FlightControlReplay version 5, the leading Replay and Recording tool for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024/2020 and Prepar3D v5–v6, continues its evolution with another significant update. Known for its advanced feature set—including MP4 video export, Cinematic Replay, AI PlayBack, camera path recording, and deep compatibility with complex aircraft—FCR5 remains an essential asset for simmers and content creators alike.

Today, all registered users receive a new free update that delivers major upgrades in performance, stability, and aircraft support across the board.

Smoother Replay with a New Adaptive Algorithm

The standout improvement in this update is the introduction of a real-time FPS-aware learning algorithm. By analyzing the user’s live framerate curve, FCR5 dynamically adjusts replay behavior, resulting in exceptionally smooth playback under all conditions.

The improvements include:

Elimination of stutters during heavy scenery use

Fluid playback during complex or demanding approaches

More reliable results for video creators

Smarter Altitude-Based Auto-Record Functionality

A new altitude-triggered auto-recording system now allows creators to automatically stop recording when the aircraft crosses a selected altitude threshold. This enhancement provides:

Cleaner, more precise recordings

Fully automated workflows for creators and streamers

Better segmentation for training, procedures, and tutorial production

Midnight Recording Bug Resolved

A long-standing issue that caused recordings to stop at 00:00 has finally been fixed. This correction benefits a wide range of aircraft, including:

iniBuilds A310

Fly The Maddog X

Salty 747

HPG H145

Just Flight 146 Professional

Aerosoft CRJ Professional and others

Expanded Compatibility for Premium Aircraft

FCR5 expands its industry-leading custom aircraft support with compatibility improvements for several high-end aircraft. Enhancements include refined animations, surfaces, flight model behavior, and system playback for:

iFly 737 MAX

Airbus A310

Airbus A320 v2

Fenix A3xx series

JustFlight F28

PMDG 777

Boeing 727

RELIVE Enhancements and Control Precision Improvements

The RELIVE instant replay system, which allows users to jump back in time without interrupting the flight, has been optimized for better performance and stability. Additional improvements include:

Faster, smoother time-shifting

Improved responsiveness

Enhanced data handling

Elevator motion has also been refined, offering:

More accurate pitch behavior

Better tracking for dynamic camera work

Improved cinematic replay quality

Reworked View Switching System

A redesigned logic system now governs transitions between User Aircraft and PlayAsAI modes. Users can expect:

Faster switching

Reduced visual anomalies

More reliable workflows for cinematic shots

Exclusive Features for MSFS 2024 Users
