LEDGER STUDIO, PLAIN ENGLISH
Flight recording is the action you flew. New recordings include the exact original mix; older Ledger imports rebuild sound from their recorded flight and weapon events.
View is where you watch from. Cockpit, chase, enemy follow and freecam do not change the flight.
Play previews the selected flight. Scrub and frame-step never damage the original sortie.
Camera move is optional. Use it only when you want to hand-fly a freecam shot.
Shot edit joins recorded camera moves. You can also export a whole flight directly from any fixed view.
HUD and B&W are independent switches. Pick any view, then turn either one on or off.
