ust for let you know that current P3D v3.4.9 version comes with a FS Recorder that works exceptionally well. It's located under the menu "Analysis" inside P3D. What is also very good, it's that you can do the work inside P3D and you don't need any extra connection from outside.

 

Ed, can you explain further. Historically, it is not what I would call 'exceptional', other than exceptionally bad.

Just for let you know that current P3D v3.4.9 version comes with a FS Recorder that works exceptionally well.

 

"Exceptionally well" is very subjective.

 

Anyone who used FS Recorder knows what an exceptional replay system really is and I think the replay system in 3.4 is nowhere near what people really need in a replay system.

But wasn't it already confirmed FSRecorder still works in P3D only with some error message during startup that could be cleared or did I misread that information?

Hi, I didn't notice it in previous P3D versions. Just thought it was only a replay feature which indeed was very bad.

In this version, I've paid more attention and noticed the possibility to record videos from inside P3D (menu Analysis), tried it and for me worked a lot better that certain addons recently released. Once you find the menu item, you start recording when you like and stop it by pressing the ESC key, then you are prompted to save or discard. To save the recording you just need to write in a title, and then "Save", P3D will store it in the same folder as the flightplans (Documents/Prepar3D v3 folder). It'll be a huge file.

I repeat, I don't know if this feature existed in previous P3D versions, but I can just say it is working just great in P3Dv3.4.9!.

NOTE: when you play the recording you will notice that several flight numbers or variables are not updated (I noticed FMS and aircraft altitude not reset when playing the video, using the Do228 from Carenado, for instance), but the possibility of watching the takeoffs and landings, and the rest of the flight from outside the aircraft is what I wanted and it does it nicely, without stuttering or pauses.

Cheers, Ed

I'm happy to see this topic is still active. I can't remember the last time I recorded a video and played it back using different camera angles. Now that prepar3d v3.4 added Cinematographer feature, this would play well with a good fs recorder.

hi all,

 

Prepar3d default Recording it is better than nothing for sure BUT Flightcontrolreplay it is more.

it is a software that it permits:

 

-record at custom fps choosed from usera

-play situation and pause stop fast forward fast backward

-voice control

-key assignment

-export data to google earth

-slider for time movement

-change camera pov

-record voice from microphone

-ailerons movement

-XBOX ONE controller support

-KINECT v2 future support......

 

Guys sorry but i think flightcontrolreplay it is a new fresh sw that start a new way to live flight sim analysys!

 

From tomorrow morning will be online fixed version that fix key assignment.

 

yes PMDG 737 it is supported! Ailerons rudder and gears movements

The analysis recording feature has been around for some time ... but I'm pretty sure it doesn't work with Virtuali airports (they go into "Trial" mode and you only see jetways).  Also, some elements/animations of 3rd party aircraft are NOT captured (i.e. reverse thrusters) so they will not be displayed in the playback.

 

 

 

Anyone who used FS Recorder knows what an exceptional replay system really is and I think the replay system in 3.4 is nowhere near what people really need in a replay system.

 

I'm hoping this means Keven will step upto the plate and include this feature with his ChasePlane product?

 

An older version of FSRecorder does work with P3D v3.x but it's clunky to work with and results can be inconsistent (read not smooth and/or effects aren't correct and/or CTD).  A far superior solution would be a recorder that runs external (in it's own EXE) ... or even better solution can run in a networked PC environment so playback/record are managed entirely on a networked PC to minimize any performance/VAS drain on the primary FS PC.

 

Cheers, Rob.

Very good point Rob :-D , it is next step!

Thanks for the HU Rob and I agree with what you suggest, that kind of functionality would be great!

Using an .EXE and Simconnect FlightControlReplay it is ready to run in a networked machine, if Simconnect network configuration steps are done well. But i ll test very soon and i ll add compatibility statement when i have tested it very well!

Waiting also here for the great news from Keven... (any news)

Strange, but for that version of FS Recorder  to work with P3D, you should have (or must have) FSX installed in your machine (as discussed in forums already).

 

Cheers, Ed

Going to go out on limb here but I dont think FSXPackages intended to have a full blown recording system and chaseplane all in one product so that said if they were going to add this feature that would take a lot of work and the price point for good reason would be different as it should be and the original time frame would be pushed out by quite a bit of time

That's not correct, I've used it without FSX installed ... there are some installation tricks to get it to install, but you definitely do NOT need FSX installed.  I used version FSRecorder 1.331.

That's possible due to relatively small market and development resources, but they would naturally fit together as they are frequently used together.  I don't have much need for a view system "stand alone", and I don't have much need for a record system "stand alone" ... but I do have a big need for both a view and record system together.  But sold separately or as a package, doesn't really matter ... it's both or none for my purchase dollars.  But perhaps there is a market for just one or just the other?

 

From a development perspective there would be more maintenance overhead in two separate products ... updates, support forums, etc. would be doubled.  But I suspect you could be right that development resources would dictate a two product path ... but from end user perspective I already way too "small" products that could be and should combine into single products ... it's more end user work with installs/udpates and keeping everything "happy" and working well together.

 

My 2 cents,

 

Cheers, Rob.

Best of both worlds would be  great thats for sure Rob  :wink: either way I'm in

FS Recorder uses a version of Simconnect from FSX so if we already installed FSX it can work with P3D since P3D can work with all versions of FSX SimConnect. But if we've not previously installed FSX, then we would have installed the legacy simconnects from the \redist folder and found it would work without FSX installed.
