no biggie, but just curious about why there are no AI aircraft on instant replay? And why would I get stutters on replay when the landing itself was very smooth? billg

thought this would be an easy one, guess not. Or else nobody is interested? Hey, just a simple question. What do you think?billg

Hi,Hmm.......it sounds like a simple enough question, but I am not sure it is that simple, but.....Now, I may be completely wrong here, but i think that it is because FS is not actually "recording" the replay as such, all its doing is remebering the control inputs and then using them in real-time to produce the "instant replay"And to keep the amount of information down to a minimum, all its remebering is your own plane.I think the only way to have a replay showing AI is to physically "record" the flight using one of the video capture programs.Maybe it's possible in the future, as many other sims can show AI in thier replys, IL2 etc.CheersDan.

dan, thx. Guess that makes sense. I'm not too worried about the ai traffic not showing up, I was just wondering why. The stutters on the replay concerns me a bit because when I get good enough I want to send a video of me kissing the pavement with a heavy. But, hey, you have what you have and you get what you get. Or something like that...billg

"Now, I may be completely wrong here, but i think that it is because FS is not actually "recording" the replay as such, all its doing is remebering the control inputs and then using them in real-time to produce the "instant replay"You are right. One way that proves this is if you land with very little fuel left. The aircraft can then run out of fuel during the replay, although it'll still "fly" as normal!

Funny thing though - it does not remember the engine parameters.I do instant replays sometimes a while after I shut the engines down and what do I get? A perfect glider on the ILS whooshing over my head on approach - LOL.Dom
