Just downloaded MakeRwys version 5.3, and after unzipping the files, the file version shows as 5.1.2.9. Pic attached Regards Dave Nash

Hi Fabio In addition to my post here https://forum.simflight.com/topic/91873-update-v45-microsoft-flight-simulator-flightcontrolreplay-v45-for-microsoft-flight-simulator-june-update-21-discussion/?do=findComment&comment=570215 I recorded a flight with the enhanced P3D version, which plays back in P3D perfectly. However, if I try to record (render) a video of the flight during replay an exception is thrown just after I name the file to save. I've attached a screenshot for info. I tried several times, same result. (FCR is run with admin privileges) Any suggestions? Or am I doing something wrong? Regards Dave Nash Edit - P3D version is 5.3.15.28131

Hi Fabio Quick query - I've just installed version 4.5.2201.12 on my p3d m/c, but the enhanced and standard P3D versions are showing version 4.5.2112.10. The MSFS version correctly shows version 4.5.2201.12. I'm assuming all three files should be the same version number. Cheers Dave Nash Edit - Correction, the standard version shows as 4.5.2102.9

Working perfectly now, thank you. Pete - just to clarify, Button 38 on joystick A is the hat on the flight stick and this hat switch was not being used for panning, and button 38 was not set to repeat (see my earlier post). Sorry for any confusion Dave Nash

"Isn't this POV control recognised in the Axis assignments tab (it should be)? If so, for panning, you'd be better off assigning there and to 2PAN VIEW". You have two other POV's assigned as well. on Joys A and C, and many of those assignments are also with repeat enabled." Hi Pete, thanks for the reply The weird response was that the POV button worked once to switch the view, but subsequent presses resulted in it panning the view, which shouldn't happen, once the view had been switched, subsequent presses of the same POV button should have no effect. Glad you were able to confirm the behaviour! Just my personal preference, I use the POV positions for switching views and moving the eyepoint. Button 38 is allocated to "View Camera Select 2" and works perfectly under version 13. Regards Dave Nash

Indeed! Imagine buzzing a B747 flying as AI with an F35 live flight! Sounds good to me! Dave Nash

Hi John Just tried this dll version on P3Dv5, and got some weird results off my thrustmaster hatswitch left button. Looking at the button under the FSUIPC "Buttons and Switches" tab, when I press the button, the display shows it as Joy A button 38 with the correct sim function showing, but when I release the button, the display reverts to button no 255, no allocation! As a result I get a weird response in the sim. I stopped there to post this message. I've attached my ini file (Extra Buttons disabled) and the log file for that session. In the meantime going back to version 13. Regards Dave Nash FSUIPC6.ini FSUIPC6.log

I recorded a flight (take off from EGBB) and checked it played OK, then attempted to play it as AI after reloading the original (which loads with the aircraft sitting on the end of the runway, waiting to take off). No matter what distance offset I use, (altitude offset 0, angular offset 0), I get "OBJECT COLLISION", and the sim restarts. After that sometimes the AI aircraft will spawn. Also I'm confused by the distance parameter "nm". Is this meant to be nautical miles or no of meters! Also does the unit setting in the simulator have any effect on this parameter?

Best of luck with the release Fabio, thanks for all the hard work and the free update!

Great news Fabio. You are doing a fantastic job supporting the community. Bring it on, and good luck!

Hi Fabio Thanks for all the work you are putting in on this project! Haven't used FCR for a while. I've just tried build 2004.20 on P3Dv5, recording a take off in PMDG QOTSII with sim set to 30FPS, FCR set to 30FPS, using view-groups on triple 4K monitors and the replay still looks too fast (x2). If I use the app to slow the replay by x2 the playback looks normal. No problem with the recording otherwise, gear and flaps animation work OK. Nice work, but can you fix the replay problem? Kind Regards Dave Nash

OK. Thanks Fabio! Best Regards

Hi Fabio You say in an answer to an earlier post that you are planning to introduce the facility to record AI in v5. Would this facility include the capability to display an AI carrier (such as the Nimitz, for instance), which has been spawned by an application such as "AICarriers" or the VRS TacPac? The ability to capture a Carrier Landing would be brilliant! Great application, good luck with the development! Best Regards

Thanks for the quick reply Fabio, that's good news. My observation was for playing back within P3D v 4.5, I didn't render a video, but I guess it's all interlinked! Best of luck with this project, great app! Dave Nash

Hi Fabio Has this been fixed in the latest update? I have just done a recording with P3D v4.5 set to 30FPS and FCR set to 30FPS, and the replay speed is still too fast (at a guess at least x2). The recording itself was fine (PMDG QOSII), just wrong replay speed. Cheers Dave Nash

I may have got a tad confused here. With the FSUIPC Autosave switched on, but with view-groups OFF, the primary monitor display is not affected during autosave. With the FSUIPC Autosave switched on and view-groups switched ON (triple monitor display), the left and right monitors go blank for around a second (I assume this is during autosave as it happens every minute), while simultaneously the centre (primary) monitor flickers to blank for a fraction of a second. After this event the sim carries on as normal till the next autosave takes place and the process is repeated. If I use the "Save Scenario" menu function or the ";" key, the sim pauses, the displays go blank (black), and a dialog box is displayed, awaiting user input. After saving the flight the sim continues as normal. This is true whether I have view-groups on or off, with the FSUIPC Autosave disabled. There seems to be some interaction between having view-groups activated and the automatic Save function. Hope this helps Regards Dave Nash

Hi Pete With view-groups on or off, if I press the ";" key or choose to save the scenario via the menu, the sim stops and displays a dialog box allowing me to choose an existing file to overwrite or save a new file. As far as I remember it's always done this. Cheers Dave

Since I use view-groups I tried this on my default flight (Beech Baron 58 EGBB to EGCC), and confirmed the behaviour of the sim with Autosave (default) switched on, though in my case the primary (centre monitor) flickers briefly as well. With view-groups switched off and Autosave on, no problem. Seems to point to some interaction between the view-groups display process and the P3D "Save" function! I posted this info on the P3D forum FWIW Regards Dave Nash

Hi Pete Just picked up this thread on P3D forum, thought I'd bring it to your attention. http://www.prepar3d.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6312&t=133472 I don't use the Autosave function myself, but other users might need to be aware of this too. Cheers Dave

Hi Peter Sounds like the ball is squarely in LM's court for now, I guess they will have more pressing priorities, even though an "Instant Replay Live" flag seems simple to implement. Thanks again for looking at this and providing an explanation. Kind Regards Dave Nash

Hi Peter OK. Thanks for spending the time on it. I appreciate it, but don't lose too much sleep! Regards Dave Nash

Hi Peter A couple more (re-named) log files attached as requested, recorded during separate P3D sessions, as before. Hope this helps. Thanks for persevering! Kind Regards Dave FSUIPC5_normal2.log FSUIPC5_instreplay2.log

I just re-assigned a couple of view controls ("View Camera Select"), and recorded two separate log files while operating those and the panning hat-switch during normal running and during instant replay. (The panning hat-switch was already assigned as "Send to FS"). They don't work during instant replay. I used the same sequence in both cases. During normal running the events appear in the log file. During Instant replay they don't. However during normal or instant replay the events can be seen in the assignments screen. The log files are attached. It seems the sim ignores any input that is joystick based during instant replay. If I ever find a solution I'll post back, but don't hold your breath! Thanks for your help Kind Regards Dave Nash FSUIPC5_instreplay.log FSUIPC5_normal.log

Hi Peter Sorry for the delay. I'll swap a few of my keypress assignments to "send direct to FS" and see what happens. Thanks for all your comments and great support as usual! Kind Regards Dave Nash
