Scrub through a flight log.

Opening a .tlog in Groundpost replays the flight through the same decoder as a live link, so every tab shows what the operator saw. Until now that playback ran start to finish on its own. The map now carries a timeline underneath it: play and pause, pick 1x, 4x or 10x, and drag the playhead to the moment you actually care about.

Groundpost map tab replaying a tlog: timeline strip under the map with PAUSE, 1x/4x/10x speed buttons, elapsed and total time, recording UTC clock, and a playhead

The readout shows elapsed and total time plus the recording's own UTC clock, so a timestamp from a radio log or a witness report maps straight onto the bar. Hovering the bar previews the time under the cursor; a click or a drag-and-release jumps there. The flight track is cleared on every jump so the trail you see is the one flown from that point on, not a straight line drawn across the gap.

A paused or finished replay stays silent on purpose, and the link banner knows it: no LINK LOST alarm while you study a frozen moment. When the recording reaches the end, PLAY starts it over.

For scripted use there is a --tlog <path> launch flag that opens a log straight into playback.
