Sky Dolly - The Black Sheep for Your Flight Recordings

About

Sky Dolly is an external, stand-alone application that let's you record and replay your flights in Microsoft Flight Simulator (MSFS). It can also simultaneously replay previously recorded aircraft during recording, making it in effect possible to "iteratively record your own formation flights".

Recording supports multiple sample rates, from 1 Hz up to "auto" ("as data becomes available"). In any case the aicraft position data is interpolated (with cubic Hermite splines), resulting in a smooth flight path.

Recording and replay is done by storing so-called simulation variables that represent the aircraft state. Sky Dolly connects with the flight simulator via the SimConnect API, a standard API introduced with FSX back in the days.

Modules

A plugin-based architecture makes Sky Dolly extendable with new functionality, while at the same time reducing the memory footprint (RAM) to a minimum. The following plugins - or modules - are currently available:

  • Logbook - all your flights are automatically stored in the logbook and can be loaded with a single mouse-click. In fact, the underlying storage is an SQL database (SQLite), making powerful filter queries possible
  • Formation - this module let's you control your aircraft in the formation, set relative positions to each other, or simply join interactively an existing formation flight. Recordings with over 30 aircraft didn't slow down the simulation in any noticeable way (*)
  • Location - the location module let's you quickly teleport to the selected location. Besides the position you also get control over the engine state (start, shutdown, keep), making it possible to define your own custom take-off points (for instance custom helipads). Sky Dolly comes with 100 system locations, all finetuned and with verified GPS coordinates. You can easily capture or add your own user locations, e.g. paste any GPS coordinate with CTRL + V into the location table

(*) See known "aircraft jitter" issue below

Import & Export Plugins

Various file formats can be imported or exported:

Flight data:

  • SDLOG - Sky Dolly logbook
  • CSV - import & export, including formats from flightradar24.com and Flight Recorder and a simple "position & attitude" format
  • IGC - International Gliding Commission - import & export
  • KLM - import for flightaware.com, flightradar24.com and generic KML, Google Earth export
  • GPX - import and export of the GPS exchange format
  • JSON - GeoJSON export

Locations:

  • CSV - import & export, including Sky Dolly and Little Navmap formats

For instance you can literally import all world update POIs and airports and more from e.g. here: Little Navmap - MSFS POI Database (made available by Rysatko here on flightsim.to).

Preview Release

Note that this is an early pre-release version. While it should run stable and all its present features should work as intended it is far from feature complete.

⚠️⚠️⚠️ IMPORTANT PATCH RELEASE: 0.15.1 ⚠️⚠️⚠️

Previous patch releases ( < 0.15.1) like the 0.13.1 and the previous 0.15.0 would generate a logbook backup each time the application was started (and if the logbook option "Before migration of an older logbook" is enabled, which is the case by default).

This has been fixed with the 0.15.1 patch relase.

How to reclaim storage space:

  • In Sky Dolly: File | Logbook Settings... | Show
  • In File Explorer: Open the Backups folder
  • Delete any logbook backups that are not required anymore (the file names contain the backup date)
Database Backup and Optimisation

Database backups can be automatically scheduled (once per month, once per week, never, ...) and are done after exiting the Sky Dolly application (where they may also be skipped). Before migration an update is also done. All backup options are now in the File | Logbook Settings... dialog.

By default the backup databases will be located in the same folder as the original "logbook", in a "Backups" subfolder, but can be changed when the Backup dialog shows up.

As flights are recorded and deleted the database file may grow considerably. Unused file space will be reclaimed at some point (by SQLite), but in case many flights have been deleted the database file can be optimised, by the "Optimise" command located in the File menu.

Earlier Releases

In case you want to still use the previous Sky Dolly versions you may download all previous releases from the github release page (the ZIP archives are identical to the one available here).

Source Code

The source code may be found at:

  https://github.com/till213/SkyDolly

Additional usage information (README) and a complete CHANGELOG is also available in the github.com source repository. You may want to compute the SHA-256 checksum of your downloaded ZIP archive and compare it against the SHA-256 checksums published on github.com, to verify the file integrity of your downloaded copy.

Reporting Problems

Problems can be reported here:

https://github.com/till213/SkyDolly/issues

A free github.com account is required though. "Small issues" may also be mentioned in the comment section below.

Installation

  • Unzip the ZIP archive to any location of your choice
  • Run SkyDolly.exe
  • Optional: you may associate Sky Dolly "logbooks" (files with the extension *.sdlog) with the Sky Dolly application:
    • in File Explorer: right-click on the logbook file and choose "Open with..."
    • Select the SkyDolly.exe application
    • Make sure to enable the "Always open with..." checkbox
    • The default logbook is located at: "c:\Users\[Your Username]\Documents\Sky Dolly\"
    • One the *.sdlog files are "associated" with Sky Dolly you can double-click on those files and a new Sky Dolly instance will start and open the selected logbook

Basic Usage

  • Start a flight in Flight Simulator 2020
  • In Sky Dolly, press the "Record" (key R) button
  • Stop the recording (either hit key R again, or ESC for "stop")
  • Press the "Play" button (spacebar)
  • Seek the play position (left and right arrow keys, page up/page down keys)
  • Adjust recording sample rates in the settings menu (also during recording)
  • Show flight information (key F)
    • Hint: press the same key F again to close the flight information dialog
  • Show the recorded "simulation variables" (key V)
    • Same here: press key V again to close the simulation variables dialog
  • Minimise the user interface (key M)
    • Hint: Before you minimise the user interface you may also want to hide the replay speed group, in the View menu
    • As the "minimal UI" as a "fixed layout" the replay speed group currently cannot be shown/hidden once in this "minimal UI" mode
  • Switch between the various modules with the function keys (F1, F2, F3, ...).
Load a Flight
  • Select the desired flight in the logbook
  • Press the "Load" button (or double-click the row)
  • Note: double-clicking its "Title" column will edit the title
Add Aircraft to Existing Flight ("Formation Flying")
  • Switch to the Formation module (press F2)
  • For each aircraft to be recorded press the "Record" button (press R): the plus (+) sign in the button icon indicates that aircraft will be added to the existing flight
  • That's it!

Note again that the existing aircraft will be replayed during recording, so you know exactly where to fly ;)

  • To start a new flight simply switch back to the Logbook module (press F1) and press the record button

You may optionally load an existing flight in the Logbook module before switching to the Formation module. Once all aircraft have been added start replay, pause and seek in the timeline as usual.

  • Aircraft may be deleted from a flight (but which keeps at least one aircraft)
  • The last recorded aircraft becomes the "user aircraft" (the one being followed with the camera in MSFS)
  • Before adding a new aircraft you may set its position relative to the current "user aircraft"
  • You may switch the "user aircraft" at any time - also during replay!
  • Want to fly for yourself together with the formation? Simply select the "Take control" option in order to take control of the recorded user aircraft. Or choose the "Fly with Formation" to join the formation with the currently loaded user aircraft (so you can also join "single aircraft formations" in an ad-hoc manner).
Recommendations
  • Disable "crash detection" and "engine/stress failure" options in Flight Simulator 2020 for replay

Known Issues

  • While the Sky Dolly 0.14 improves support for 3rd-party aircraft there are still known issues, for example:
    • Spoiler handle position is not properly reported (during recording) and hence cannot properly replayed
    • Some light switches do have "dependencies" between each other, hence single switches cannot easily be toggled alone (or at all)
    • Some simulation variables such as the flaps handle position are updated "in real-time" (e.g. PDMG 737) and hence may temporarily get "out of sync" when seeking quickly back and forth - with repeated seek operations - on the timeline; however during replay those handles should settle again at some point (with the next change event)
  • The stock helicopters from the "40th anniversary update" are not yet fully supported: while position replay works fine, not all flight controls (handles) are fully recorded. Most importantly, both stock helicopters fail to be created when trying to instantiate them as AI aircraft (server exception 22 = "create object failed"), making them "invisible" in formation flights
    • Asobo has confirmed that "helicopter traffic" is not yet supported by MSFS: this implies that helicopter models (as of the "40th anniversary update") cannot be spawned as AI aircraft either
  • Aircraft in formation flights - so-called AI aircraft - tend to "jitter" when flying nearby. This also seems to be related to the speed at which the aircraft fly ("the faster the more jittery"). On the other hand the number of aircraft in the formation does not seem to have an impact (the "jitter" effect already appears with 2 aircraft in the formation).
    • I do have some ideas how to improve on this, but can only tell once implemented whether my idea will be succesful. In either case I will let you know in which release I succeeded or failed.
  • Flights imported from flightaware.com (KML) or flightradar24.com (CSV, KML) often have altitudes not aligned with the MSFS scenery, so aircraft either are below or above the runway when taking off or landing. This is still an open issue and not yet addressed, but it will be addressed together with extended "flight augmentation" in an upcoming release ("still on the roadmap")
  • In general while error handling of mal-formed imort files is in place the actual error messages are extremly "generic": "File could not be imported". More detailed error messages may be added in a future update, but for now:
    • Make sure that you have selected the proper "flavour" (data source) for a given format
    • For instance depending on whether a KML file comes from flightaware.com or flightradar24.com the position data is stored in different "KML elements"
    • The generic KML format tries to find a "track" element, but if no such track element is present then the same generic "File could not be imported" error message will be shown (for now)
    • In general: if no "position data" (latitude, longitude, optionally altitude) could be found the generic error message will be shown (and also if a "parser error" due to a malformed document is encountered, e.g. an expected number is not in the expected format etc.)
Trailer

Changelog récent for 0.16.3

This release fixes the following issue:

- Proper CSV validation of Flight Recorder and Sky Dolly (obsolete) CSV files (regression introduced by Sky Dolly 0.16.2)

It also introduces an initial "crash handler" that handles exceptions that are unexpected and hence unhandled by the application logic itself - also known as "bugs" (programming errors).

The crash handler gathers basic application information and most importantly it tries to detect the location of the exception ("stack trace"), plus the nature of the exception. It also allows the user to copy this information and create a new issue here on github.com (free github account required).

Love it, the only issue that bothers me is the gear on any aircraft just sinking into the ground when touching down. The other payware replay tool does a good job at this but that software sucks so much, and for being payware, its a scam. SkyDolly is much better, however the gear sinking bug or issue is a real pain and does not make replays that much good. Hopefully you can fix this issue.

I hope to see a fix for jittering aircraft in formation flying. Fast jets basically unusable at this point. Other then that, this is a great piece of software, thank you!

Is the H145 not supported? It keeps spawning me with it, so when I record myself and press stop it just keeps me in the helicopter while I press play? Should I see another heli take off?

Thank you for such a wonderful and enjoyable tool.
In formation mode, I think it would be perfect if there was a function to copy my replay aircraft and move the placement (x.y.z) to increase the number of aircraft, and if the MV22 Osprey's tilt rotor could rotate.
Currently, when I need the above two functions, I also use Flightcontrolreplay, but I am very happy that it works with Sky Dolly.

P.S.
I swapped the VTOL aircraft model with another helicopter model. Helicopters could be displayed in formation mode. (rotor does not rotate.) Also, after recording on an airplane, I was able to display H135 by replacing Aircraft.cfg. The rotor of the Flightsim Squadron helicopter Airwolf rotated.I think Airwolf is produced in the Airplane model (category).

Great addon. Would it be possible for SkyDolly to record FBW a32nx throttle and reverse thrust? That would make it perfect for me.

hi, ..
nice tool, flying formation can be fun.
Just a question, I've been trying to save the formation flights alltogether ( can take a lot of time to fly 5-6 planes on the same former path), and it only gives me the former single flight, all the added planes are lost.
I have them only as long as I keep the session alive.
Ty in advance.

Is thre any way to save the whole formation recordings to find them again , I tried with export of course.

Congratulations on this one. I can't imagine why a module like this was not included in the original sim. It adds a new (and missing) dimension to FS 2020. One can now be a passive observer and enjoy the scenery. No fps loss (i7 2070 super 64gb). THANK YOU!

Hi! What a wonderful app - thanks so much!
( For a future release, could you possibly consider to offer a Dark Mode setting option? That would help with those of us with eye issues that really struggle with the contrast change when alt-tabbing between apps when using just one screen). Thanks again!

Hello! Thank you for a very nice recording and formation flying tool! I was wondering if it is already an option or perhaps something that you could add, to get the nameplate of aircraft in formation when I'm getting too far from them. I have several IGC files from a soaring group flight and they're not all flying in tight formation, but I'd still like to see where they are with nameplates, like if I was really flying with them in the same group flight. Possible?

what could be the problem of just aircraft stutters? When I fly and record everything is butter smooth, when I replay if I fly with dronbe everything is butter smooth, checked in multiple airports, the only thing that stutters is the plane every random 10 seconds or so freezing for a half of second, while (again) sim is butter smooth. Is it simconnect? Nothing changed, yesterday I flew same airport and recorded with no problem, next day - this happens, restart and reinstall of skydolly did not work

"In formation mode, I think it would be perfect if there was a function to copy my replay aircraft and move the placement (x.y.z) to increase the number of aircraft," Yes, this is a "cheap way" to fake formation flights I know that other tools do this and even advertise this as "formation flights" - but I wouldn't even dare to implement such a "cheap trick" - why? Because it miserably fails if your "lead aircraft" makes a 180° turn. Just think about it: if you define a constant latitude/longitude offset then what would happen with your "fake formation aircraft" following your lead aircraft? If it was 45° right behind you BEFORE the 180° turn it would be 45° right IN FRONT OF YOU AFTER the 180° turn. Again, if one would simply implement a constant distance offset. And this is exactly what happends in those other tools that advertise it as "formation flights" (as made evident by their own feature videos - ever noticed how those formation flights simply follow a straight line? ;)) So a proper "fake formation" function would make all AI aircraft actually FOLLOW your lead aircraft, by making sure that the RELATIVE distance is always "45° BEHIND the lead aircraft". That requires some (non-trivial) code that implements some (naive) AI piloting functinality, to make it resemble some realistic formation flight (where the relative distance also ever so slighty varies, depending on velocity and angle curvature etc.). This is something that I have thought about (including the possibility to define various formation figures, for N aircraft: so aircraft B follows aircraft A, aircraft C follows B, D follows C etc.).- but this is "further down" on my todo list (and again, not so trivial, especially when it comes to "smooth AI aircraft replay" that I want to solve first. As for the "rotation angle" of the Osprey: I am always looking into supporting more and more "simulation variables" that have a "visual impact" on the replay: improved helicopter variables are currently on my to-do list as well (those variables could improve the replay for the Osprey as well).

1 months ago

Hello, This is a know limitation of Sky Dolly respectively the underlying SimConnect API: the SimConnect API offers to read and write ("modify") a given standard set of so-called "simulation variables". However especially (some) 3rd-party aircraft have their own custom simulation logic, specifically the FlyByWire A320 (and also the Fenix A320, that even comes with a separate application *.exe with its entire custom flight simulation logic). Those custom flight models apply their own "local variables" that aren't accessible (without writing custom code specific to that aircraft) via the SimConnect API: for instance the FBW A320 has its own simulation logic for "hydraulics" (flaps, gears, ..) and engine (throttle, ...). Or simply put: Sky Dolly can only record a pre-determined set of "standard simulation variables" (as visible in the "Simulation Variables" dialog in Sky Dolly, press key "V"). I am not saying that Sky Dolly records all possible simulation variables just yet (I focused on those having the biggest "visual impact", and those that are actually "writeable" via the SimConnect API), but those "local (cstom) variables" are something that simply cannot be supported (without writing custom code in a specific MSFS plugin that would have to go into the "Community" folder of MSFS itself) - something that I cannot dedicate time to (simply for my own time constraints).Even going down that "custom simulation variables support" would be a slippery road, because 3rd-parties could decide to change their own simulation logic at any time, nnd Sky Dolly would have to play "catch up". Does that make sense?

Love the program and have used it for years, THANKYOU !!!!
Recently I have noticed an issue. The audio appears to lagging the video by approximately 1 second. Is anyone else having this problem? I am a content creator and I use sky dolly to record my flights. Then I play the recorded flight to record shots outside of the airplane (such as landing replays) . I noticed my tire squeal was not matching the touch down? Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

2 months ago

"Recently I have noticed an issue. The audio appears to lagging the video by approximately 1 second." Just to clarify: Sky Dolly does not record any data related to any sound effects. So any sound that you hear during replay is the result of MSFS itself (or rather the specific aircraft model) calculating when to replay which sound effect. Yes, Sky Dolly disables any "flight physics" during replay (these would try to "counter-act" against the actual flight path, as "dictated" by the recorded flight in Sky Dolly). This could be the reason for the sound delay. All I can say is that the actual replay logic hasn't changed that much recently. So it could also be because of some recent changes in MSFS itself that those sound effects have a delay now. Or the logic of the specific aircraft. So do you have the delay with all aircraft (specifically also "stock aircraft"), or only with some given 3rd-party aircraft? In any case, there is probably little that I can do "on Sky Dolly side": all that Sky Dolly does is to set the aircraft position (plus control surfaces such as flaps, rudder, ailerons, and of course gears...) for each "simulated frame". Any resulting effects - be it visual FX or audio - is the responsibility of MSFS respectively the aircraft code itself.

Hello, I just suffer the wheels enter the ground everytime I replay my landing. Could you help me?

2 months ago

Hello, I assume that you replay the flight with the exact same aircraft type as the one used during recording. Otherwise the height of the aircraft would not match and the gear would either be above or below the surface. But even then: Sky Dolly disables "physics" during replay (otherwise the simulation would "fight" the aircraft position, as dictated by Sky Dolly during replay). This might also include the "hydraulics" simulation that migh timpact the gears position. I will try to improve some aspects of the recorded data in the future, especially whether the aircraft is "on ground" or not -but whether that will improve the "gears go into the ground" situation we will have to see. P.S. if you rewind the replay to the very beginning Sky Dolly will actually initiate an "aircraft on ground" event. Unfortunately this also causes MSFS to re-initialise all other AI objects (such as aircraft, but also airport vehicles) each time. But this should re-position the gear as well, to be neatly aligned with the surface. This is a workaround, but at least at the very beginning of the replay the gear should be aligned with the surface. Again, I will try to improve this, but I cannot make any guarantees.

Thank you for a free alternative to similar apps. I mainly use SD for crash recovery. Is there an option to, rather than record an entire flight, simply record the last X number of minutes as a sort of rotating/rolling recording? It would then be possible to increase the sampling rate to its highest since the dataset will always remain small.

2 months ago

"Is there an option to, rather than record an entire flight, simply record the last X number of minutes as a sort of rotating/rolling recording? " Not yet. However since quite some time I have an "auto-recording" module - a "black box", so to speak - in mind that would let you define the conditions of when to start an stop the recording, like "engine turned on/off", "ground speed", "x feet above ground" etc. This would automatically record the flight - the entire flight, to be specific - however such "black box recordings" would be marked as such in the Sky Dolly logbook and automatically deleted after N days (where N would be user-defineable). Unless you would "unmark" the flight as "auto-recording", to keep it forever. Now as for the sampling rate: I intend to actually remove this option and sample the aircraft position data (latitute, longitude, altitude) only each second (1 Hz rate). "But why?!" Because this would automatically add some "smoothing filter" (a low pass filter, in other words) to the sampled data. My hope would be to ignore "micro-stutters" (that are currently being recorded). The flight path is still smoothly interpolated with cubic spline interpolation (and I also intend to replace the current Hermite interpolation with another one that has some better properties "across segments" - more on this later), and while there is a certain loss of precision of course (that is your exact take-off point on the runway may be delayed up to 1 second, at least in theory - I think ;)) you would not record any microstutters that might have occured during recording. At least that's my hope and I need to test this first (so the above is only an idea and not yet set in stone). All other data would be recorded at the highest possible rate, especially pitch, bank and heading and all other flight data (flap events, gears etc.). Essentially we sample at the same rate as we get informed by MSFS about the next "simulation frame". Or in other words: sampling higher than MSFS can provide the data also does not help: you would simply record the same values multiple times. Also note that Sky Dolly samples the flight data "in groups" (essentially corresponding to the tabs in the "Simulation Variables" dialog). And only if a value actually changes does it get reported and recorded (stored). This keeps the recording size as small as possible already. For example if the gear is raised and lowered exactly once per flight then this is the only data that is recorded in the flight. Sky Dolly does not record the gears up/down state for every recorded frame (like other software does ;)).

Hello, This is how it *should* work, from the description above: Add Aircraft to Existing Flight ("Formation Flying") - Switch to the Formation module (press F2) - For each aircraft to be recorded press the "Record" button (press R): the plus (+) sign in the button icon indicates that aircraft will be added to the existing flight! Or in other words: when in the "Formation" module the Record button slightly changes its meaning: it records the current user aircraft while replaying the previously recorded aircraft. And most importantly the currently recorded aircraft is added and persisted together with all other, previously recorded aircraft. This should be reflected in the Logbook module (press key F1): the numer of aircraft in the last recorded flight should be > 1. And of course the logbook is updated (persisted, stored on disk) each time you stop the recording. If this does not work for you (and I can't reproduce this myself) then please create a bug issue here (free github account required though): https://github.com/till213/SkyDolly/issues To test this: if you record a new flight (that is, when switching to the Logbook module and press the Record button): does this new flight get properly stored at least? Or is it possibly some "write permission" issue, that is, has your logbook location become "read-only" for some reasons?

Helicopter’s cyclic and pedals shake furiously when play recorded flight in MSFS 2020. How can I stop that from happening ?
Thanks.

Hello, I intend to improve helicopter support in a future release: currently Sky Dolly is not yet recording all possible, helicopter-specific simulation variables. Also note that helicopters implemented with the recent "helicopter model" in MSFS cannot be replayed in formation flights. This is a known issue related to the fact that those helicopters simply cannot be spawned as "AI aircraft" (this is an MSFS restriction, as it simply "is not yet implemented" acording to Asobo).
