Sky Dolly - The black sheep for your flight recordings.

About

Sky Dolly connects to a running Flight Simulator 2020 instance and records various simulation variables, for replay.

Sky Dolly v0.4.0

The connection is made via SimConnect, a standard API introduced with Flight Simulator X to connect with the flight simulator. So while I cannot test this myself Sky Dolly theoretically also works with flight simulators other than Flight Simulator 2020.

Features

  • Record / Pause / Play
  • Settable recording sample rate: fixed or variable ("auto")
  • Adjustable replay speed ("slow motion", "timelapse")
  • Position and basic flight control simulation variables (ailerons, rudder, flaps, gears, ...) are recorded
  • Basic CSV import & export

For new and upcoming features also refer to the CHANGELOG.

Basic Usage

  • Start a flight
  • Click on "Record" (key R)
  • You may pause recording (key P)
  • Stop recording (key R) and click on "Play" (spacebar)
  • Adjust the replay speed and seek the play position, also during playback

Why don't you try it with one of the guided "Tell Tours"? :)
