It will only work with recent demos, the ones that incorporate a csprogs.dat inside the demo file that has some sort of camera built in already. Note that older version used the old approach using these aliases!

There's a "bug" I'd like to report about the freefly mode. I'm not sure there's a solution for this issue, but here it goes anyway:
During playback, entities/models you haven't actually seen, aren't drawn.
Example: if you're standing on one side of Soylent space, but you freefly away to the other side, you can't see anything happening. Entites only apear once you "see them" from your actual position.

thats not a bug, it's the anti-radar cheat protection called "culling" of entites.

Just like I thought. But this makes the freefly mode useless, as you can't see what others have done meanwhile.

well thats the downside of the anti-wallhack.. i'm not sure about server side demos. but i think those also do not contain that stuff either. I guess one way would be to make it possible for server side demos to contain everything. but that would require quite some changes so thats nothing for the next release.

One thing you CAN do is to run your server with this stuff disabled.
sv_cullentities_trace 0
sv_cullentities_pvs 0
But then anyone can use a wallhack.

1. Open Notepad
2. Paste: ÿþMSMSMS
3. Save
4. Open the file in Notepad again
You can vary the number of "MS", so you can clearly see it's MS which is causing it.

Not much, as the culling is still performed on the client.
Would however cost lots of extra bandwidth, and server CPU load.

Those two options will basically disable the antiwallhack, so that should only be done if you can trust the people playing 
and as divVerent mentioned only if you server and the network and handle the extra load.

But isn't is actually using more CPU load on the server when doing culling? I mean, I totally agree to the bandwidth usage raising, but I always though that it would save CPU on the server when disabling culling.
