Recording Flight for formation practice

Post by bise97 »

Is there a way in P3D to record your flight and then replay it back into the world as a separate aircraft?

Here's the scenario:
I have students who practice formation flying but sometimes they dont have the same schedules or we only have 1 student available. I want to record a generic profile flying and then have that saved into P3D so my students can practice flying formation off that recording

Is this possible?

Hi bise97,

Yes, this can be accomplished in Prepar3D.

1. Create a simulation recording of the aircraft.

2. Using SimDirector to create your scenario, add a PlayFlightRecordingAction object that references the recorded file. You will need a Trigger object to define when the recording should begin and also add the reference aircraft (Airplace object) to the scenario.
