Yes, both the "new" and the "old" manuals describe it functioning just like in the previous release of VWD.

So far, I've only gotten it to work after the first dynamic simulation run is complete and only on specific frames after I stop the loop by pressing escape.

I hope somebody sees our remarks soon and comments one way or the other. I don't want to double post so I'll wait a bit before bringing it up in the Bug thread.
