Record your flight
First, launch Microsoft Flight Simulator.
Next, start "FlightRecorder.Client.exe".
A screen like this will appear.
The button labeled "Record" at the top left of the screen is the button to start recording.
If you click the "Stay on top" button at the bottom right of the screen, the Flight Recorder window will always be displayed on top.
In Microsoft Flight Simulator, fly to the point just before you want to start recording.
Then press the "Record" button in Flight Recorder to start recording.
You can start recording even before takeoff or when the airplane is stopped, but be sure to start recording after starting the engine.
While the flight is being recorded, a screen like this will appear.
The amount of data recorded so far is displayed in the "Total" column.
Click the "Stop Recording" button to end recording.
What is recorded are operations such as the airplane's position, speed, gear, etc. Camera operations are not recorded.
When you finish recording, a screen like this will appear.
The altitude of the recorded flight is displayed as a graph.
Click the "Replay" button to start playing the recorded flight.
Click the "Save" button to save the recorded flight as a ".fltrec" format file.
Replay your flight
Start Microsoft Flight Simulator and get it to the state you are in right before you want to play the flight.
Next, start "FlightRecorder.Client.exe".
Then click the "Load" button to load the flight recording file (.fltrec) you want to play.
Next, click "Replay" to start playing the recorded flight.
Click the "Pause Replay" button during playback to pause the flight. The plane will stop on the spot, even if it's in the air.
If you click the "Resume Replay" button while paused, flight will resume.
Clicking the "Stop Replay" button during playback will end playback. The plane continues its flight. You take over the controls.
With Microsoft Flight Simulator's [READY TO FLY] screen open, click "Replay" on Flight Recorder to start playing the flight here as well.
The camera automatically switches one after another to follow the plane.
You can watch the flight as if you were a spectator, just like an image video.
You can change the playback position by dragging the slide bar displayed above the graph to the left or right. The plane will jump to the position specified with the slide bar. However, the screen may be distorted at first because the scene cannot be loaded quickly enough.
