Update! MSFS2020 - Flight Recorder App - V.0.24

A simple recorder to record and replay flight in Microsoft Flight Simulator.

Features

• Record and replay in the sim
• Change replaying speed
• NOTE: when speeding up, your computer might not be able to load scenery fast enough and that will negatively affect frame rate.
• Save recording into a file and load it on another computer
• Export the recorded data into CSV for further analysis
• Quickly jump to any place in your recording (you have to Pause Replay first)

Version 0.24

• - Add initial support for KML export
• - Fix issue where aileron deflection is reversed on aircraft with fly-by-wire system (e.g. A320, F/A18) (thanks @till213, the creator of the excellent Sky Dolly replay software, for figuring this out and sharing the solution with me)

• Fix a crash when the time handle is drag to the last frame

Current Limitations and Other Notes

• When starting a replay, your aircraft might be teleported to a far away location which doesn't have loaded terrain. This means the ground can jump up/down really quickly and you might get a crash (not CTD) due to damaged landing gear. Disable crash detection might be a good idea if you frequently replay your flight.
• I don’t know a reliable way to tell if an engine is running or not, so this tool does not auto-start the engine (because it doesn’t know when). Hence, you should start recording/replaying when engine is already running (or the aircraft will move without a running engine) and stop recording before turning off the engine (not really a problem, but the tool might not shut the engine down for you). Not doing that won't prevent you from replaying or using any features, but replay can look like your aircraft is powered by magic ;).
• Replay looks weird when turning on the ground. I’m not so sure what is happening there yet.
• To prevent fighting with MSFS own calculation, the tool sends freeze command when you start replay and unfreeze when you stop replay. This means replaying might conflict with other tools leverating the same freeze feature (e.g. YourControl when you are not in control, other replay tools).
