Hey

     Tried doing a search for solution..can't find it..soooo..

     Here it is..I did a FSRecord of a flight and then was gonna fly again with the first fsrecord as traffic..and low and behold ...as I approached the first P-51D I see the external tanks trailing like on a string being pulled along...I dropped these tanks at the beginning of the first fsrecord...so what is the solution...

If I understand correctly, I'm going to hazard a guess that "dropable objects" are seen as separate objects.  When flyuing the sim and recording, it looks good at the time, but on replay, things may lag a bit, so the dropable object will not be in the right spot.  I guess you could test that by starting your flight on the runway, and see if the tanks are in the correct possition, then start to taxi and take off, and see if the tanks stay where they are supposed to be.

It's a glitch in FSRecorder. Try dropping the tanks before takeoff and save the flight. Then try opening the saved flight which should open with tanks off. Now try FSRecorder.

LOL...please re-read my post just before you replied...

I did drop the tanks before take off...before I started to record..in FSRecord...and the play back show me what you saw in the picture..

you didnt save the flight, then reopen it so you would not have the tanks to start with.  THEN start FSrecorder and see what happens.

do the tanks still follow you?

Okay I've seem to have figured it out...here is a photo of two planes in formation..both are me flying them..one is a pre-recorded..trailer is me also was recorded then played back and you see no trailing tanks..



Thanks all for you interest in helping..

How about posting the solution. It might be helpful to others.
