Hi there,I'm quite busy this evening ... then I'll post more tomorrow.In the meantime you may want to try this :http://balloon.flightsims.perso.cegetel.ne...FORMATION1.htmlCheers,laurentC (rotw)http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/122012.gif

Hi all,To make it simple, the idea is to record one or more user flights and play them all back again in an interactive way

G'day Laurent,Great idea! Sounds very interesting, the possibilities are endless.I'm off on holidays with my wife to the Great Barrier Reef (Dunk Island out from Cairns) for a week but when I get back I'll definitely give it a try. Thanks for all the work you do for helping to make Fly! II so much more enjoyable.Cheers,Roger

Very beautiful.THANKS for your job!!Dan

Hi RogerI live in Cairns!Drop in for a coffee!!e-mail me on [email protected]

Hi Laurent,I just did a first test and I really like your "formation.dll" very much!Your planned feature list is very ambitious, much to code! But I would like to add 2 other features - if possible to create :-)1. that one can watch the recorded flight from outside the plane (also inside would be better but I think that is too much to wish!) as the default replay mode is very faulty!2. that one can load and save the flights - might be load a flight another FLYer has saved. Could be for fun or educational purposes (have a leading plane to follow to train procedures)Anyway, whatever will be the final result, it is a phantastic add-on for FLY! Thanks a lot!RegardsGeorg HeliFLYer EDDW

Hi all,Of course, I'll try to complete HeliFLYer wishes. But I do believe feature #2 is still avalaible ... try to dowload and install LFPO-->LFPV flight added in http://balloon.flightsims.perso.cegetel.ne...FORMATION1.htmlas an example (I'm also preparing a canyon flight to share with you).BTW I improved somehow accuracy with more than 1 saved flight to follow, but I'm not quite satisfied (V1.0.1), then I'll spend some of the next days to find an acceptable solution. A third and fourth flaw I discovered this days are :- you can only save flights from planes with a medium and low model (BTD in other cases) - to save a model, you need to select it in the quicklaunch dialog- you can't use the "V" key to see the saved flight planes (BTD too) ... weird !... both issues I hope to fix in those very next days.Cheers,laurentC (rotw)

Hi Laurent, hi all!This "formation.dll" is really great. I tried Laurents sample flight:1. You can easily check where the "AI-planes" are using the vector window:http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/122147.jpg2. The sample flight starts runway 25http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/122148.jpg3. Following the Cessnas with the Bell 407http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/122149.jpghttp://forums.avsim.net/user_files/122150.jpgTry it - it's really great! And who creates the next sample flights? :-)Please! :-rotor Thank you very much, Laurent!RegardsGeorg HeliFLYer EDDW

Hi all,Well, I've made some improvements to the first version : now, in v1.0.3 we can deal with 4 timers (timers and accuracy are altogether inversely proportional), have a nice lights effect that allows to follow planes in distance ... and, we can, at last, use the "V" key to cycle the views !Have at it !http://balloon.flightsims.perso.cegetel.ne...FORMATION1.htmlBut be careful to remove all old stuff before, since many files have changed.Cheers,laurentC (rotw)

Hi Laurent, hi all!All worked very well when I tested 1.0.3 the first time. It is a big improvement that one can use the "V" key for observing the recorded flight directly.A hint for all FLY!ers: when I recorded my flight I did not think of using an aircraft also with low LOD - Laurent advised us to do so and of course I got the CTD. But I could save the recording by editing the AIModel0.nfo file (Formation_Data folder) with a texteditor and changing all FLYHAWK_XXXX entries (special repaint) to FLYHAWK. Remember this if you get a CTD when playing your recordings!Regards and many thanks to LaurentGeorg HeliFLYer EDDW

Right Georg, thanks for having pointed this out and thanks for the feedback ... it's really important because one never knows if all will work properly until a fellow shouts ; "it works !!!"Anyway, the low model ACM is an issue I want to fix in the next days now that the foundations are hopefully implemented.Thanks again,CheerslaurentC (rotw)
