[Flightgear-devel] Repeated image capture

Is there any way to do a repeated image capture in FG? I have thought about a few things, but none seems to work how I want. I would like to build a movie, and would start out by just saving snapshots, then, after I am done, building up the movie. I thought that I might be able to write a simple s

Nope, I just missed it in my email (as I missed the "n" in Unknown as well), not in my actual test. But, good thought. It does seem strange to me that the option shows in the verbose help, but gives an unknown option error when I try it. By the way, I am using version 0.9.8 right now. Thanks,

I think the old implementation has some features that the new one is missing. Of course the new one is better integrated with FG, so that's a big plus. I'd leave them both for now. On a related note, I seem to recall MS having some patents on cloud rendering. They had an article in game developer
