Wishlist for features of built-in replay functionality

Some suggestions:

  • Allow all camera tracks to be exported as .MP4 files. It would be much easier to have every track in a video editor and use that to switch between tracks.
  • Ability to edit a sequence and remove unwanted parts. The easiest way to use this tool would be to record the entire flight, and at the end decide which parts you want to use. This would be preferable to recording individual sequences during the flight.
  • Instead of having arrows obliging you to cycle through all of the camera tracks to find the one that you want, display them in a panel so that you click directly on the one you need.
  • Allow the timeline to be nudged with keyboard keys rather than dragged with the mouse.
  • Make it possible to scrub through a not-currently-selected camera track. Currently, if you try to view the sequence using another track, it returns to the selected track as soon as you click play.
  • Update this document, especially 5.1. It’s not clear what is expected. As far as I can see, as soon as you click record, you have created a new track for the entire flight, even if you click stop immediately after you click start. This tool really needs a video to explain all of the functionality and how the features are intended to be used. YouTubers each seem to have evolved their own idiosyncratic way of using small parts of the available functionality.
  • In the same document, under Known Issues, we have “No camera recording in VR mode”. That supposedly refers to part 7 of the tutorial, but part 7of the tutorial has nothing to do with VR. I was able to record a sequence and tracks in VR, but the instruments in the cockpit don’t move.
