How to use dedicated server(s) with Tacview real-time telemetry

Hi everyone,

 

DCS World dedicated server can be used with Tacview real-time telemetry, even if you have multiple instances running on the same computer.

 

First, ensure Tacview has been installed on each server. Copy-paste the contents of

C:\Program Files (x86)\Tacview\DCS\

to

%USERPROFILE%\Saved Games\YOUR_SERVER_NAME\

for each server.

 

Or, make sure your server name starts with DCS, for example you could call your server DCS.server1. Then re-run the Tacview installer and Tacview will install itself there. In a future release we will improve this so Tacview will automatically install in the dedicated servers' custom folders.

 

Secondly, access the

%USERPROFILE%\Saved Games\YOUR_SERVER_NAME\Config\options.lua 

file for each server and add this under plugins if its not there. ["tacviewPlaybackDelay"] = 0 indicates real-time telemetry.

 

["plugins"] = {
	
	["Tacview"] = {
		["tacviewBookmarkShortcut"] = 0,
		["tacviewClientTelemetryPassword"] = "",
		["tacviewCompressionLevel"] = 0,
		["tacviewDataRecordingEnabled"] = true,
		["tacviewDebugModeEnabled"] = true,
		["tacviewHostTelemetryPassword"] = "",
		[b]["tacviewPlaybackDelay"] = 0,[/b]
		["tacviewProfilingPeriod"] = 600,
		["tacviewRealTimeTelemetryPort"] = "42674",
		["tacviewRecordClientsSessionsEnabled"] = false,
		["tacviewRemoteControlPassword"] = "",
		["tacviewRemoteControlPort"] = "42675",
		["tacviewTerrainExport"] = 0,
	},
},

 

If you need help just let me know and please attach your dcs.log file for each of your servers.

Thanks for sharing your log. I noticed this line:

2020-02-28  00:04:02.750 ALERT   EDCORE: Can't execute Lua file C:\Users\mjzd\Saved  Games\DCS.openbeta_server\Scripts\Export.lua - can't open  'C:\Users\mjzd\Saved  Games\DCS.openbeta_server\Scripts\DCS-SimpleRadioStandalone.lua'

Can you please delete this file: C:\Users\mjzd\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta_server\Scripts\Export.lua and reinstall Tacview?
