Editing Tracks

[bluepilot76]

Hi sorry if this is in the manual, I have no access to it at the moment. Tried search too!

 

Is it possible to edit a track? I flew for about 1 hour and whilst heads down in a turn at altitude was suddently blown up. According to my debrief it was a midair collision.

 

I would like to ananlyse the crash a bit but dont want to play through such a long track repeatedly so I was hoping I could edit it to only see the last couple of minutes?

 

Can it be done??

No editing of tracks IIRC but you can speed up and slow time using shift z and cntl z

It sometimes gets desynced and bits of the track appear random its the best I can suggest:)

I feared as much. Maybe I can capture a video or something. This Fraps thing I hear about sometimes...

Try Tacview. It won't help with the existing track but for the future.

It is not as pretty but it should tell you what happened and the tracks are hosed if you speed up in my experience. Even with a five minute bomb run track.

 

Fraps is here.

Hi Guys, thanks for your help! Definately going to check out those programs. If its anything cool I will post the video!

Is there any 2015-2016 updated info on the ability to edit a track after the flight. Maybe something as simple as just cutting the entire track down externally to send a clip of the grand crash.

I tried to make a track of playing dangerous games with a Zsu23 flying around it avoiding it's fire. I played the track back and the AAA hit me on the second shot and the plane went down. This didn't happen in the actual game!

 

I have also watched back tracks of weapons runs where all 6 mavericks hit their targets, but on watching the track back 3 of them missed and I got shot down by the ZSU I had actually hit with the first missile.

Tracks are completely unreliable, and if I remember correctly downright break 100% of the time as soon as a missile of any kind is fired.

 

You'd be better off with TacView.

TacView is very good, wouldn't want to miss it.
