Sky Dolly - best replay tool yet (IMHO)

This is one of my absolute favourite tools in MSFS. I am not a complex user of the utility: just basic flight recording and playback for recording video. My typical work flow is:

  • Do the flight of which I want to create a video while recording with Sky Dolly
  • Replay the flight with Sky Dolly while recording the screen using nVidia GeForce Experience. I find that GeForce Experience does great 3840 x 2160 screen video capture without significantly (or even noticeably!) affecting performance. I use Sky Dolly to scrub backwards and forwards in the replay and using different camera angles. I consider this one of the toughest tasks for a replay tool and I have found Sky Dolly to be pretty much bullet proof in doing this.
  • Once done, I edit the video using Adobe Premiere Elements.

My flights are generally simple, as are my edited videos with no fancy commentary or elaborate edits. For this I find Sky Dolly 100% perfect. The edited 3840 x 2160 30fps videos are absolutely smooth and stable and pin sharp.

FWIW: a video flying the GotGravel Vertigo through the Mach Loop that I did yesterday:

Well done and thank you @Steeler2340
