If so, if you end overdubbing early, do the planes disappear or just stop where they are (or continue at constant speed) as they were and remain in the scene?
I'll end up testing this all out later anyway so only asking if it is a quick answer and you know off the top of your head.
But JoinFS is exactly what I have been looking for. Hopefully the formation teams will start using it and posting their contest runs as JoinFS files so people can watch and even practice with them!
Thanks for the comments, Robert.
Yes, overdubbing will effectively insert and overlay the new bits into the whole of the existing recording. Same as those old tape cassettes
I believe that the planes will disappear where that overdubbed recording had finished. Let me know if you have a suggestion on changing the way that works.

Not at the moment. But there's no reason why you couldn't play back in JoinFS and at the same time record using some other video or recorder program.
Sorry about the lost file. You have to do 'Save Recording', but I need to add a warning about closing without saving.
Robert wrote:Peter - would it be possible to include the option to have planes persist after their flights end? Reason I ask is that scenario I e-mail you about has a Pitts finish his routine and park. He then disappears when I stopped that recording even though other dubbed flights last longer. It would be cool to be able to just have it park and stay where it was instead of winking out. But that's OK too. Not sure how to best implement. If people end a recording while a plane is in the air, does it just halt and hang there or better to disappear? Too many fiddly features and it gets overly complex. Just mentioning.
I could re-enable the AI control. I'm not sure where it would go when flying, but when on the ground it would at least stay where it was. I could probably add a preference setting for it anyway.
Thanks, Pete
