Hi All,
Can anyone help me with how to extract a saved flight video and attach it to an email.
Thanks

From the FSX Learning Center:

Sharing a Flight Video

You can share a flight video with friends, as long as they have the same version of Flight Simulator installed. Flight videos are stored in .fsr files in the following locations:

Windows Vista: Start/Programs/Games/Flight Simulator X.
Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\yourname\My Documents\Flight Simulator X Files.
You can copy the files to removable media drives (using floppy disks, Zip disks, CD-R discs, or similar media) or send them to other Flight Simulator players via email.

Note that FSX 'Flight Video' is not in a digital video format. It records flight data and can only be played back in FSX.

To record digital video, you need a 'video capture' utility like FRAPS.
