Hello,
please find here a succesful attempt to record the aircrafts surrounding the user one. Regularly the simconnectMSFS singleton will wake up and ask the aircraft list around. Then it will request a set of information for a limited period. If the aircraft is still around on the next wake up, the recording will continue. If not, the recording will stop by itself (a bit later).

I have tested it on FsLTL and Vatsim. It does work well and it is difficult to tell during the replay that it was a replay.
For one hour with 25 aircrafts it does work smoothly. Longer would not be a main issue, knowing that all is stored in RAM.

I tried to keep as much as possible existing features but didn't succeed on:

  1. Interpolation: For simplicity I have remove this mechanism. The refresh rate on my PC is high and I didn't feel the need for it
  2. Replay AI: This original feature is removed. This is not a big deal to put it back.

Thing that would need to be improved:

  1. Lights: I didn't succeed to capture the information for the AI aircraft. I have been obliged to "fake" it for them. Work around is working fine.
  2. Save: The save mechanism is not changed but the massive amount of data makes the mechanism slow.

I'm open to improve this evolution.
Kind regards
