Instant Reply Jumpy

I agree with you, I've not seen others complain about this.

The answer is in how "instant replay" works. During a flight, your point position and attitude (yaw/pitch/heading) is recorded in a temporary file on your hard drive every time a frame is up dated. This temporary file is deleted when you exit or save a flight mission. I get annoyed about that because I save during a flight but loose "View Flight Analysis" data prior to the last save. Instant Replay uses this file to reconstruct a time period of the flight. An instant replay can't show control surface movements or visible nearby traffic.

I suspect you computer is having difficultly writing or reading data from the hard drive smoothly. Maybe disk cleanup and defraging could help.

Thanks, Oldsamer...I would agree. I also noticed the control surfaces and the landing lights do not work in Instant Replay. If I run Instant Replay after I have shut down the aircraft, it assumes that configuration when viewing Instant Replay. I believe the cockpit view on Instant Replay is normal, just the outside view is jerky. I will clean my disk drive (defrag) and see if that helps.

It won't, its from Aces.

So much better.

Thanks Razgr1z912, I have downloaded it and will test it out. I ran more tests earlier and found inside the cockpit is smooth, the side view, outside is smooth, only the outside view, where I can move the view around the plane is jerky. Hopefully, this add-on will solve that problem for me.

I have the same problem and I have a relatively good system with Gforce 880 gtx card and 3.6 Gh CPU+ 2Gb mem.. In my case I am switching to outside->locked view and it is ok. Please let me know if it is helps in your case. See previous posts on the subject from the Jan-2008 (FSX INSTANT REPLAY.......JERKY!)

Thanks, Rafi...yea, I noticed my outside locked view works just fine. I will investigate the Jan '08 discussion and see if that will help me. I downloaded the recorder that Razgr1z912 suggested, but I am unable to understand how to make it work, I must be missing something here.

I cannot find the Jan-2008 (FSX INSTANT REPLAY.......JERKY!) reply. I tried Flight Simulator X General and Flight Simulator X addons/downloads.
Can you give me a page number?

Thanks, Rafi...I will check it out and let you know what I find.

I just read the info sent in January 2008 and believe I will now use the tower view or the fixed position view to look at my landings from now on. It appears to be the best and smoothest views, anyway.

Thanks for your help.
