 

 

For editing take either MovieMaker or if you want something good (but not free) take Vegas.

I echo the use of Shadowplay as the recording medium. I've had great luck with it. As a alternative to Sony Vega (which I've never used) Nero is a much cheaper program and in my experience, works well with lots of options available.
