Der Wunsch sich die Landung nochmal anzusehen, oder den Anflug aus virtueller Passagiersicht zu erleben, scheint bei uns Simmer tiefverwurzelt. Doch weder der P3D noch der MSFS bringen diese sogenannte Replay Funktion mit. Dank Fabio Merlo und seinem Flight Control Replay (FCR) ist dies jedoch möglich. Der externe Aufnahmerekorder hat nun ein relativ großes Update bekommen.
War der FCR früher ein reines Replay Tool, welches im P3D die fehlende Wiederholfunktion ersetzt hat, ist das Tool im MSFS mit interessanten Features angereichert worden. Neben der VR-Unterstützung kann die erstellte Aufnahme auch als MP4 exportiert werden. Dadurch ist sie direkt mit den meisten Media-Playern abspielbar. Seit dem neusten Herbst-Update ist es nun möglich AI Flugzeuge auszuwählen und diese aufzunehmen. Auch können KML Dateien, zum Beispiel von Flightradar24 oder Freunden/ Bekannten, importiert und abgespielt werden. So kann der letzte Urlaubsflug mit dem exakten Routenverlauf direkt im MSFS nochmal angeschaut werden. Darüber hinaus besitzt das Programm weitere interessante Features und Möglichkeiten. Für ca. 20€ bekommt ihr den P3D und MSFS kompatiblen FCR im simMarket.
Aus der Erfahrung heraus reagiert der P3D des Öfteren mit Abstürzen auf das erneute Abspielen von Wiederholungen. Habt ihr Erfahrungen wie der MSFS das erneutes Abspielen des Fluges meistert?
HIghlight features in Version 4.5 :
- Video Rendering Mode : Record a MP4 compressed video rendered with frame by frame technology of FCR for a smooth video whatever the FPS you had in the sim.
- Video Rendering Speed option : (1/4 – x4) for User Object and also for AI Objects
- VR support FlightControlReplay can be used also in all VR Environments via key mapping AND for Windows Mixed Reality Headset. You can also run FlightControlReplay directly into the cockpit and you can see FCR User Interface for full use!
- Automatic Change Camera Call and activate any custom cockpit camera, smartcam or other default MSFS / P3D camera by choosing a keyboard shortcut ! Setup the keyboard shortcut, that you configured in “MSFS Controls section”, inside the CameraChange Dialog and this will be 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.
- PlayASAI now supports up to 5 planes in each FCR instance. Remember that with more instances of FCR, you can create infinite traffic.PlayASAI feature generates ghosts aircraft from your saved flight path, with custom offset so you can simulate formation flying !
- Change Recording Camera : Any simulator camera available anytime
- Record/Play Algorithm enhancements, stutter fixed with PlayAsAI, Load Replay with/without flight situation settings weather/location/time along your recorded flight at once through FCR user interface
- Load Replay with/without flight situation settings : When you load your recorded flight in FCR, choose to restore the weather/time/aircraft or keep your current situation settings.
- Restore your plane in last known position in case of Crash To Desktop Re-Live Instant Replay must be activated
- 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. Now you can start live your flight from this point.
- Realtime FlightRecorded modification: Apply an Altitude Offset to your aircraft during Replay.
- 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
- Aircraft Gear status : Force the gear status Up, Down, or let it automatic during Replay, and apply live !
- Always On Top overlay option
- “Continous Loop” playing option (MSFS & P3D)
- Microsoft “Surface Dial Integration” in P3D Enhanced + MSFS (FSX not supported)
- FlightIllusion “GSA-42 integration” compass hardware module support added
- DOFREALITY Motion platform support added
NEW features in Autumn Update 2021 :
- Record and Replay AI Planes (MSFS P3D) : With AI Traffic detection,.FCR lists all AI aircraft around you, and also the ghosts aircraft generated by PlayAsAI feature. Select one or multiple objects among them, so you can Follow, Replay and Record any of them.
- KML File Import (MSFS only) : Replay a real life flight from FlightAware or from a friend, and load into FlightControlReplay to reproduce the flight in the simulator.
- XMapsy compatibility : KML file exported from this EFB connector will be directly imported at once into FlightControlReplay, ready for Replay or Record ! More info on XMapsy click here.
- More Algorithm improvements: More accuracy and smooth moves when the aircraft events are reproduced during a Replay or in a rendered video
