NEW features in Camera Manager Update December 2021 :
- NEW FEATURE ADDED Camera Movments Record and Replay (MSFS P3D) : independently
from the aircraft flight situation. You can record both usual aircraft flight AND the camera movements at once in the same and unique flight situation file OR you can prefer to record ONLY the camera movements, in its respective FCR file. The simple recording of the usual aircraft flight is still possible of course.
For example, you can use this new feature to work and record an advanced camera path, impressive camera effects, in order to apply them to several and different flight situation Replays, to replicate these camera moves in multiple videos. - NEW FEATURE ADDED Camera Controls Override (MSFS only) : To complete the above features, you need easy and quick controls of the camera in MSFS. That’s why the main camera controls can be set through the simple and clear interface of FlightControlReplay ! You will be able to set your shortcuts of all Camera controls directly in FCR Options Menu ! Setting your key shortcuts here, will override the MSFS controls.
MSFS has a long list of controls, with near to endless selection windows. The goal here is to focus on the most
used and simple camera controls, in a single window (our option menu). 12 camera controls visible at once
are ready for key assignment ! For Prepar3D users, we still rely on the default settings controls of the sim.
More advanced settings have been also added with fine tuning of ptich / bank / heading / eyepoint velocity with only 0.10 notch increment (instead of 10 units per notch in MSFS default settings)
Other Features:
- Record a flight situation and also your voice during flight,
- Unlimited length flight
- Voice and Speech recognition to control FlightControlReplay, or in-game menu, or user friendly software interface
- Various complex airliners add-ons full support (P3D FSX)
- and many more to discover below..

Detailed features :
- Video Rendering Mode
Using FCR FrameByFrame technology, it doesn’t matter how many frames you achieved during the flight record, because the result is interpolated to guarantee a very smooth final video. Option settings let you change the Frame Per Second of the render (15-240) and the Quality recording percentage (10-100). This feature can be very useful for video makers used in conjunction with "PlayMode Simulation Rate" feature.
- Change Recording Camera
Select any sim camera available on the Yellow Slider timeline during Replay. The available cameras for selection include the categories ( Cockpit / External / Showcase ) and the camera detailed listing for that category (all pilots views, instruments views and external views). Only your custom cameras you may have set yourself are not currently supported, but all the default cameras of the simulators ARE.
- Automatic Change Camera
Call and activate any custom cockpit camera, smartcam or other default MSFS / P3D camera by choosing a keyboard shortcut ! Setup the keyboard shortcut, that you configured in “MSFS Controls section”, inside the CameraChange Dialog and this will be be triggered at the chosen frame. When Replay reaches this frame, FCR triggers the keyboard shortcut and automatically activates the Camera Change that you set.
- Re-Live InstantReplay
Rewind and play again ! While flying, using FlightControlReplay in InstantReplay mode allows to go backward over the last 2 minutes of the User flight. Move the Yellow Slider backward, to the left, and you will display your last seconds of flight. Whenever you want, from any Yellow Slider point, you can resume your flight by simply pushing the Stop Button. In case of Crash to Desktop when this mode is activated, your airplane is restored in its last known position.
- PlayAsAI support up to 5 AI aircraft in each FCR instance, Unlimited Traffic with more instances
Simulate formation flight during your flight replay. Your recorded flight path is replayed as AI Traffic. Add as many aircraft as you want : You can manage up to 5 AI aircraft to replay your flight path as AI Traffic with each FCR instance. And reach unlimited traffic with AI Aircraft by using more than one instance of FCR addon at the same time. You can choose and play your preferred Recorded Flight as AI Traffic. You have all the options available as in standard playing mode, to change the simulation rate on the fly or via the yellow slider of the User interface to choose exactly where your AI Traffic can start his flight. Switch View and Aircraft Control are new options made possible in PlayAsAI mode so can watch one selected AI aircraft, and you can decide to take control of this AI aircraft too, at anytime during Replay.
- Load Replay without loading initial Flight Situation
With just an option box to tick, save your time. When it’s active, this option allows FlightControlReplay to load your Replay flight and it directly restores your complete flight situation settings including its weather and location at the same time. You don’t need to load in a first step your recorded flight, and as second step, separately in the simulator itself, load also your FLT file. At once, FCR software will bring all the necessary data along your Replay.

Current Version: 2112 - Camera Manager Update December 2021
Give the chance to record AI meanwhile you can record the user aircraft . Last hut not least you can also record
Camera movements !!! The best tool for flight simulator 2020 ! Great job . Five stars
about a week ago. It is absolutely wonderful, reliable and stable. It does what it says ( it does a lot!!!) without affecting the pc resources, especially with such a "hungry" and demanding program, like msfs 2020 where every frame rate counts. I can't wait for the next update which will do even more.
The service is also professional. I had a question for Fabio, the author of the program and received a reply in a few hours!!!
I absolutely love FlightControlReplay.
Highly recommended.
An important note: DO NOT FORGET TO RUN THE PROGRAM AS ADMINISTRATOR
It has no stutters or jitter , it is useful thanks also to camera change automatic feature and RELIVE features.
FlightControlReplay is a milestone in the 3rd party addons , it permits a lot of things :
Replay , Instant Replay, Video Rendering ,Flight Analysis , integration with XBOX controller and Microsoft Surface.
Unfortunately, still far too much instability at the moment, preventing the use of all functions in a serene manner. Indeed, I know frequent windows desktop returns.
Warning, if I put 3 canvases it's not because the software is bad, it's just that it needs updates to make it more stable.
I'll be sure to make another comment with more star once the updates are done.
