How to play back flights from SD Card?

I have downloaded the TLOG and other files from the SD card in my flight controller. When I click LOAD in mission planner I see the slider move like it is playing back, but the map is not updated, neither are the flight instruments or anything else.

Is there something I am missing here ? I just want to play back flights that are recorded on the SD card.

  • Dataflash logs are recorded on the autopilot’s SD card, so they must be downloaded from the autopilot after a flight
  • Telemetry logs (also known as “tlogs”) are recorded by the ground station (i.e. Mission Planner) on the local PC when the autopilot is connected via a telemetry link

in MissionPlanner, playback is possible for telemetry logs

UAV Log Viewer (ardupilot.org) allows a compareable playback-type of feature for SD logs too

see the log documentation for further reference

Thanks Basti, am reading this over now…
