Hello FCR community,

I can now give you more details on the anticipated Autumn Update for FlightControlReplay.

It's 100% based upon your requests and suggestions :
- NEW Record and Replay MSFS AI Planes : we detect the AI Traffic aircraft flying or taxiing around, you can now follow them to make videos and replay their operation.
- NEW KML File Import : select the track of a real flight in Google Earth format, and load this in FCR to replay the flight in your simulator
- More algorithm improvements for accurate events reproduction : even smoother animations of the mobile parts and of the aircraft evolution in movement.

Hi everybody,

This week we've had a fun time with Flying Fabio, the popular flight simulation streamer and experienced pilot during a Live Show streamed on Twitch. I was also there in the chat to answer questions of other users at the same time.

He discovered live the tool features, digged the manual and product introduction. Then, he tried bits of Replay, Rewind and Re-live with some funny moments, flying different aircraft in various sceneries.

The show can be replayed Offline now at Twitch to dig into FlightControlReplay for your videos creativity and Replay of your simming adventures :

Hello everybody !

This weekend, I would like to highlight the extensive features of my tool FlightControlReplay to show a bit more of the backside of it. These explain why the replay system is so much appreciated and accurate.

FCR is like an delete this post with as many as sensors as the cute animal has suction cups : and it records a lot of aircraft settings during your flight. Actually, FlightControlReplay records more than just you aircraft position and path. It retrieves also the smoke effects, the doors status, the flight flaps and slats position, engines RPM / N1 / Combustion and even throttle lever position (useful for cockpit interior videos..), level of fuel in tanks etc

Now you have a better idea of the accuracy that you can expect with FlightControlReplay.

This week, the tool has been introduced in Avion Revue International, a press magazine for the Spanish speaking world oriented to professional pilots, companies and simmers. https://www.avionrevue.com/

Hello,

Did you know that during Replay, FlightControlReplay allows the user to display in-game dynamic text. You can write Notes at any point in a Replay loaded in FCR.

How do you achieve that ? Click on the Yellow Slider during a Replay, to pause the Replay, and a Dynamic Text button appears below. It allows you to click on Edit or Delete buttons, in order to create, modify or delete Notes. These Notes will be visible in FCR User Interface, and also in the Simulator window that plays the Replay. Dynamic Text can be customized via FCR. In the options, the dialog box can customize the duration of display in
Seconds, Text Font Type and Text Color.

Hi,

I’ll introduce one by one and with more in depth details the incoming features of Autumn Update for FlightControlReplay.

Let’s start first with AI Planes Record and Replay for P3D and MSFS AI traffic. This NEW feature detects the AI Traffic aircraft flying or taxiing around, and you can now follow them to make videos and replay their operation.

FCR gets in realtime which airplane is near you. FCR maincode optimization allow the users to choose which AI airplanes they want to record. You can choose multiple planes and record all of them toghether !

The users can also Replay all recorded planes using one FCR instance and load MULTIPLE flights at one time.

More details on this feature will be show in next Teaser video of FCR Autumn Update !

Autumn Update release date is planned on October 24th 2021.

Hello everybody,

In three weeks, FlightControlReplay will receive another FREE update with new features, and further improvement to the Algorithm that we'll detail in a future post.
Today, I'll introduce the second NEW content added to the tool, in next Autumn Update : KML file Import.

KML files are geographic data that can be displayed in Earth browser, like Google Earth. And in our hobby, it can be interesting to plot your flight path and export it to Google Earth. FlightControlReplay already does this !

With the upcoming Autumn Update, we'll allow you to reverse the process. For example with Flight Aware web service, you can export the actual flight path of a commercial airliner as a KML file. Then, you will load it into FlightControlReplay and you can watch the real life flight performed in your simulator !

For now, the current development progress confirms that it's fully working with MSFS. And we are now investigating on P3D compatibility as well. Stay tuned !

Hello everybody,

Next weekend, I will deploy the Autumn Update, another set of enhancements and new features for FlightControlReplay that will be detailed soon.

Meawhile, do not miss other existing features in the tool that can be very useful

1. Always On Top overlay option
2. Continous Loop playing option (MSFS & P3D)

The first item Always On Top ensures that FCR user interface always remain on top, above all the current windows you may have open. If you switch from the simulator to FCR to adjust the view and back to FCR to control the replay or to edit the recording options, you don't have to look for the tasks bar or to strike ALT+Tab windows shortcut neither. Just point and click to navigate between the windows in order to select the active area.

In the other hand, Continous Loop activates the auto-loop to replay the active flight video without stop, until you decide so. Quite funny if you have experienced an awkward moment or a funny event that you want to repeat several times.

Hi,

We are still working on Autumn Update at the time I'm writing this. The Beta team has started the tests procedure yesterday, so you can guess that the public release will be slightly delayed.

This is also because I have been hard at work to make the KML File Import (new feature in Autumn Update) compatible with P3D. For now, it's fully working with MSFS and I reached Lockheed Martin staff to expand this feature usability, allowing to import a flight path - for example from a real life flight of FlightAware - into FlightControlReplay.

My apologies for not meeting the deadline that was announced earlier but that's also the hazardous prediction in program development.

So now, we're processing the last Beta tests, packing up the user manual necessary changes and communication items to be ready only in a few days : October Sunday 31 !
