  1. Hello flight sim enthusiasts,

    I'd like to focus a moment on the Automatic Change Camera exclusive feature of FlightControlReplay.

    It is made to Call and activate any custom cockpit camera, smartcam or other default MSFS / P3D camera during Replay without user input. Basically, you setup a key shortcut, and you select the moment of the Replay when you want the Camera Change to happen by clicking on the Yellow Time slider. And it's set, launch Replay and seat back to watch the Camera Change do the job for you.

    Pick on the Yellow slider timeline, there you can setup the keyboard shortcut, that you configured in “MSFS Controls section”, inside the CameraChange Dialog and this will be triggered at the chosen frame. When Replay reaches this frame, FCR triggers the keyboard shortcut and automatically activates the Camera Change that you set.

    How does it work ? 

        1. Start a flight in your simulator, and connect FCR. 
        2. Click on the Record Button when you are ready, or use the Start Recording Automatically setting in the Options Dialog. 
        3. Click on the Stop Button when you are done with your recording session. 
        4. Click Load to select the FCR flight situation. 
        5. Click on Play Button to start playing this recorded flight in your simulator. 
        6. Now, anywhere on the Yellow Slider of FCR User Interface, you can select the camera for the next frame of the video by following these easy steps. Click on the pencil below the Yellow Slider, 
        • at the top is the camera category selection dialog ( Cockpit / External / Showcase )
        • below is the camera detailed listing for that category (all pilots views, 
        • instruments views and external views).
        • Assign the keyboard shortcut, that you configured in “MSFS Controls section”,
        • Text box to show in the simulator during Replay if you want.
    Only your custom cameras you may have set yourself are not currently supported, but all the default cameras of the simulators ARE.

  2. Hi !

    Surprising and entertaining for virtual spotters : you can even follow a real aircraft in your simulator, during his complete evolution from the departure until its arrival. And you just need FlightControlReplay.

    Go to Flightware, and when the flight has landed, check its details page. This is where you will be able to download a KML file including the flight path data. That's free.

    Here are the detailed steps :

    1. Go to [Flightaware.com](http://Flightaware.com/), select or look for a flight of your choice. It must have landed so you can download a KML file.
    2. Go to the flight details page.
    3. Click on the Flight Track Log link on the right side column.
    4. And hit the Google Earth button at the top, and you have a prompt window to select the destination folder of the respective KML file for this flight.

    Now import this KML file into FlightControlReplay and you can now replay and follow this flight, and you can take all the pictures that you need, from all angles, and even in high altitude.

  3. Hi,

    FlightControlReplay is capable of Voice Recognition (english-US) so you can record and play without leaving your flight controls, or without display the user interface over the flight simulator screen.

    Here are below a reminder of the controls supported by the voice recognition technology when you are using FlightControlReplay
        • “Record” word to start Record 
        • “Stop” word to stop record 
        • “Stop Play” to stop Play Mode and reinitialize the Flight Recorded. 
        •  “Play” to play Flight Recorded and also to resume from a pause. 
        • “Pause” to pause Flight Recorded. 
        • “Forward” to go forward 
        • “Backward” to go backward. 

    Handy, isn't it ? I find it even better than shortcuts of the keyboard, but of course, that's also an option for those who prefer to press a key. FCR supports a single key press, not a combination due to limitation with the simulator. The shortcuts can be set in the Options menu of FCR.

    Now, it's time to enjoy the flight sim community content using FCR tool.

  4. Hello,

    At the beginning of my development story in the flight simulator world, I was coding to make the tools that I missed for my own flight simming hobby. Later on, seeing that huge amount of add-ons and the active community, I thought that maybe others would be interested in using the helpers that I created.

    If you are also a developer that would need to work, to integrate, to be compatible with FlightControlReplay, don't hesitate and let's get in touch.

    If you are a content creator, and you have thought about a special feature, you need a review copy or functionality advice. Don't hesitate, I like the kind of job you do and already supports many of you as the best that I can.

    If you are a customer, and you didn't find the answer to your question in the product manual, the tutorial videos, or in the forum search, I can provide direct support by e-mail or in this simFlight forum.

    You can find my e-mail address in the product manual, 
    or on my official website https://flightcontrolreplay.wordpress.com/
    and on the dedicated product page at simMarket https://secure.simmarket.com/fabio-merlo-flightcontrolreplay-professional-edition-fsx-p3d.phtml
    If you prefer a forum to get other users feedback as well, this is the right place.

  5. Hi,

    When I started flight simming many years ago already, we were already proud to take and share a screenshot in a detailed airport scenery, with impressive weather conditions.

    It has becore much easier and frequent to record a video and to show your flight experience in action. BUT, since FlightControlReplay is more than just a Replay that replces your aircraft along its path in the simulator, FlightControlReplay records also the weather conditions, the time of day.

    When you load a Replay, you can load it, with, or without the flight situations data that include the weather. This is NOT just a replay tool. Flying through storms, heavy rain, violent thunder, strong wings, brutal windshear, beautiful sunset, enjoy the multiple MSFS possibilities and show us your skills, with FlightControlReplay !

    Let's see what others shared last week :

  9. Hello everybody !

    In the last weeks, MSFS community has seen such exciting aircraft and add-ons released that it's hard to remain cold-minded.

    After several tests run by beta-testers, streamer friends and me, i can confirm now that the advanced airliners Fly The Maddog MD-82, PMDG 737, Fenix A320, and also the official Top Gun Maverick expansion are compatible with FlightControlReplay.

    This ensures to all users of my tool a safe environment for Replay, and Video Recordings of your performance with your brand new toy. 
    Note : Because these advanced airplanes use non standard variables, some particular features may not work properly during replay.

  10. Hello,

    For new users coming to our flightsim hobby, they quickly see the positive side of adding and using add-ons for payware aircraft, or scenery, since the crank up is easily noticeable in many cases.

    But when it's about tools, they often wonder about FlightControlReplay
    what does it make so special ?

    When you start the entertainment with your Flight Replay, you want to share your perfect landings, your awesome airport, your dangerous approach, your realistic weather conditions, your scaring adventures, or messed up operations to laugh with friends.

    FlightControlReplay will record 1-click MP4 video in HD of your smooth performance.
    It will manage the change of camera.
    It will produce frame-by-frame recordings with speed change effects.
    It will even fix your altitude by an offset or your wrong gear configuration.
    It will impress your viewers with Flight Formation simulation (PlayAsAI).
    It will cycle between your aircraft and the AI traffic around you to view the flight activity in your surroundings.

    There's a lot of fun ahead, and way more with your creativity.

    Let's check what our streamers produced last week :

  11. Hello,

    Today we practice Flight Formation, with FlightControlReplay thanks to its exclusive feature PlayAsAI ! How to simulate a realistic Flight Formation ? Let's take the example of 3 jets at takeoff.

    You will have to record 3 distinctive flight tracks.

    Launch FCR with a right click as Administrator.

    Click on the Record button, name it Instance 1.fcr, and perform the first takeoff.

    Repeat the last step with Instance 2.fcr and Instance 3.fcr to record and fly a takeoff each time.

    Now that you have your 3 recorded tracks, we will Replay them at once, each in a different FCR window, or Instance.

    Launch FlightControlReplay three times (right click as Administrator each time, remember that. So now, you must have 3 windows of FCR open on your screen.

    In the first instance, click Load, and select Instance 1.fcr. This will be your main flight track Replay.

    Now in the second FCR window, click PlayAsAI, and load Instance 2.fcr, Save and Close. Click on the Play button, and the second aircraft appears in the simulator.

    Repeat the last step in the third and last FCR window. Load Instance 3.fcr as you did previously.

    Click Play in each of the three windows so you can watch them flying in formation, and you can control each one with its respective Yellow time slider if necessary.

    Watch the Demo on video :

  12. Hello,

    If you have suffered from crash-to-desktop (CTD) issues with your simulator, you will feel relived by some help provided by FlightControlReplay.

    The tool can restore your plane in last known position in case of CTD : Re-Live Instant Replay must be activated for that.

    Another workaround is to continue Live Flight starting from a Replay point (MSFS only) : Load a FCR recorded 
    flight, select any point of your choice on the timeline Yellow Slider and click STOP 2 times. Now you 
    can start live your Flight from this point. As you can note, it is made first for the case of Replay that you can resume at anytime, but it can be used also to restart a crashed flight thanks to the Replay feature.

    I have a few more special tips for MSFS used in combination with FlightControlReplay :
    - Disable plane crash detection in MSFS
    - Use only FlightControlReplay.exe in FlightcontrolreplayMSFS folder
    - Be sure to load a Free Flight in MSFS before you play or load a recorded flight via FCR
    - Be sure to press ReadyToFly button in MSFS before you play a FCR recorded flight
    - Shortcut with one key at a time in FCR Options Dialog, since combination of 2 keys at the sale time is not supported
    - Note that Zoom in/out from FlightControlReplay user interface is not available for incompatibility reason.

  13. Hello,

    I selected another bunch of tiny features included in my tool but that bring important relief when you discover that FlightControlReplay supports the following options :

    - Apply an Altitude Offset to your aircraft during Replay, and it's real time effective. If you missed the final approach, you don't want to appear too high high during the replay, or neither to let the feeling that your wheels could touch the airport hence ! Just modify that altitude, apply an offset in a second.

    - Aircraft Gear status : just like the previous offset, you can also ask FlightControlReplay to force the gear status Up, Down, or let it automatic during Replay, and apply the modification live !

    - Take / Leave Aircraft Control Toggle : Take control of one selected AI plane (PlayAsAI mode), or take control of your own aircraft during a Replay. You can toggle it off in order to give back controls to FlightControlReplay that returns in line with the values of the recorded flight.

    - Bank angle improvements for acrobatic replay. Playing Reno races add-on, or performing figures with your sporty aircraft ? No problem with FCR algorithm that will support your quick movements and render the accurate result in the replay or video.

  14. Hello everybody,

    We recently discussed here about VR interaction and support with FlightControlReplay. I will quickly provide here an FAQ with more regular user questions :

    - Helicopters ? Yes, you can record and replay any flight situation with helicopters of course.

    - Can I modify the time rate of the simulation during Play Mode ? Yes, the main user interface has buttons 2x, 8x, Slow, Fast, to modify this on the fly so you can edit more complex videos.

    - What are the other ways to control FCR if the window is hidden by my full screen simulator display ? You can use an X-Box controller, keyboard shortcuts, or even voice control.

    - If my aircraft is recorded, what about visual effects on it ? In Prepar3D and FSX, FlightControlReplay ensures compatibility with Parallel42 "Immersion" VisualFX series. In MSFS, the dynamic visual effects by default of smoke and water are reproduced as well.

    - Do you have tutorials ? Absolutely.

    For PlayAsAI with FCR : https://youtu.be/ASN9FgwfKUE
    Create Ground/Plane Spotter View in MSFS : https://youtu.be/Es1XAgU0gnk

    - Why is this not freeware
    1. My tool is a modular and custom tool that took me years of development, refinement.
    2. It's full loaded of features with advanced technology to support payware aircraft, VR and visual effects. There is not just 1 action made possible.
    3. A low price has been deliberately set, with new simulators support added for FREE (P3D4, P3D5, MSFS) and multiple Free Updates with numerous and big features added
