    FRAPS no longer recording in OR 27XX and beyond?

    Hello everyone,

    I recently updated OR from 2694 to 2727, but apparently FRAPS will no longer record footage from the simulator. The framerate overlay no longer appears in OR's activity runner, and when the key to record is pressed FRAPS will not record anything. Checking the "monitor Aero Desktop" feature results in the software recording the audio but showing only a black screen. In essence, the recorder no longer thinks the Activity Runner is a game.

    It still records from all my other games, and even from applications such as Shape Viewer.

    Anyone know what's going on? All help is greatly appreciated.

    EDIT: My version of FRAPS when I discovered the bug was 3.5.8, however it still happens with 3.5.99, the latest official version. I do have the full version of the application.

      Hi Otto!

      I found that if I started FRAPS with OR running I did not see the FRAPS frame rate display and no screen capture was possible.

      If I first started FRAPS and then started OR I did see the FRAPS frame rate display and screen capture worked as it normally had in MSTS.

      My FRAPS version is 3.5.6 Build 15318.

            I used "C" for captures. I don't have any OR controls bound to that key either.
