Replay of a log (used for overlay in a video)

It would be really nice to be able to run SkyDemon from log data.  I've been doing IMC training so my track logs overlap several times in an hour of flight.  I have found I can load the log in and then drag the aircraft across th‌‌e virtual radar box and it plots it on the track line.  It would be nice to be able to replay sections of the log in real time (or even 2x would be handy) though to see exactly what I had done.

I appreciate it seems to be a bit of a niche requirement but thought I'd put my +1 in for this feature on the off chance.‌

I like to make video's of my flights, enrich these video's with speed, altitude and course data (Dashware, Virb Edit...), but I also look for a way to display a portion of the chart (picture in picture) during 'the flight'. One has done it in a very complex work around to obtain this result:


There is a simulator available in SD, is it an option to couple the sim to one of the logs in order to replay the flight? There are tools available on the web to record the screen for further processing in a video editor. Although I do not refuse a built in recorder in SD...

A little late to the party, but I think what you are looking for can be achieved in CloudAhoy (but not SD, as far as I'm aware). Would be great if the same functionality could be introduced into SD though because I would also like to embed a moving map of my flights in videos.

Look today for an option to replay, shooting an ILS approach. I was looking to see how I tracked the glideslope, and stumbled on this old thread.

In my gliding i use XCSoar for both preflight and inflight tactical planning , as I do with Skydemon flying powered planes. However in XCSoar i have the option to reply the track, and here I can also see my data like airspeed, altitude, vario etc. which is great for post flight debrief and learning. I would love the same option in Skydemon, beyond the option to export to Google Earth, which is great for some purposes. Just leaving my comment to show support for playback features Smile

I now help myself with a screen recorder on my phone, but it's not ideal. All actions performed with the phone then become visible.
I already see a few +1's in the previous posts, so maybe this will trigger SD to stay one extra step ahead of Foreflight. Wink
FF is now being aggressively promoted by Jeppesen, because without FF you will soon not be able to use the digital IFR and VFR charts.

A +1 from me too

I'd like to +1 this feature as well, please.‌
Also,  for  what it's worth, I think this is a good marketing feature. I for one have found out about SkyDemon from youtube videos where people used a SkyDemon replay of their flight. I think making this easier for people to do would increase the SkyDemon presence out there.

I have created a solution to this problem! SkyDemon can export the track of a logged flight in GPX format. It can also connect to the XPlane simulator and display real-time the simulated track. I have written some software that can replay the logged GPX file in the XPlane simulator format. You can then screen record from SkyDemon while replaying the track with my software. Happy to make this available, if anyone wants to give it a go?

Completely agree - and that would remove the necessity of having both cloudAhoy and SD running while flying :-)

65 USD/year subscription. And less functionality outside FAA data regions, for the same money...

If you have PilotAware you can use the track log from that and playback over SkyDemon, do a screen record, et voila.

Another +1
I would like to have this feature too, for my GoPro flight videos to show my flown route.
All is needed is a replay button when one loads up a log so it replays the flight in real time. Then it's possible to capture it as a video with a screen recorder then put the video on top of the other.
Wouldn't think it's very challenging technically and would add another nice feature to the app Smile
