Yes, I'm aware of that "cheat" :). It formerly worked by triggering a sim reset while replay was active. Indeed, I'm thinking of reviving that cheat and turning it into a feature. Instead of re-initing the whole sim, it's enough to reset the FDM alone. However, unfortunately there are issues with some FDMs. For example, YASim doesn't like it when the initial speed is > 0 for propeller aircraft and just goes wild (bug #178, http://code.google.com/p/flightgear-bugs/issues/detail?id=178). Such issues spoil such a "feature". > Could we have replays broadcast over mp as a hidden option or > something, something that is disabled by default?

The replay on MP was really annoying, since it also happened to well behaved MP players, which you normally don't ignore. I've seen people following ATC instructions, and nicely taxiing to their gate - and then they suddenly engaged replay - being unaware of the effect and meaning no harm. So changing the default here avoids most issues. cheers, Thorsten ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure contains a definitive record of customers, application performance, security threats, fraudulent activity and more.
