=== Record/replay ===
* [[Instant_Replay]] - New Record/replay functionality.
 
* [[Highlighting]] - highlight animated parts of the user aircraft and show associated properties.
* Include multiplayer aircraft in recordings.
* [[ExtraViewWindows|Information about Extra View windows]].
* Continuous recording to file without any loss of detail.
* [[SimpleTime]] - an alternative to [[Real_Time_manual|Real time]] mode.
* Periodic generation of a recovery snapshot, allowing resumption after a flightgear crash.
* [[Carrier_over_MP#Pilot_Using_the_Carrier|Simplifications to Multiplayer carrier operation]].
* Record/replay extra information in Continuous recordings (pushed to next on 2021-2-13):
** Main window size
** Main window position
** Main window view
* Continuous replay aircraft override:
** When loading a Continuous recording at startup, we now override the aircraft and starting airport to match what is in the recording.
* Replay of Continuous recordings from URL:
** Extends the '''--load-tape command-line''' option, for example: '''--load-tape=<nowiki>http://foo.com/bar.fgtape</nowiki>'''
 
 
 
See new '''File''' - '''Flight Recorder Control''' dialogue.
 
==== Details ====
 
* Continuous recording to file uncompressed is e.g. 100MB for an hour's recording near EDDF.
* Support for compression of Continuous recordings was pushed to next on 2021-7-31 ({{flightgear commit|7d414886e00e}}).
 
* A recovery snapshot is actually a single-frame continuous recording, and will be called '''<aircraft-type>-recovery.fgtape'''. Load in the usual way using the '''Flight Recorder Control''' dialogue or on the command line with '''--load-tape=<aircraft-type>-recovery'''. Then do '''Ctrl-R''' to see replay dialogue and click on '''My Controls'''. Some aircraft may have no or limited support for '''My Controls''' though.
 
* "Continuous replay aircraft override" and "Replay from URL" were pushed to next on 2021-2-19.
* Replay of Continuous recordings from URL:
** Downloads to local file in the background while replaying.
** Reuses local file if present, appending to it in the background if it was a partial download.
