Notable flight record posting site

[machtu]

Every once in a great while I have a flight video that is worth sharing.  I've looked around and only found screenshot posting sites.  Is there a way to share flight record videos?

Thanks for the point out.  It looks like it needs to be converted to a you tube video to share.  Went from there to a YT how to create tutorial.  

 

Too bad, was hoping for a simpler process.

^ Mind you, given the fact that replay tracks are not meant to be backwards compatible and WILL stop working correctly after few game updates (sometimes even after the very next one), converting to a video is the only way for you to "save for posterity".

You can share in any format you want, but you'll need to provide a link to where your video is stored (such as Drop Box, Google Drive, Twitch, or YouTube). Of course something like YouTube gives you unlimited uploads and plays (as far as I am aware).

The stumbling block for me is the effort it would take me to learn the video editing process.  It looks like something I could somewhat master, but would take quite awhile to learn it.  

 

However, regarding the flight tracks becoming obsolete after updates, I thought there was a way to update them to current flight record data criteria.  Is there not?

If there weren't, Baby Shark wouldn't have 9.9 billion views.... Hope that one was monetized.

 

nVidia GeForce Experience works well for re-recording tracks to save. Free to boot. You can also edit your tracks in game to save whatever views you want obviously. That too works well.

My youngest granddaughter has a few thousand of those views. Me too.

It looks like this feature has stopped working unfortunately.

It's working for me. When you choose the track you want to edit, click on the edit tab to load the track. The Record icon will be visible when the track loads. Make changes in whatever fashion you choose. When finished, click save. I just tried it on a Free Flight track and a Duel. Both played back correctly when viewed.

I haven’t used it in a long time. It came up in another thread so I tried it again and it didn’t seem to work like I remember. I recall it basically eliminating where you have the track paused between “takes”. I don’t see a “save” choice anymore either.

When the track finishes playing, it has a save tab and an exit tab. It seems to be working as always to me.

Aha maybe you have to go to the end of the track to get it to finish.
