Hello, I bought Flight Control Replay 5 and had a few questions about using it. 1) I am unable to select many of the keys on my keyboard for the shortcut tab. For example I am unable to select my arrow keys for any of the options, is this something that can be incorporated into the software? 2) Would it be possible to allow users to scroll the progress bar? Currently the only way to manipulate this with the mouse is to pause the playback then grab the circle with a cursor. The Skydolly has a nicer operation where I can scroll back without pausing the playback and allows the user to manipulate the progress by just scrolling the mouse wheel while hovering over the progress bar. This would be nice if we could do this so we don't have to mess with keyboard shortcuts or pausing the playback. 3) When I reach the end of the replay and want to resume the flight, what is the best way to get back into the live flight where I have control of the plane? Is the best way to hit the stop button or the takecontrol button? Thank you

Wow, I totally missed that large detail and selected the wrong control as you pointed out. Got it corrected and have it working now in the sim. Thanks for all your patience and help! Adam

Attached is the .ini and what I believe is the complete log. It's showing the lua being killed but I'm unsure why. Thanks! FSUIPC7.ini FSUIPC7.log

Hi John, Thank you for the lua suggestion, this looks exactly what I've been searching for all these years! I've got it in my sim however it doesn't seem to be functioning to trigger the brakes. I will post my log and .ini in the OP that provided the lua. Thanks again for this incredible suggestion! Adam

Hi John, Thanks for the reply. I was able to figure out how to do exactly what you mentioned in the .ini file yesterday and spent about 8-9 hours trying to tune the brakes to a suitable strength. The results were a bit underwhelming due to the ground physics of MSFS and not FSUIPC. Is there a way I can program the key assigned to the brake axis to engage in 2 or 3 staged intensities based on how long I hold the brake key? For example setting the brakes to trigger at values -3000, -6000, -10000. Initial value when key is pressed = -3000 Second value when key is held for .5 seconds = -6000 Third value when key is held for .5 seconds more = -10000 Something like this might make a world of a difference for me while impatiently wait for MSFS to re-write the ground physics modeling 🙂 Thanks, Adam

I believe I figured out how to do this, Set the keyboard key to the Right axis brake, parameter about 4000, and 0 for the parameter upon key release. ...last step is trying to figure out how to assign the left axis brake to the same exact button. I believe I will need to edit the ini manually to accomplish this.

Hello, I have a practical application of this functionality - mapping an axis to a button press - that I have been trying to solve for a couple years and would appreciate any help. I fly without rudder pedals and use a button press for ground braking. I find the brakes incedibly too strong, or way too weak when using a button for braking in MSFS. Is there a way I can map a button my keyboard to left and right brake axis that meet the following conditions: 1) When button is pressed the brake axis only goes to let's say 25 or 50% 2) When button is released the brake axis goes back to zero. Thanks for any help, been trying to figure this out for literally years! Thanks Adam
