Can you record more than one plane with FSRecorder?
Here is the scenario: Say I want to record an aircraft flying along-side a previously recorded aircraft. Sounds simple but, it never works. I just get a recording of the second aircraft. FSRecorder, for some reason, doesn't record the the first recording again. I hope this makes sense.
Any help or ideas appreciated

Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth of sun split clouds.....and done a hundred things you have never dreamed of.....wheeled and soared and swung high in the sunlit silence. Hovering there, I've chased the shouting wind along and flung my eager craft through footless halls of air.

Up, up the long, delerious, burning blue I've topped the wind swept heights with easy grace where never Lark, nor even Eagle flew. While with silent lifting of mind I've trod the high untrespassed sanctity of space, put out my hand and touched the face of god"

When you start to record, make sure the "record AI" box is checked when you playback as AI.

That won't do the trick, as Recorder will not record the flights he is currently playing.
You have to record the aircrafts one by one. The trick is that you can play as traffic several recordings at a time Wink

So if you want to make a formation flight with 3 planes, you record the first one, then you play it as AI, and record your flight while you fly as wingman. Then when you're back on the runway, you play again as AI the flight of the leader, and the flight of the wingman as well. Both will appear. So you'll be able to fly with them.

Yeah, mine came back, for some reason. I've always liked that playback feature because I don't have internet on my FSX computer, so I can't do multiplayer. Cry

I went outside once. The graphics weren't all that great.

Did you change your default aircraft? I found that when I have the Rockwell Commander as default, my "add on" tab goes away. There may be a few other aircraft that cause that to happen, too. *WHY* is a whole 'nuther question. Undecided

Thanks Daube

That's been a mystery to me for a while...........thought eventually I'd figure it out on my own Huh

Thanks again Wink

You're welcome.

Also, another important info is that FS Recorder usually HATES the unlimited FPS setting. If you try to play a recorded aircraft as AI and fly with it in formation, you'll see that the aircraft "jumps" back and forth quicly.
Just set your FPS to a reasonnable limit, the plane will get stable.
