    I love AMS...probably run it more than any other sim.
    There is one 'gripe' I have with the replay interface.
    Despite it having all the other controls (PLAY, FF, REW, PAUSE, etc...), It does not have a point of reference indicator for replays in full screen mode.
    You effectively do not have any way of telling where in a replay you are, unless you minimize the screen.
    That's not great for capturing a particular segment of a replay.

    Guys... we really need this feature.
    It makes absolutely no sense having the other controls without a point of reference indicator of some sort.

    And a way to jump to a specific point in a long replay rather than have to FF to it. :(
    Like in RF2 where you can enter a timestamp and go straight to that point. Essential for Stewarding reported race incidents.

    I was expecting this from ISI 10 years ago in an rFactor 1 update, lol. A simple bar with minutes, seconds, etc. I think most racing games have had this for many years as it's a pretty basic and logical feature for replay modes.

    I personally like the lap markings in iRacing replays, where you can choose any lap you did in a session and the replays starts exactly at the beggining of that lap.

    As it stands right now, it is virtually impossible to know where you are in a replay video... unless you minimize the replay screen.
    That is the only way to see the point of reference marker.
    It's not ideal when trying to capture replays, without cutting and splicing video files.
    Guys....please address this issue.
