Can you record more than one plane with FSRecorder?
Here is the scenario: Say I want to record an aircraft flying along-side a previously recorded aircraft. Sounds simple but, it never works. I just get a recording of the second aircraft. FSRecorder, for some reason, doesn't record the the first recording again. I hope this makes sense.
Any help or ideas appreciated

When you start to record, make sure the "record AI" box is checked when you playback as AI.

That won't do the trick, as Recorder will not record the flights he is currently playing.
You have to record the aircrafts one by one. The trick is that you can play as traffic several recordings at a time

So if you want to make a formation flight with 3 planes, you record the first one, then you play it as AI, and record your flight while you fly as wingman. Then when you're back on the runway, you play again as AI the flight of the leader, and the flight of the wingman as well. Both will appear. So you'll be able to fly with them.

Ah so thtas how its done!!

Yeah, mine came back, for some reason. I've always liked that playback feature because I don't have internet on my FSX computer, so I can't do multiplayer.

Thanks Daube
That's been a mystery to me for a while...........thought eventually I'd figure it out on my own :-?
Thanks again

You're welcome.
Also, another important info is that FS Recorder usually HATES the unlimited FPS setting. If you try to play a recorded aircraft as AI and fly with it in formation, you'll see that the aircraft "jumps" back and forth quicly.
Just set your FPS to a reasonnable limit, the plane will get stable.

Right i've recorded my first plane, now how do i record the second and third?
