[RELEASE] MSFS24 | MSFS20 | FlightControlTools | FlightControlReplay V6 | Tools | Payware

Kartijno · June 17, 2026, 11:57am

Hi everyone,

Following FlightSimExpo 2026 and our FSElite stage presentation, I’m happy to officially share more about the future of FlightControlTools — especially FlightControlReplay V6.

Here’s the preview trailer :

Version 6 is planned for release toward the end of July 2026, and it will be the biggest evolution ever made to the FlightControlReplay series.

This is not just a visual refresh.
It is a deep redesign of the complete utility for MSFS 2024 and MSFS 2020, built around one objective:

Make replay creation faster, smarter, more cinematic, and more immersive.

Over the past months, development has focused on:

• A completely redesigned User Interface
• New cinematic technologies
• A smarter replay system
• AI traffic tracking
• Better tools for creators, pilots, and replay analysis

Some of the major features planned for FlightControlReplay V6 include:

• Redesigned User Interface
A cleaner and faster workflow, with easier access to features, options, sliders, and creative controls.

• New Cinematic Mode
Unrestricted camera movements for movie-style captures, smoother transitions, dynamic tracking shots, and sweeping airport scenes directly inside the simulator.

• New Fly-By Cameras in Live Flight
Fly-By Camera will no longer be limited to recorded replay sessions.
You will be able to use it during live flight phases such as takeoff, approach, landing, cruise, and taxi operations, with adjustable distance, zoom, and viewing angles.

• AI Traffic Tracking
Track nearby AI traffic in real time and create more alive, active, and realistic airport scenes.

• Automatic Highlights
FlightControlReplay V6 will detect important moments of your flight, such as takeoffs, landings, sharp manoeuvres, and key events, while helping skip long inactive cruise periods.

• Enhanced Custom Replay for Add-On Aircraft
Further work is being done to improve replay behaviour with complex third-party aircraft.

• Flight Analysis Logs and Charts
Review useful flight data such as speed, vertical speed, pitch, and bank angle after your flight.

Registered users of FlightControlReplay 5 will receive a reduced upgrade price for Version 6.
I really want to reward the users who have supported FlightControlReplay over the years. Your feedback and support have helped shape this next step.

During FlightSimExpo, I also presented the recently released FlightControlSpotter V2 Fly-By Update, which introduced:

• Fly-By Camera for user aircraft
• Fly-By Camera for AI Traffic aircraft tracking
• Fixed SpotView Camera with drone controls
• Save and load drone camera positions

That update is already available free of charge for existing FlightControlSpotter users, via SIMMARKET.com of Microsoft Marketplace.

More details about FlightControlReplay V6, the final feature set, and the upgrade pricing will be shared closer to release.

Thank you again for your support, your feedback, and your passion for flight simulation.

Version 6 is a major step forward for FlightControlTools — and I’m very excited to bring it to you.

Here’s the full 10 minutes video presentation including the trailer and the feature details

FlightControlReplay 6 – Final Approach!

The countdown is on! Following its impressive preview at FSExpo 2026, FlightControlReplay 6 is now on final approach, with release expected later this month for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 and 2020.

If you’ve been waiting to take your replays, cinematic videos, and flight analysis to the next level, this is shaping up to be the biggest update in the history of FlightControlReplay.

Expected highlights include:

Completely redesigned user interface
Brand-new Cinematic Mode with unrestricted camera movement
Live Fly-By Camera for takeoff, cruise, approach, landing, and taxi
AI Traffic tracking
Automatic Highlights generation
Enhanced flight analysis and replay tools
Faster workflows built for pilots and content creators alike

The preview demonstrations have generated plenty of excitement across the flight simulation community, and many simmers are now eagerly waiting for the official release date and pricing details.

We’re getting ready.

How many of you will be upgrading to FlightControlReplay 6 on day one? Which new feature are you looking forward to the most?

Kartijno · July 11, 2026, 8:09pm

Waiting for the User Manual like…

As FlightControlReplay 6 moves toward its release later this month, work is progressing on an essential final step: the User Manual.

More than a simple quick-start guide, it will walk you through:

Installation and first launch
The brand-new User Interface
The main changes and new features
Detailed explanations of features, options and their operation

While I am waiting for the manual to be completed before preparing the Release Candidate, development hasn’t slowed down. The remaining time is being used to polish every aspect of the application: improving communication between FlightControlReplay 6 features and the Microsoft Flight Simulator core engine, fine-tuning already implemented functions, and integrating additional enhancements for both the default MSFS aircraft and third-party aircraft add-ons.

The task list is shrinking fast, with every completed item bringing FlightControlReplay 6 one step closer to release.

Stay tuned—it’s getting close.

FlightControlReplay 6 — Feature Spotlight: Cinematic Mode

FlightControlReplay 6 is out — and this week, we’re taking a closer look at one of its biggest new features: Cinematic Mode.

NEW — Cinematic Production

Turn your MSFS flights into professional-style aviation videos with the new Cinematic Mode.

Choose between Automatic Mode for quick, ready-to-use cinematic sequences, or take full control and build your own dynamic camera movements.

Create complex camera sequences using:

Wing Reveal
Wing Sweep
Orbit
UpDown360
And many additional automated camera movements

Combine different movements to create smooth, dynamic sequences around your aircraft — from dramatic wing passes to sweeping exterior shots and 360° orbital views.

Whether you’re creating a flight video, capturing a landing, showcasing an aircraft add-on, or simply looking at your flight from a different perspective, Cinematic Mode gives you a new way to direct the action.

FlightControlReplay 6 is available now for MSFS 2024 and MSFS 2020.

FlightControlReplay 6 — Weekly Feature Spotlight

LIVE FLY-BY CAMERA

One of the biggest changes in FCR6: Fly-By Camera is now available LIVE at any point during your flight.

No prior recording. No replay required.

Activate Fly-By Camera and instantly step outside the cockpit to watch your own aircraft from realistic spotting positions.

Taxi on the ground
Watch your takeoff
Follow your landing
Capture a low pass
Observe your aircraft during cruise
Follow nearby AI traffic

Control the experience

Use + / - directly in Fly-By mode to change the camera distance from your aircraft.

Open “…” for additional settings:

— Camera Distance
Set the distance between the camera and aircraft. 0.05 NM is a good starting point.

— Camera Position
Choose the camera angle around the aircraft:
Positive angles = right side
Negative angles = left side

— Max Distance Before Camera Change
Control how far the aircraft travels before the camera moves to its next fixed position.

Lower value = more frequent camera changes
Higher value = longer Fly-By sequences

The result: realistic spotting-style sequences that can be created instantly during the flight, without recording a replay beforehand.

FlightControlReplay 6 is available now at simMARKET for MSFS 2024 & MSFS 2020.

FlightControlReplay 6 — Weekly Feature Spotlight: Re-Live Instant Replay

This week, we’re highlighting one of the most popular features in the FlightControlReplay series: Re-Live Instant Replay.

Because it is one of the most requested features among FlightControlReplay users, Re-Live is enabled by default in FlightControlReplay 6.

The idea is simple: Life made easy.

What is Re-Live?

Re-Live is your Instant Replay.

While you are flying, FlightControlReplay continuously stores the most recent moments of your flight in memory. This means that when something interesting happens, you can instantly go back and watch it again — without interrupting your flight session.

Maybe you just completed:

A smooth landing
A challenging approach
A low pass
An aerobatic manoeuvre
Or simply a moment worth seeing again

Just activate Re-Live and replay the latest moments of your flight.

Once the replay has finished, you can instantly return to the cockpit, resume control of your aircraft, and continue your flight.

No preparation required

There is no need to start recording a replay before the event.

With Re-Live enabled by default, FlightControlReplay 6 is continuously ready to capture the latest moments of your current flight.

Fly. Something happens. Re-Live it. Continue flying.

You can find a more detailed explanation of the Re-Live feature and its settings in the FlightControlReplay 6 manual.

FlightControlReplay 6 Tutorials

We are also sharing a couple of recent videos from the community.

FlightControlReplay 6 – First Update v2608.25 Released

FlightControlTools has released the first update for FlightControlReplay 6, improving replay compatibility and overall stability.

What’s fixed in v2608.25

Fixed PMDG replay
Fixed Horizon Simulations 787-9 replay
Fixed an Instant Replay issue
Fixed a potential Crash To Desktop
Fixed Robinson R66 helicopter replay

The update continues to improve compatibility across different aircraft categories, from complex airliners to helicopter operations.

More than a standard replay

FlightControlReplay 6 is designed as a dedicated flight recording, replay, analysis and cinematic production environment.

Version 6 introduces major tools including:

Re-Live Instant Replay to relive recent moments of your current flight without interrupting the session
Live Fly-By Camera
Advanced camera and cinematic production tools
Automatic Highlights
Flight Analysis and detailed logs
A redesigned and streamlined interface

MSFS 2024 includes its own free embedded replay feature, but FlightControlReplay 6 goes significantly further with dedicated tools for recording, analysing and producing cinematic content from your flights.

Whether you want to check a landing, replay an approach, analyse your flight or create a cinematic sequence, FlightControlReplay 6 gives you a dedicated workflow built around those tasks.

FlightControlReplay 6 + FlightControlSpotter Bundle

The FlightControlReplay 6 + FlightControlSpotter bundle is also available, combining advanced flight replay tools with virtual traffic and aircraft spotting capabilities.

FlightControlReplay 6 v2608.25 is available now as a free update for all FCR6 users.
