Hi All,
I've been having a problem with making a formation flying scenario demonstration.
I'm able to record two aircraft flying for formation, they all look smooth. No problem here.
However when I put both aircraft into the same scenario and have them played back I run into a very bad stutter problem. The lead aircraft (Ai Playback) seems to be out of sink of what the other player is seeing (Player is viewing a playback too)
Looking to see if anyone has a solutions for this stutter?
Cheers,
Alex

Re: Formation Recording Stutter
I have had this problem for a while which has prohibited any formation flying work that I have produced to be used.
What I have noticed is that if you load a flight recording and you then fly after it with a user controlled aircraft, there is seemingly no stutter in the AI aircraft until you start to get closer at which point the stutter get progressively worse.
Unfortunately I don't know of any way to make it work at the moment so would be interested as well if someone has a fix.

Re: Formation Recording Stutter
Not sure about the first post in a recording, however I have found an AI will stutter when in close formation with FPS set to MAX, The shaking stops if I drop to anything other than MAX.BaldBeagle wrote: ↑Tue Sep 24, 2019 2:35 pm I have had this problem for a while which has prohibited any formation flying work that I have produced to be used.

Re: Formation Recording Stutter
For my similar experience I found that locking the FPS to 30 or 32 would reduce the noticability of this significantly. This is also somehting that has helped when using connected distributed platforms (eg JoinFS).NormanLGibson wrote: ↑Mon Oct 07, 2019 5:04 am

It may also be worth looking into the recording that you made initially. Check the RecordingandPlayback.xml and check the HZ rate of major parametres. It might be worth trying to increase the polling / playback frequency of major attributes.

Re: Formation Recording Stutter
Thanks for that. From my understanding and correct me if I'm wrong, the RecordingandPlayback.xml is only for P3Dv3 ?Novawing24 wrote: ↑Wed Oct 23, 2019 5:25 am

I know that you can change some settings for P3Dv4 via the .cfg with regards to the HZ Rate.

Re: Formation Recording Stutter
From what I can see it has not been depreciated and is still in the v4 documentation as current process. If you do not define your own RecordAndPlayback.xml then it will revert back to the DefaultRecordAndPlayback.xml in you AppData folderAlexReynolds1 wrote:
