Flight School - Ghosts in Replays (lessons)

Post by CondorSi » Tue Jan 05, 2021 7:02 pm

Hi,

I am working to build lessons for Flight School, and would like to show Ghosts in the lessons - invoked when the user "Views" the lesson. The lessons are Replay files.

If I save a Replay with a Ghost (a prior saved Flight Track), I can see the ghost in my lesson. So far, so good, and a lesson on Lookout can be very effective.

However, I doubt the lesson can be distributed to another Condor user, since I have noticed that the Replay file has a hard-coded reference to the location of the Ghost Flight Track in my Users directory - e.g. C:\Users\UKGC\Documents\Condor\FlightTracks\lesson.ftr .
I created a folder within Flight School to hold these ghosts, moved the files, and used Notepad to amend this location accordingly, but it didn't work.

So, how can a Ghost (.ftr file) be included in a replay for use with Flight School on a third party's computer?
