Watch Replay - Replay puts Aircraft in Different Position

[Igor4U]

This has happened a number of times to me in the recent past (once late last year and just today):

 

In Quickstart Mission (Free Flight) for both the MiG-15 and MiG-21 I approach and land at the nearest Airfield.

 

The Landing work out OK;

 

But (the Problem is) when I watch the Track Playback (Replay) - the Jet offsets Left or Right of the Runway anywhere from a few feet (land in dirt) to a few hundred meters (land in buildings).

 

??????

 

Any Ideas why Playback (Watch Track) would position the aircraft differently from where it actually flew (and landed) ?

tracks are deeply broken, my advice is if you want to record flights, use tacview and then simply record video with OBS (or your choice of recorder) or both.

Apart from updates that can change things, even dynamics weather can impact tracks.

It is related to the Track concept, that "records" control inputs, and starting conditions etc.

During replay with dynamic weather for example can change the calculated wind and simply blow you off the runway, as the recorded rudder input won't match the new wind condition.

 

Also tracks tend to break between release updates. So a track recorded in 1.5.1 can have totally different replay in 1.5.2 this is especially true for planes in beta state, that get changes to the flight model! Basically your control inputs get a slightly different result, every time the flight model is touched. ;)
