Wellington Pics

I did a bit of flying around changing the time of day and views for this month's screenshot competition. This included flying a SID departure and STAR approach to 34 in the 773 to play back as AI. Here are some of the pics I took during the process, looking back, some I like more than the one I submitted but nevermind.

These thumbs link to the full size pic.

Looks like a heap of fun.
Dang recorder module update email has been sitting in my inbox for a week, no time yet...
So you can record any aircraft, play it back as AI and fly along in another plane?
These are all betas, the final product is going to be a flightsim all on its own!

Matt, you truly have a talent for screenshots mate. I particularly like the 5th one down

By the way, it is very cool how you manage to replay your flight with own craft as AI. I remember I used to try and intercept jets landing at LAX with my Cessna, then went to watch the replay only to find out all the AI had disappeared!

I like the module, it takes a bit of messing about with but it's effective.

Start a flight, start recording, finish recording whenever you like, then save that flight as a recorded flight in the module.

You can then elect to replay the flight as normal (that is sit in the cockpit, change to exterior view etc and fly 'hands free') or play it back as AI.

When you play back a recorded flight it plays it using whatever currently selected aircraft you are in when you start playback... so far I have mucked about recording some acrobatics in an Extra and played them back in a 747 and a chopper..

For these shots I started in a 737, slewed to where I knew I would meet the AI, paused, started the playback (which would show as a 737 model), paused, changed my plane to a Beech 1900D, unpaused and hand flew to fly alongside the 733 on approach. I turned AI labels off to take the shots but they help in finding it initially.

It also offers several different tower and spot plane views that I haven't really got the hang of yet.

Recorder Module for FS2004. I use Vers 1.21 from here

Check the forum there, I have just downloaded the 1.3 beta which allows multiple recorded AI played at once.... here's a shot from their forum. Looks interesting.

This idea I really like, it has huge potential for some amazing screenies.
