Tacview, the ACMI for DCS World – Official Thread

I have the latest update for Tacview on the "Burning Skies" - Alpha server and the latest DCSW Alpha patch and the latest Nvidia driver.

My ACMI files should be dropping to C: Program Files (x86)\Tacview\Recordings folder.

Tacview was working on June 7, 2017 and clickable as an Open file (upper left hand icon) file ; not working currently on "Burning Skies" - Alpha.

Suggestions from you guys as to what I may be doing wrong?

Did not purchase a key, yet.

Still is working OK on 1.5.6 Stable version on June 30, 2017, the latest patch, the "Steel Balls" WWII server.

I was thinking about all the naval aircraft that are coming up and I thought, "it would be really handy if Tacview had some tools for evaluating carrier traps, and maybe landings in general." Even just an

@TeeJayD

It looks like the old version of Tacview which was previously installed on your computer was not properly uninstalled. Just REMOVE the following line from your export.lua and this should fix your problem:

local Tacviewlfs=require('lfs');dofile(Tacviewlfs.writed ir()..'Scripts/TacviewExportDCS.lua')

@DieHard

Because C:\Program Files (x86)\Tacview\Recordings is a protected folder, it may not be possible for Tacview exporter to record your flight data, unless you launch DCS World main executable with full administrator program. You may want to redirect your data to a more appropriate folder like %My Documents%\Tacview

I was able to record flight data when joining the burning skies server Normandy with DCS World 2.1.1.6837.

Can you share your dcs.log file? It will probably contain the answer to your problem.

@ScAvenger001

This is a clever idea! I am not sure yet how to handle an LSO camera. But I will add the support for the carriers ILS glide when I will rewrite the objects database in the coming months.

Hi,

For the DCS 2.1.1 Alpha I changed the path as you suggested to My Documents and in DCS Options / Special / Tacview ; I set Compression Level to "not compressed" .

My previous path worked OK in 1.5.6 and the earlier Alpha (Message #526 above) but not in the present 2.1.1 Alpha.

Works now.

Thanks

Tacview Auto Recording

Hi guys!

I was wondering how can I turn off the auto recording of the tacview. I dont want every flight to be recorded. Does anyone know how to do this?

Thanks a lot.

Tacview 1.6.2 beta 2 is now available:

http://tacview.net/download/beta/

You should now be able to record a whole online flight when playing the corresponding track file in DCS World. Assuming the playback last longer than 10 minutes. The next iteration will be an improved anti-cheat system which - hopefully - will remove the need to record the data using track file playback.

In DCS' options there's a Tacview section in the Special tab.

Thanks! I didnt know there was going to be an option pop up after installing tacview.

Appreciate it.

How can I disable this 10 minutes delay. Because I played my track from MP and it got delay 10 minutes also. Thanks

Same options I was suggested

@Oceandar

The 10 minutes delay will be disregarded if you record your flight with Tacview 1.6.2 beta 2 exporter while playing back your track file in DCS World.

All the problems related to the anti-cheat delay should be fixed in a coming update (maybe the 1.6.3)

Last chance to get Tacview at 40% off, or up to 70% off on group orders!

Hi,

I can not record the flights .. or rather, the registration starts but does not write anything.

do you have other entries in Export.lua? if yes, make sure tacview entrie is the first one. fixed the same problem for me

Which server are you trying to join? Which version of DCS World are you using?

Also, can you share me the following files, they will help me to narrow down the bug:

\Saved Games\DCS\Logs\dcs.log

\Saved Games\DCS\Logs\DCS.xxxxx.crash

This update brings numerous fixes, plus the following improvements:

The instructors are going to like the upgraded remote controls: You can now assign custom keyboard and joystick controls to remotely controls and assist the aircraft of your trainees flying in DCS World, FSX, Prepar3D and X-Plane. Remote controls can also be used to trigger special features (flags) in your DCS World mission.

The DCS World exporter has been improved to fully record and playback network flights when playing back the corresponding track files in DCS World. The next update will bring an improved anti-cheat system which will enable you to playback any network flight as long as you wait enough time before reviewing it in Tacview.

New command line options have been introduced so administrators can silently and remotely install and update Tacview using the command line.

FEATURES & CHANGES

• Added support for custom and animated explosions and smoke radius

• Added support for AGL altitude advanced telemetry data

• Remote controls will now automatically attempt to re-establish the connection with the host sim

• Remote controls are now displaying big icons easier to use with touch screens

• It is now possible to use keyboard and joystick inputs to remote control simulators

• Added remote control command to toggle wing tip smoke

• Eject and respawn now requires a double click in the remote controls

• Added /ConnectRealTimeTelemetry command line option to auto connect real-time telemetry at startup

• Added /ConnectRemoteControl[:*] command line option to auto connect specified remote control at startup

• Added /ConfigSet command line option to separately store user preferences for each specific instance of Tacview

• Real-time telemetry now keeps the current camera mode when connecting to a new session

• Integrated BMS Balkans 4.33.3.5 terrain and database

• Integrated BMS Ikaros 4.1.0 terrain and database

• Acmi files saved from Tacview are now as compact as they are with the latest universal exporter

• Remote controls are now distinctively colored depending on the simulator host name

• It is now possible to trigger the flags 1001 to 1004 in DCS World with Tacview remote control

• Added /ProductKey:"xxx" command line option to register Tacview from the installer

• Added /InstallFolder:"xxx" command line option for the installer

• Added /Quiet command line option for the installer

FIXES

• Network flights recorded using DCS World track player can now be reviewed up to the end depending on the playback duration

• DCS World exporter logic has been rewritten to fix rare remote control and real-time telemetry issues

• Fixed several connection bugs concerning the remote control and real-time telemetry in Tacview

• It was not possible to pause X-Plane with the remote control

• Screen-saver will not be active anymore while watching real-time telemetry

• Cockpit camera keyboard controls were inverted

• Pitch value was inverted in the charts

... The next update will bring an improved anti-cheat system which will enable you to playback any network flight as long as you wait enough time before reviewing it in Tacview.

This sounds great. Are you then recording live and postponing just the view?

hey vyrtuoz,

I got two questions

1- can you port 476th range objects into tacview? specifically the bombing object bullseye?

2- what parameters from tacview do I need to create Z sleds or weapon profiles? also for unguided weapons.

thanks

Very Nice Work Vyrtuoz!

Assuming the server authorized data export: The whole flight will be recorded, regardless of the playback delay (which is typically 10 minutes by default). Only the review will be postponed based on the playback delay.

@WildBillKelsoe

In all honesty, porting statics objects to Tacview is currently laborious and takes a lot of time I prefer to invest in new features and more accurate telemetry.

For instance, I will soon create a static object editor and a new file format which should make this operation a quick and smooth process. So, you will be able to do it yourself in just a “few clicks” in a coming update...

The next update will bring an improved anti-cheat system which will enable you to playback any network flight as long as you wait enough time before reviewing it in Tacview.

+1!

So frustrating to not be able to see what got you right now!
