There are a lot of issues with the film viewer, but is still a good tool, you just have to learn to live with the programs failures. If you dont have the terrain the film was taken on in your terrain folder it will show just an ocean view. All boats are not in the right place when you view the films that you're in or around. I get odd artifact after jumping around in a film. Terrain tiles will stand on end, or land tiles will be changed out with water tiles. Sometimes to guns firing will get stuck and just keep firing. You use to be able to sort the list box as well, sort by name, range, alt, speed and plane type. The buttons are still there but they dont do anything.

Even with the issues you can pick up a lot of info. Most times just closing and reopening the viewer will clear the issue for awhile.

Certain FX will only run ONCE per session. An explosion will only happen once until the FV is restarted. On rewind gun fire will loop until it reaches the same time rewound from.

Basically once you setup a scene you want, mark time and restart for the actual capture.

Once you get to know it, its still a great tool.

I’m used to the issues. But suddenly have new ones. A plane won’t center in chase mode if you change anything. Snap fixes it.

Are you running this server on your own? If you dont have a static IP, you can use a service like Duck DNS that will give you a more traditional web address and actively scan for changes in your IP so it will automatically update when it changes. That way people can always go to the same address even if the IP is changing. https://www.duckdns.org/

You don't even need to restart the film viewer. Just press the stop button and everything will reset from the beginning.

I only need to restart the film viewer after using full screen mode. The viewer acts funky with the separate window.

I don’t use it full screen, but do use it maximized. Not sure if thats what you’re referring to.
Stop works in certain situations, but not all. Some explosions need restart, at least on my end.
