REVIEW "Fabio Merlo Flight Control Replay PRO EDITION" Buyer BEWARE

Just bought it a while ago and just uninstalled it.
The worst 14€ i have ever spent on an addon.I saw the pro add and fell for it.The only pro ellement it has,it’s the ability to make it look good as a product.
Smooth replay?No stutters? Yeah right…
Easy UI ? Yeah right.
Not to mention when you open the options tab,it never opens as a whole and can’t click on things properly.
Anyways,i kinda knew it and i just gave it a try due to the sale.
There is also a bug that freezes the free camera inside the cockpit,while the app is connected to the sim.I can’t see how this is able to make someone work with the app.I thought it had to do with the sims control save bug and it made me delete some of my profiles🤬
Anyway,the app needs a lot of work before asking for money.I wish good luck
I’ll stick with the awesome freeware “flight recorder”

The things a simmer will do,for a replay…
Guys,i took the fall for you all.Don’t fall for it.

EDIT
Of course Sim Market,didn’t publish my review :joy::joy:

Sorry man but in Sim Market,all the users reviews say bad things,The only ones saying something good,are 3 on top of the review page,which they belong to pro utubers etc.

What i say,is very simple.I open the options tab and never opens as a proper window so i can’t close it after.
That video rendering option you say?There is nowhere to be seen.It just replays the flight just as the freeware with all the stop and go microstuttering which we know it happens and your product claims it doesn’t do it
Once it also broke the sim.I press stop and it doesn’t stops.I press restart flight and the sim starts the flight in midair with the aeroplane not being able to move like it is paused in the replay,
None of your commercial features are in there.It is a major pain,instead of something good.
It is unacceptable that those 2 freeware that already exist,are so friendly and trustworthy,and your payware isn’t
No hate but i am kinda angry for my money,.,.,

Sorry ! I know that are no personal ! Don’t worry ! :wink: I m here to help you to get all things working ! Btw I have 4 stars to simmarket …

Video rendering option there is (little button along above the big red button ) , but please read readme pdf and here you ll find all things to install for make it works . Anyway I hope that video tutorials that you find in YouTube explain well all things . Obviously you are using MsFs version of fcr located in flightcontrolreplaymsfs folder right ?

Do you can let me know the error you have when you open dialog of options ?

Thanks

1 i use the exe as written in pdf.Inside the folder and yes,obviously mfs version
2 There is no erros.The window just won’t open as a whole.It opens with the upper part being hidden in the screen and i can’t press X to close it properly
3 The red button does nothing.It always says that there is no sim working,while the sim is already up and running obviously


Hi !

This is the completely wrong version ! This is version for FSX !!!

Version for MSFS is in Flightcontrolreplaymsfs folder !!! The version you show me is ONLY FOR FSX !

Worry not…it is ALL THE SAME AGAIN !
Anyways…i will get back to you shortly cause yesterday,i was using the correct one.It just today that out of my nerves,i screenshot the wrong one.
However,you seem like an ok guy.I will try it one more time now that i installed it again,but that will be the last one.
If i’m mistaken,i will change the review

Yes !! Thank you so much ! You don’t see the save button in the bottom right because maybe you need go with mouse at the bottom and try enlarge the window . Please try this and you ll see the “save” button !

Please write me in pvt for support and I ll help you otherwise moderator kill me because we are using this forum for support . After if all will goes well you can change the forum title and review !!! Thank you so much for your help!

So…Final verdict.
The addon,is indeed NOT working as i thought.
However,the DEV seems to be the nicest guy ever and he is so kind to refund me (remains to be seen though)

Sorry.I really wanted for this to work as i am a content creator myself.

EDIT
The DEV refunded me and i give him credit for that.
I will change a little the review cause he is a nice guy

Thanks for all fabio

I’m with you on this… The replay was almost a slide show on my RTX 2060 Super. The free Sky Dolly does pretty much the same and works flawlessly…

Sadly it’s true

@Kartijno Great support, and great patience.

If a user downloads and installs the wrong version of a product, for a different sim, it’s hardly the developer’s fault it does not run correctly.

While I have no idea how well the App works (when installed correctly) I 100% agree with the solution - Refund and everyone moves on … :wink:

What a Polite Gentleman. We will look at your Software and also look at other Reviews before we make a Purchase. Thanks Fabio and Kind Regards from us.

The app has one install,in a folder with 3 versions for mfs,fsx and p3d whatever.
I just took the wrong screenshot out of frustration.
Don’t try to start something that isnt there

Once again, its the USER making all the mistakes, NOT the developer …

Mistakes happen, but do not blame the developer for your own mistakes …
Not Cool Dude !!

Well,that’s the thing now.
The site Sim Market didn’t publish my review.It has a “strange” filter…That’s why i came here.Things,need to be seen !
However,this gentleman,is indeed one in a million.
He did however achknowlegde of a bug that freezes the free camera in game
It needs to be completed as an app,before asking for money.That’s the point.

We clearly have no understanding and i stop here before things go sideways
