Many (many) months back I had a build of flightgear where there was a bug-feature that actually allowed this to happen. I forget exactly how I triggered it and maybe it is/was still possible....I think it was some magic combo of reset/pause/unpause during a replay. It worked quite well and smooth on some aircraft, I remember shooting an approach over and over again by triggering it. Would be cool to see that work again, as an actual feature this time. :) > Another thing, since the topic was raised: since FG2.4.0 the multiplayer > system is already aware of replay sessions - and already freezes the > state.

Could we have replays broadcast over mp as a hidden option or something, something that is disabled by default? It was actually kind of useful sometimes to be able to see other peoples replays. Having it hidden and/or disabled by default should prevent most/all unintentional bad behavior. And we have the ignore options on MP to get rid of any intentionally annoying people. > The most obvious change though is probably the new GUI dialog: looks > like a video player, provides play/pause/skip controls, also controls > replay speed.

This sounds really awesome, really. I'm really looking forward to the future when all aircraft have configured themselves to have flawless replays, instead of being half crippled most of the time like they have been for so long. :) cheers..and thanks! --Jacob ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable.
