TRK was setup to record the inputs from the player (and AI) into the flight model. It's an extremely unreliable format as slight or minor changes to the flight model and AI modeling over the years has made saving anything in TRK a near useless endeavor. The NTRK format is a very different beast in that it records more information including the actual positions of aircraft and damage states so that the playback is virtually identical between versions no matter how much has changed.
It's why the BlackDeath.ntrk or the Kamikazi02.ntrk still work many years after they were created.
I know what you mean about deciding to record later... and perhaps there is a solution using NTRK that would be possible but TRK was always problematic. As soon as IL-2 went from version 1.0 to 1.01 things started to go astray.
