FSRecorder Help

I am looking for help wit FSRecorder, specifically for getting more than 2 planes in a single screenshot.  I know it has been posted in the past, but I can't seem to find it.

Here is what I can do:
I start a flight and hit record. Then I fly my plane or slew it into position for my screenshot. I finish recording and save. Then I load a new plane, and select play as AI. I get the two lined up, bla bla bla.

Ok so after that. How do I get more planes. I've tried to record again with the "Record AI traffic" box checked, but it doesn't seem to record the plane that is being played as AI.

I would really like to get 3 or more planes in one shot for this months screenshot contest, but I am not sure how to properly work FSRecorder. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Mark

If you got deluxe, use Traffic Explorer, much better  ;)

you have to load all the videos that you want to record at once,

ex.
video 1 has plane 1
video 2 has plane 2
etc...

each plane gets it's own video, if you have five planes you want to  fly with and record you need 5 videos playing while recording a new one, and don't forget to record AI traffic! ;)

do you have sp1?

Automatic installation:
-----------------------
First extract the zip file to a directory of you choice. Then
start the included Windows Installer file "Setup.msi" and
follow the instructions. FSX has to be installed on your system,
otherwise the installer will not run. If you have a previous
version of FS Recorder for FSX installed, you have to uninstall
it first.
The module and documentation will be installed into the directory
you enter in the installation wizard. The installer will
automatically add the required Launch.Addon entry to the FSX
dll.xml file.

Manual installation:
--------------------
Create a directory and extract the file "RecorderFSX.dll" into it.
Then open the file "dll.xml", which is located in "Documents and
Settings\[USER]\Application Data\Microsoft\FSX" and add the
following entry before "":

     
           FS Recorder Module
           False
           False
           [PATH]\RecorderFSX.dll
     


where you have to replace [PATH] with the path, where
RecorderFSX.dll is located.

If you are using Windows Vista, make sure that security
permissions are correct for the FS Recorder directory and the DLL.
If you run FSX as administrator, there should be no problem,
otherwise make sure that your user account has execute permission
for RecorderFSX.dll and the permission to create and write files
in the FS Recorder directory.
