In Track replay i would like take controle of an AI plane

[ROCKET 1-1]

Hello for video maker it would be cool if we could take controle of an AI aircraft. 
So we could record an other track with special actions without to be in a multiplayer missions. And so on . It could be like a layer process... Track by Track.

RAlt+J "Jump into selected aircraft"

What I wish we had and don't understand why we don't as it seems all the pieces are already there, is the ability to fly along with a track we already recorded, so you could, say, become your own aerobatics team with every plane flown by yourself in a separate run of the Track.

That's the bit I thought it worked with replays, but don't.

What if you Esc > Take control and then change aircraft and jump into it?

Good idea, just tried it and yes, it works, however once you jump the other aircraft no longer follows the waypoint but heads to the nearest friendly airbase...

I have done this for a cinematic video, perform the SEAD part of the mission in an F16 with an A10 parked close by as I leave - RTB and watch the A10 taxiing out,  then jump into the A10 for the CAS element...

Track reading is stopped the moment you take control. When you leave your aircraft it becomes AI without any tasks. Same problem in CA.

This is the behaviour that I would expect hence my comments above as to how I 'achieved' it.
