"Snap Shot" Functionality

[Cepheus76]

Would it be possible to add a "snap shot" functionality to the sim, which allows to save a situation during a flight and export it as .miz-file? In "real" aircraft sims such a functionality also exists to allow for better reviewing of a situation and to make efficient use of available sim time.

 

Right now I'm trying to learn to land properly aboard the Super Carrier, however, for reasons which may be totally related to my flying skills I receive a lot of wave-offs, some of them at the last second. It would be great if I could take a "snap shot" of the whole situation, e.g. some time on downwind, so that I could just jump back to this point in time instead of having to fly the whole wave-off pattern time and again.

 

Another example would be for a variety of weapon delivery practices or air to air combat situations. Especially for the latter, I was often watching the track afterwards and more than once thought that at a given situation I could have tried something different. Again, it would be nice to be able to just jump back to that point and try a different tactic.

 

Especially for those of us who aren't entirely familiar with all the possibilities of the mission editor a snap-shot function would allow to create within an existing mission a desired training situation and then make use of it onwards.

 

Thanks for considering this,

IIRC you can take control in the track at anytime, used to do this for the same reasons you describe. Haven't done it for a long time though. But I think it is still possible.

True, but then you would have to watch the whole track until you reach the point where you want to take control. I rather be able to save a situation and start right from there.

[MAXsenna]

Ahhh... Misread you. I thought you were already doing that.

Okay, then I second your suggestion!

I second this as well highly under rated thread

This would be a great addition to single player mode. Fly one attack in a mission, land and then save mission and start a new attack the next day, even maybe with a different aircraft. I like it. :thumbup:

True, but tracks are anything but reliable now. I don't know how many tracks

I have that show me crashing within a couple of minutes. I would be trying to make a

video of some awesome stuff that happened, but never make it to that point

because my plane or helo just decides to do a swan dive.

This happens way too often to just be a random bug. It's the system.

AFAIK the track system doesn't record what has happened, it will only record the inputs of the player aircraft.

 

So if you change the conditions where those inputs are given, the track will result to completely wrong.

 

The track system should be updated to include the aircraft coordinates in the game own system, that to be used for all missiles and all units location primarily.

 

As now you just put replay file going and in 2-3 minutes the aircraft is doing something completely different thing each time you play it.

It is not fun when you want to record a position of 15 minutes in, when in a track it is that you are crashed on the ground and looking up in the sky as your head movements.... :D

Yup. If you read my other post, you'd see I'd misunderstood OP.

While with the current track replay syrem it would probably be impossible, but an addition of a seeking bar with rewind, and specific time selections would be nice.

It would be great to be able to save and reload progress from any mission. It’s been requested a lot. Unfortunately I understand the game can’t do this.
