Magician Posted June 14, 2014 Posted June 14, 2014 (edited) Is there any way to control whether changes you make to the view in replay get saved over the original views used when recording the track? Any way to get the original views back once they are overwritten? Any documentation on how that works? I swear that sometimes I can change the views while replaying, and the next time I play it, it still has the original views, but generally, the views change to the views I used in replay. I know that I can make a copy of the trk file and only mess with that, keeping the original file/views intact, but is there any in-game way to handle that? (beyond saving it twice with two different names) Edited June 14, 2014 by Magician
Flagrum Posted June 14, 2014 Posted June 14, 2014 Nothing gets overwritten, afaik. When you click "Watch Track" at the debriefing screen, you will see what happened during the last flight - wether that was you really flying or just you watching a replay. But if you save the track at the debriefing screen first, you can always revert to that - it remains unaltered.

Not on mine, I always save before watching (mainly in case my computer crashes during the replay). Sometimes I get the original the next time I replay it, sometimes I get the views I used the last time I replayed it. And I never save after watching the replay. I'm thinking the views get changed when you watch it to the end, but not if you quit earlier, that seems possible.

At debriefing screen: Save Track 3. Watch Track, changed views a few times 4. Waitet until track replay was finished and were back at debriefing screen 5. Close, back to main menu 6. Replay: selected previously saved track 7. Replay showed original flight, without view changes

Replay showed original flight, without view changes I just did the opposite, quit early on the replay, and the track showed the original views on successive replay, now I need to try to replay it to the end and see if it changes. Seriously though, I have a bunch of tracks with the views I used during replay.. without having saved after the replay.
9.JG27 DavidRed Posted June 15, 2014 Posted June 15, 2014 well, i had the same problem like the OP, but just the oposite.... when i saved a track and replayed it with different views, and safed the replay then, the new views were not safed but it always went back to the original track, regardless whether i saved the replayed track under a different name, or just overwrote the original one..
