FlightControlReplay V5 for MSFS

AviationLads published a retrospective video of various promotional clips that they made in 2022 and that impacted a lot in the flightsim community : aircraft, sceneries, even virtual airlines partnered with the video producer to showcase spectacular features and visuals.

All these videos were recorded with the steady help of my tool FlightControlReplay. As you can see, it is also used by professional and content creators because it’s well loaded with unique features, and it supports many other addons with specific code like the advanced airliners of PMDG 737, Fenix A320, iniBuilds A310, Just Flight 146 Professional, Cabri G2 and Bell 207 Helicopters.

I hope you enjoy this trailer for memories of 2022 fantastic releases.

Hi,

In order to facilitate your use of FlightControlReplay, you may consider the following options :

In Options General tab: Activate the feature “Automatically LOAD Replay after RECORD” : you don’t need to search and manually load the last recorded flight, it is instantly ready for replay when you stop the record.

In Options General tab: Activate the feature “Start recording automatically if you fly”, then select below and specify the altitude 2,000 feet to autostart the recording session for the next flights, everytime you descend below the altitude of 2,000 a new record will be saved without need to pause, touch and setup FlightControlReplay !

In Options Audio tab : Activate the Voice Recognition to control record and play actions. The list of available controls are detailed in the User manual.

This feature is not working for me. It never starts recording, and as long as you leave a checkmark in it’s box it will not allow you to manually start the recording either, until you uncheck the feature. Please advise.

Hi !

For use this feature remember to check the option but bot only . For activate it please Check also RECORD button . In that way record will not start until your condition is satisfied .

Tried that too, but did not work for me. I entered a few different altitudes as well, such as 700, 500 and also 300. Was not able to find a way to get it to start recording automatically on my end.

Edit** - perhaps this is because I do not have the “run as administrator” checked? My username is already an admin but I will check this as soon as I can and report back.

Is there a shortcut key that can be set to start and end recording? Such as “R”…press once to start and then press again to stop? Would be nice to have this, and also a beep sound just to let us know when recording has begun and stopped.

**UPDATE:
Ok, so it works now I’ve run it as administrator… but I have found that the auto-record feature will only work once for your first landing, not again for a new 2nd landing you perform, unless you “disconnect” the recorder from the sim after you are done with the 1st recording and then “connect” again, press record again and then it will continue to auto-record once below your desired alt again.

***Another UPDATE: Well, truthfully the “auto record” feature is flaky and unreliable at best as it only works half the time. Even after disconnecting/reconnecting it often will either not record at all, or it will record too late at the wrong altitude. Needs to be fixed so it’s reliable…the altitude should be in feet above ground level. Also the key shortcuts do not work. I changed the record key to “R”…but it never works for me.

Sorry for leaving comments here like this but your support email that you’ve posted here gets no response, for me. I emailed it a couple days ago without any reply.

Hi !

Thank you for your notification ! I m testing right now and the connection & disconnection issue will be solved in next update ! for support please use official forum , otherwise moderators kills me ! :wink:

Hi,

New users of FlightControlReplay5 decided to upgrade from the previous version 4.5 for the latest airliners add-ons support, or to have the Cinematic Replay, or the new User Interface look with multiple sizes.

But not of all them were aware that the first change comes even before you actually start using FlightControlReplay.

The setup is now also easier and faster compared to the old tool :

  • for MSFS users : it’s all included in 1 automatic setup. No more separate codec, or Windows additional service to download and install. Just run the setup and GO.
  • for P3D users : things are also simplified as much as I could do. You start the same and single automatic setup and then remain only 2 Microsoft separate packages that are required. They are free to download for Windows of course, and nothing special is required during their install, so it’s not a big deal.

As you can see, for most users, in MSFS, FlightControlReplay 5 is a new experience since the beginning. So if you have the old tool version 4.5, get rid of this and upgrade now !

Hello,

FlightControlReplay v5 for MSFS now compatible with JustFlight FSTraffic

Today we are proud to announce that FlightControlReplay v5 has been updated with its new build 2302.3 to be compatible with Just Flight FS Traffic for Microsoft Flight Simulator.

Thanks to the joined efforts of Just Flight and FlightControlTools made, FS Traffic and FlightControlReplay v5 work together as of now !

Both products run at the same time and the User can choose to record a FS Traffic AI planes (by activating this feature in FCR menu Options)

By doing so, User can record the AI traffic in the surroundings of his current position.

After the recording session, if the User wants to Replay the FSTraffic AI, he can Load the Replay file as PLAYAI and can move the initial position of the objects (giving an offset).

If User wants to fly with the recorded FS Traffic AI as User Plane, he can do that by loading Replay as Standard User Plane Replay. More info if necessary in the AI Traffic section of the user manual.

In that way you can Relive an AI Traffic flight in the virtual cockpit !

Hi,

Whatever are your Replay intentions, FlightControlReplay 5 is the only tool for MSFS that can suit wide needs for different simmers :

  • ENJOY your aircraft animations and visuals from an exterior view after you performed the flight
  • REVIEW the flight path and your pilot skills during the full flight or a part of it
  • SECURE your experience, take advantage of the potential restore feature. FlightControlReplay 5 can replace your aircraft in its last known position in case of crash to desktop so you can resume your flight without need to restart everything from the origin airport.

Youtuber videos of this last week illustrate well these options when you have FlightControlReplay 5.

Glad to see that some people can get this app to work, I never could and support was basically non existent, essentially I was told “i’m not seeing that problem”.

OK I accept that not every issue is a dev fault but I still have never got this app to work and got little help when I asked for it. Now have given up on FCR and am using either the freeware stuff or the inbuilt replay function which seems to do the job.

I m so sorry that you don’t had answer! Sorry for that ! If you want help I m very happy help you . Se d me an email and I help you ! I try my best help all people ask me questions

Hello,

In case that you have a registered copy of FlightControlReplay 4.5, you can have the new Version 5 with its numerous new features and improvements for a reduced price.

FCR5 is a new tool developed during several months of work, and brings a total new experience of Replay for MSFS and P3D5 : modern, efficient and creative.

Instead of the full price like a new customer, the price is reduced to EUR 8.25 (excl. VAT), less than a half of the price. And, if you sum up what you paid for FCR4.5 + this upgrade, you don’t pay more than a new user AND you have been able to use the previous software for a few months already.

Even harder discount : for those of you who got FCR 4.5 in its last months of availability, the price is dropped down to EUR 5.00 only (excl. VAT). That’s pretty cheap considering the numerous list of features, the list of compatible addons that require custom code programming and you have your hands on one of the best sellers for MSFS.

Hello,

can someone help me with a tip how to make PlayAI smooth (i.e. not jerky), please?

Initially I thought that the jerkiness (especially when close to the recorded AI plane) was caused by fluctuating FPS when recording vs when playing as AI. I was recording in VR and replaying also in VR.

So I tried to record and replay as AI in 2D which allowed me to cap FPS at 45. I was also recording at 45 FPS per second. Like that - when MSFS FPS stable at 45 and equal to recording at 45 FPS, I expected smooth PlayAI experience but no. Again, the AI plane was jerky and overall not smooth.

I got a better result when MSFS capped at 45 FPS and recording at 90 FPS but still the PlayAI experience was far from smooth when close to the AI plane.

I mean, already when recording at 45 FPS sounds to me as sufficient amount of data points per second (45 per second !).

Maybe I am doing something wrong. So I’d appreciate any help / tip how to improve the PlayAI experience.

Thanks :+1:
