Hi Thorsten, really great news. I already thought that something like this would be very cool :) Everything works great here. Save own flights, playback own and your flights (Nice approach btw. ;) ). Only with jsbsim the my controls button is missing, but that wasn't working before neither...

Hi, I have updated the replay system, to allow taking over control at any point during the replay. So, if you messed up your approach, you can go back in time with the replay system, and try again - and again... There is a new red button My controls!, currently only shown with YASim aircraft:

There is a new red button My controls! Don't they tend to say My aircraft!? ;-) Anyway, sounds like a nice feature. Will test later this week, when I return home (and to my Git machine).

Hi, finally had the time to complete the replay system overhaul. Thanks to everyone providing input. Some people had sent me longer wish lists – unfortunately I'm unable to fulfill all of them - at least not now :). But some things are still high on my list: specifically the option to easily

It would be wonderful if replay data could be saved and loaded to/from a file rather than only buffered to memory (with decreasing resolution) temporarily. The ability to save and reload (and share) replays would be extremely useful for so many things such as flight training to check student
