Hi all,version 1.3 beta of the Recorder Module for FS2004 is now available for download at http://www.neusinger.net/recorder.New features in this version:- simultaneous playback of multiple recordings as traffic- recording a new flight during playback as traffic- recording and playback of AI traffic- option to start/stop recording without dialog interruption- options to enable/disable keyboard controls and playback control window during play as traffic- key shortcuts for stop recording/playback are now customizableDue to the lots of changes in the code, there might still be a number of bugs in this beta. If something does not work as described in the manual, please report it using the support forum at www.neusinger.net/recorder (preferred) or to the support email address. Please also report, if you find any errors in the manual.Regards,Matthias

Hi John,>I saw you implemented the "fix" for the clipped wing views by>swapping out the default spot view values with zero then>swapping them back.Right, good you mentioned this in one of your posts. I was aware of the clipping problems, but didn't know it can be fixed that way before :-)Regards,Matthias

Version 1.2 (final) of the Recorder Module for FS2004 is now released and available for download at www.neusinger.net/recorder and in the AVSIM library.The module adds improved recording and replay features to FS2004, including playback as (AI) traffic, and additionally advanced tower and spot view options, like multiple tower/spot views, manual panning of the view direction, simulating cameras attached to the aircraft, etc.Also the website was completely updated and now includes a support forum.Regards,Matthias

Hi,>Honestly i never used the default controls so i have no clue>what they are, ive used another tool to walk around. >>Now which docs are you talking about, the ones from Matthias>do not show fs controls example shift-backspace etc.? Maybe>this is why i'm puzzled i kind of got a view i like by trial>and error with the numbers direction height etc, it took me 2>days :(You will find the move eyepoint controls in the FS control assignments dialog (where you set all keyboard shortcuts and joystick buttons). I think the defaults are shift+enter/backspace for up/down, ctrl+enter/backspace for forward/back and shift+ctrl+enter/backspace for left/right.Regards,Matthias

Hi,>Matthias>>i really am enjoying your recorder software just a>suggestion,>>is it possible when replaying the flight to have it go back to>'normal' mode and then i can take over from there normally,>this would be handy to redo those bad approaches or even to>practise and improve on manually flying the plane from a>certain point.>>whereas now i have to press escape and the replay ends and i>cannot go to a point back in the recorder phase of flight and>take control from there.That feature is already available since version 0.72, press Shift+ESC to stop playback at the current position. I admit the description in the manual is a bit hidden, have to change that.Regards,Matthias

>Could we have the choice of whether to use this or not please?>...while I would like to record AI also ...sometimes it is>advantageous not to. :-hahOf course this will be optional. There will be settings to turn on/off AI recording, playback, set the maximum number of recorded aircraft, etc.Regards,Matthias

>>Great utility!>>Just wondering if there will eventually be a version that will>also record AI planes' positions for replays too...?I plan to add this in one of the next versions. Will take some weeks, however.Regards,Matthias

Version 1.2 beta 2 is now available for download.Two bugs have been fixed:- when turning on loop during replay, without setting the loop start point before, this often resulted in FS to crash- leaving the 'Edit tower view' dialog resulted in a wrong tower position for all western and southern coordinatesThe following settings have been added to the 'Advanced view settings' dialog:- Max. tower distance: If the distance between aircraft and tower position exceeds this value, the viewpoint will follow the aircraft. This prevents some strange effects, which can occur, if the aircraft is hundreds or thousands of miles away from the tower position.- Max./min. autozoom: Limits the zoom range used in autozoom mode.Some users reported, that sometimes in an advanced view the zoom gets stuck and can't be changed using the plus/minus keys. After pressing the reset zoom key it should work again. I think it happened to myself one or two times, but I couldn't reproduce it. If you observe this problem and have any idea, under what circumstances it happens, please let me know.Regards,Matthias

Hi,>No big crashes or anything here but question, in a newly>created tower view, should I be able to zoom in or out? I>don't think I could.Actually the zoom in/out, zoom in/out fine and zoom reset controls should work in the advanced tower and spot views. On my system it works, if it doesn't on yours, please contact me on the support email address, so we can try to find the problem.Best regards,Matthias

Hi all,version 1.05 (final) and version 1.2 beta are now available for download at [a href=http://www.neusinger.net/recorder]www.neusinger.net/recorder[/a]Changes in version 1.2 beta:- play as traffic feature: plays back a recorded flight using a separate (AI) aircraft instead of the user aircraft- advanced tower and spot views: allows you to create multiple tower and spot views with advanced features like free panning, autozoom, etc.- option to adjust sim rate with playback speed- increasing sim rate during recording will no longer result in too fast playback- optional recording/playback message is now displayed in the lower right corner (instead of the green bar on top)Due to the large number of changes in the code there might well be a number of bugs or unexpected side effects I didn't notice. Please give me some feedback how it works.Version 1.05 is also available in the file library (recorder_1-05.zip). It is identical to version 1.05 beta 2 (just the "beta" was removed from the version number). If you already downloaded beta 2, there is no real need to download the final version.Regards,Matthias

>WoW, Matthias, if I understand you correctly you are saying>I will be able to record a flight and then assign it a>particular AI aircraft or it creates an AI flightplan from. >In either case, I could see some nice uses for that feature. >Looking forward to it. :) It creates a new (AI) aircraft (aircraft type is the currently selected user aircraft), which then flies the recorded path, and at the end deletes it again. During playback you will be able to fly.Regards,Matthias

>While not precisely what you're asking, the new Recorder>Module (freeware) can record an entire flight, and you may>then save that recording, and play it back using any aircraft>you might have available.>>http://www.neusinger.net/recorder/The next version of the Recorder, which I will release as beta in the next days, will have a feature, which let's you play a recorded flight as AI traffic.Regards,Matthias

Hi all,I thought I give you some info about the new features on which I'm currently working:- Recording of AI traffic: I recently found out, how to read and write AI aircraft data, and how to create and delete aircraft. I already managed to add a "play as traffic" feature, which plays back a recording using a separate aircraft instead of the user aircraft; so it should also be possible to record and replay AI traffic. There are still some problems to solve, but I think in a few weeks it might be working.- Advanced tower and spot plane views: this will add more view options, like free panning in tower and spot view, multiple towers, moving towers using the keybord, etc.Regards,Matthias
