Recording Question
 

In the game I escape and select Start Recording/name file/save, etc.

When I go to view the file I get one second of water like I just went in the drink. Anyone else get this? Am I doing something wrong. One of the best things about all this eye candy is watching your missions.:(

Is that what it is? Never knew! If we're talking about the same thing. When I play a track back I have to leave edit views off until I play the track for at least a second or two then go back and check edit views. Is that what you're talking about? Is that water? I never noticed.

Yep, it's a bit weird but this is true. The track editor though, well that's another thing altogether. ;-)

If you chance Edit Time, Edit Views, etc. before start play track you get corrupt track.

Start track without touch Edit options, pause, adjust Edit options and play, go normal.

Cool I just did it and it worked. Thanks! That was a little annoying.

Hmmmm interesting....I go play......

recordings in CloD, ...
 

... if you want to make recordings where you have external views you have to put it in the settings before you fly that special mission that you want to record. Put settings on "external view" - on and cockpit "not" always on!
Then fly your mission and record it. This way you can edit it later with flyby view and external views in general. Dont forget to close the game after changing the settings and before you fly your mission, otherwise it will not accept the changes.

I know in the old IL2 it was not like that, you didnt have to change your settings first. It`s probably one of the unfinished features of this sim?
:)

PS: when you edit the recorded track you have to have the same settings as when you fly the mission of course.

Thanks for the pointers. While this now works it's not as good as IL-2 classic. Maybe the developers have this on thier To-DO list.

You can play a track and see the mission from any object or other aircraft point of view externally. But can you switch to a cockpit view of another aircraft during playback also?

defective recordings on CloD ...
 

... oh by the way, ... something you may see when you watch your recording, it does not always exactly show what was going on. Maybe in the mission you landed successfully and in the replay of the same mission you see yourself crashing somewhere.

That was the same in the old IL2 and they never got that fixed. Now we have the same in Cliffs of Dover again ! If your recording is longer than 10 minutes, you will see these mistakes occure !

I wonder how the guys from "Rise of Flight" did that, because there you can record a mission of 30 minutes or longer and it shows afterwards exactly what was happening, no mistakes in the replays !
