Crunchy Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 I just downloaded Tacview, but I don't have a clue how to use it. I looked on Youtube thinking there would be a tutorial on how to use it, but I was surprised to find that nobody has done a tutorial. Can someone help me out on how to use this program or give me a link to a tutorial? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cykyrios Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Just open Tacview, click on the recording icon in the top toolbar, check "Record DCS World flights". That's it! A DCS logo icon should appear in the bottom-right corner (along with a popup), telling you DCS flights will be recorded. From that point, you can close Tacview entirely, your flights will be automatically recorded (they should be saved in your documents\Tacview by default). Just open the .txt.acmi files in Tacview, and you can save them to the .acmi format to save space (a 2 hour mission with only a couple of aircraft can generate over 25 MB of data, but the acmi format brings that down to about 5 MB). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

feefifofum Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 .ACMI files should automatically be associated with and opened in TacView if you double click on them. If recording is enabled, .ACMI files will be saved in users/username/documents/tacview by default. You can adjust the directory in Tacview if desired.

Weegie Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 Coolio. Is there a way to watch previously recorded tracks in Tacview? If recording is enabled and you play the track in DCS then TACVIEW will make a recording of it to view in TACVIEW Hope that helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
