I have found a way to take Screen Shots in CFS2. All you need is to install this program call FRAPS and basically you can strat taking pictures immediatley.


Here is how it works.

1.Down load FRAPS

2.I install it. It usually it install intself inside my Computer C. You can also pick the location where you it install. It will create its own Folder call FRAPS.

3. Go inside the Folder call FRAPS. CLICK on the Icon call FRAPS 99. Activate Start Fraps Minimize or other option.

4. Start CFS2.

5.Start Free Flight or Quick combat.

6.Press F10 if you want a Screen Shot and or if you want a short 30 secound movie press F9.

7.Minimize CFS2.

8.Go back to FRAPS folder and click on either the Movie or Screen Shoots you have just made.
Its real easy.

The best thing about it that it will allow to take shoots not only in CFS2 but also of most other games you play in. Another thing is that there are no limitation to the number of Movies or Screen Shoots that you can make.

You can also use it as Gun camera or simply make a short movie of a mission you really like. Its your choice. You are the Movie Director.

Here is the Web

erm... you mean like a movie? or you just discovered how to take screenshots?

Hey Corsair Freak nice to hear form you. You can take both. Movie and Screen shots. Corsair Its real easy.
Try it out and tell me you like it.

does it affect your FPS very much? On a good day I only run around 25-30 frames, I don't need a resource heavy program running in the background.

I"m afraid it does. But try it out anyway. You can always uninstall it.

Please check my original post. I have updated it.


I hope I have been helpful

Am downloading it.


However if I want to make Nachtjagd gun camera shoots I'll stick with the animation program and IrfanVeiw most likely instead of a FRAPS video. That way it will look like it's from WW2.

Thanks for the link James and Bear!


Happy flying,

Hey I would like to have both this programs. Where can I get the IrfanVeiw and the animation program. That would really ehance our CFS experience.


Thank you

I'm really looking forward for your new campaign.

i've had FRAPS! before, and it never affected my frames at all, i had it taking a movie frame every 1/4 of a second, and with CFS2 at 35fps and it was fine. dunno why it hurts urs though.
