FSrecorder- Doesnt record Helos?

[Timmo]

I tried to do some recordings last night in FSX for the 'Soviets are Invading' thread....fired up a chopper did a bit of a flight and then tried to play it as traffic- Didnt work

Changed to a fixed wing aircraft and did the same thing which worked fine. Anyone else have this problem??

It is a problem everyone has. Creator2003 has found a way around it though- see this thread: http://nzff.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4571
