Hi SD,

Do you mean an *.ftr file or an *.rpy file?

Flight track (*.ftr) analysis does not allow 3D views at all, but replay files (*.rpy) allow all camera views:

Press the F9 key to toggle between the camera view saved with the *.rpy file and free camera views. The F1, F2, F3, F4 keys then work as expected.

Thx for reply mark.

Sorry, i dont mean the flight track. What i wanted to say is that when i watch a reply i cant get to access the other cameras. Reply keeps playing by the same view i used when it was recorded.

I pressed other camera's keys but none are working... no F9, nothing.... i pressed simply all the keys of my keyboard and none work when watching video...

Help

Have you got a microsoft keyboard?
I need to switch modes by pressing "F Lock" on mine

- only then does F9 etc work.

Serginio,

as I understand, the "F" keys are working in free flight, so there is no problem with key bindings etc.

In replay, first press F9 to switch from "replay camera" to "custom camera" and then other cameras will work.

Regards,

I have a microsoft wireless keyboard - the "F" (function) keys are dedicated - e.g. F4 is "New", F9 is "Send" - to cancel this there is an "F Lock" key at the end of the function keys which toggles modes. It's really irritating

- there are programs about to disable this functionality.

Errr...

Looks like I've complicated a simple problem.
