November 16, 20214 yr I've read where a replay function will be included in this week's update but that it will be available in dev mode. If that is correct, I will confess that I have never enabled dev mode and wonder what are the pros and cons of doing so. Rick Abshier 5900X | RTX 5070 Ti OC| 64 GB@3600 | India Pale Ale
November 16, 20214 yr It has a Star Trek type teleporter. You can change planes without going back to the main menu. Look at most things in wireframe. And it won't log your flight when active. Other things useless for the average Joe. Try it, it doesn't bite and is easily enough to turn on/off. -J 13700KF | RTX 4090 @ 1440 | 64GB DDR5 | 2 x 1TB SSDs | 1TB M.2 NVMe
November 16, 20214 yr The dev menu at the top now auto-retracts so it doesn't get in the way of your videos / screenshots. You can also exit dev mode from its own menu so you don't have to escape out and use the MSFS menu system. There is also an inbuilt performance monitor if you need it (framerate etc.). As Twenty6 says, no harm can be done by trying it other than any flights in dev mode don't go into your log book. PS. I have noted swapping planes quickly in this mode doesn't always work well. It seems to mess up certain plane states, and the camera system is sometimes messed up until you go back to the main menu and select another flight.

November 16, 20214 yr I always found quitting dev mode from it’s own menu got things a little out of sync i.e. on next sim start, dev mode wasn’t enabled but the on screen performance display graphs were still active. I always disable it from the normal options menu in the sim to avoid this. Just something to keep an eye out for. Ryzen 9800X3D, RTX 5090, 64GB, Win 11. MSFS2020.

November 16, 20214 yr "Dev Mode" means Developer Mode. It means a Sandbox for Developers to try out new features, check runtime information and to fix defects in debug mode. Dev Mode does not usually ship with final product. Dev Mode shipped with MSFS because WIP! http://youtube.com/c/Greazer

Dev Mode shipped with MSFS because WIP! The problem with MSFS is that there isn’t enough tools for debugging, not too much. They will of course always need Dev Mode. // 5800X3D // RTX 3090 // 64GB RAM // HP REVERB G2 //
November 17, 20214 yr I hope the replay system will work without dev mode. I don’t want to have to enable dev mode Lukas Dalton

I have seen this happen, although not so much lately, so not sure if they finally fixed it. Once this bug happened, it used to be a pain to try to get rid of the display graphs.
