You could fairly easily create a new protocol definition .xml file containing just the /control inputs and the record using that. From memory, README.protocol has information on how to create a new protocol file. However, I suspect that the resolution of the control inputs even at a very high frequency will be insufficient to accurately drive the FDM in a reproducable manner. > > Where is recording/playback of the controls documented?

Have a look at README.protocol and README.IO, or look at The Manual: http://www.flightgear.org/Docs/getstart/getstartch5.html#x10-1070005.6 > But the engine will not start and it refused to take off since it never > reaches > rotation speed and it crashed when the gear is raised.

The engine start problem will be because the protocol file you've used doesn't record and playback the appropriate controls to start the engine. -Stuart ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF Dev2Dev email is sponsored by: WikiLeaks The End of the Free Internet http://p.sf.net/sfu/therealnews-com _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list Flightgear-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/flightgear-devel
