That's it! The newly recorded aircraft is automatically stored in the 'Logbook' (database). Switch to the 'Formation' module (press F2) The freshly released Sky Dolly v0.7 preview has introduced a major new feature: recording & replay of 'formations':Īdding new aircrafts to an existing (or new) flight is as easy as: Very resource friendly (< 1% CPU usage during recording, on an i7 4.2 GHz CPU) Initial flight conditions, aircraft information, waypoints and simulation times (local and zulu) are recordedīasic store / restore / delete database functionality (including backup and disk space optimisation), with sophisticated flight filtering on the roadmapĮasy and inutitive user interface, with keyboard shortcuts.Basic simulation variables 'with visual impact' are recorded: flaps, gears, ailerons, rudder, spoilers.Variable record rates, from as low as 1 Hz (great for conserving space on long commercial airline flights) up to 'auto' ('as fast as possible' - great for 'acrobatic flying').Smooth replay with cubic spline interpolation of the sample points.Flights are automatically persisted - away with pesky file handling 🙂

Sky Dolly v0.6 as reached a major milestone, namely the support of database ( SQLite) persistence - the 'logbook'. most stuffs on the 32NX).Īll in all, I'll definitely try to tackle this as this would definitely open up the possibility to record even more exciting flights (testing engine off during flight 😂), but it will require more experimenting than I can do right now.I am excited to announce that the latest Sky Dolly v0.6 preview release has just been made available yesterday: Another way is to replay all the proper start-up procedure, which would require recording a much larger number of variables, some might not be available via SimConnect at all (e.g. Auto-start also try to take control of some variables, which might conflict with the on-going replay itself. There is a auto-start event (similar to ctrl+E) that the tool can trigger, but I don't think it work on all aircraft because ctrl+E doesn't either. Starting engine itself is a relatively complex topic.

Main thing is that I don't really see this as a very big issue or one with straight forward & reliable solution. But RPM seems to stay > 0 even if engine is off if you have enough airspeed. Releases (download) Edited Februby _Patrol

Please report any issues or feature request in GitHub Issues. YourControl when you are not in control, other replay tools). This means it might conflict with other tools leverating the same feature (e.g. To prevent fighting with MSFS own calculation, the tool sends freeze command when you start replay and unfreeze when you stop. I'm still experimenting with different ways to perform the replay to find the best one. Replay is not very smooth at the moment, especially when turning on the ground. Hence, you should start recording when engine is already running and stop recording before turning off the engine. I don't know a reliable way to tell if an engine is running or not, so this tool cannot auto-start an engine. Some of them are only for analysis and display and don't affect replay. The tool records this list of variables from SimConnect Structs.cs for each sim frame. Quickly jump to any place in your recording (you have to start replay and then pause replay first) Save recording into a file and load it on another computer A simple recorder to record and replay flight in Microsoft Flight Simulator.
