Hello,

Little behind-the-scene post, so you have a glimpse of the time and work process I have gone through during the last weeks before the release of my last update for FlightControlReplay with the accurate animations reproduction of PMDG and Fenix airliners in MSFS.

When you want to retrieve information from advanced airliners programmed with thousands of lines of code, there are different manners, different ways to catch them. And each method needs its investigation time, its time to initiate the draft, tests, and corrections.

After that, the party has started : the code needs to be completed to reach all targets, with surroundings, with potential issues identified and fixed.

In a programming project, never under estimate the external issues that you will try to avoid or eliminate. For this case, I could not ensure that all hardware, all flight controls units of the market, would work flawlessly with the advanced animations of complex airliners. I just don’t own them all, of course, but my Beta testers team enlarge the scope clearly.

All these different steps didn’t even include the final stage of wrapping the build, and the necessary work of explaining and communicating about the update content to the users community.

Maybe such post details a bit more the quite long process before you actually get your gear and flaps actually working in a replay of MSFS when the aircraft add-on is among the most realistic available designed upon custom code.

The following content creators know how to work out of the box too with really nice and innovative stuff, with one point in common : they use FlightControlReplay !

Hello,

You can use FlightControlReplay to interact and have a look at the AI traffic generated by MSFS, or generated by PlayAsAI feature of FCR tool.

In FCR options, make sure that the last option “Enable / Record Multi Objects at the same time” is ticked to make it activated. This way, FCR can detect and lets you Cycle view / Record / Replay the different active aircraft : your own aircraft as user, the AI Traffic, or other models injected in the simulator by PlayAsAI from FCR to generate ghosts for a Flying Formation !

When this option is activated, 2 changes can be seen in the User Interface.

  1. Click on the Record Button calls a new Window to select here one or multiple aircraft to follow and record.
  2. Click on the Load button and a similar Window is displayed for the same purpose : to let you select one or several aircraft available in the recorded situation.

Use the last button on the far right on the User Interface of FlightControlReplay to cycle view between the different aircraft that you selected.

Use the orange button that is just beside on its left, to take / leave control of the aircraft currently selected and displayed on your screen. Yes, this means that you can control and fly an AI aircraft. Click again on this button to leave the control to FlightControlReplay and all aircraft and their respective settings return in line with the recorded values from the Replay situation.

If you want to try that a bit later, watch now some videos produced by experienced content creators !

My only issue with this tool is that it freezes the sim for ~10s when I click record. Thats suboptimal when flying in vatsim. what is the freezing causing?

The UK PC Pilot magazine reviews v5 (not 4.5) of this software. Does anyone know when v5 is due out?

Here is a thread on the new version:

And here you can buy it:

What’s more: it’s even on DISCOUNT at the moment!

I have long missed the ability to save flights in MSFS 2020 in flight. This would be such a useful function for many things – recovery from a CTD; interrupting long trips; practicing ILS landings at a specific airport, etc.

It looked as though the FlightControlReplay program would provide the answer. So, I purchased and downloaded the program but unfortunately have not been able to install it to work properly.

I can get it to load into the MSFSF 2020 on-screen tool bar but when I click on its icon, it opens a black window and not the program. The attached screen shot shows this situation. I have consulted with the author to no avail and if I cannot get it to work will have to seek a refund. Has anyone experienced this problem and found a solution?

Your help would be greatly appreciated.
