Do you fly in your sleep?

Posts: 4

Hello all.  I'm conducting some psychological research at a UK university.  I'm looking at how flight performance is affected by lack of sleep, and how those effects might be overcome by using commercially available stimulants, such as caffeine.  I have purchased both FS2002, and 2004 and am now ready to extract some juicy data.  Specifically, I want to be able to numerically record an aircraft's altitude, attitude, heading and airspeed, every two seconds, for about 2 minutes during a simple "straight-and-level" manoeuvre.   Do either of my FSs have the facility to produce this information post-flight?  Ideally by way of a list of raw data.  Or do I have to video my participants' performance, replay the video, and pause every two seconds recording the data from the various cockpit instruments?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you hit "End Flight", then "View Flight Analysis", there is a lot of flight information there. I hope this helps.
 

I finally used a dictionary to spell my name right.

What you need is one of the screen print programs that takes a screen grab every few seconds (The time can be altered to suit).

If you PM Hagar... I think he knows of one.

Once you have that installed and running simultaniously then its just a case of hitting SHIFT+Z so that the flight info is shown on the screen.

You should also ask in the 2004 forum ... but I'm sure someone will come up with a more comprehensive answer for you.

cheers

Sorry. I don't remember this one at all. I don't think MultiGrab has that option. It's the only screengrab utility I use.

It gets us all in the end. Now you know how I feel most of the time. Tongue Wink
