chromium Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 same here with DAWS mod. No special menù. Author of DSMC, mod to enable scenario persistency and save updated miz file Stable version & site: https://dsmcfordcs.wordpress.com/ Openbeta: https://github.com/Chromium18/DSMC The thing is, helicopters are different from planes. An airplane by it's nature wants to fly, and if not interfered with too strongly by unusual events or by a deliberately incompetent pilot, it will fly. A helicopter does not want to fly. It is maintained in the air by a variety of forces in opposition to each other, and if there is any disturbance in this delicate balance the helicopter stops flying; immediately and disastrously.

Bestandskraft Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 In DCS Tacview replays, in all previous versions including the current one, telemetry produces invalid TAS values during the first second of a bomb's lifetime (see attached screenshot). Aside from the "jump" in the TAS value at second 1, a comparison of the actual game in slow-motion and the Tacview replay shows that a bomb dropped in the game comes into existence at precisely the same TAS as the launching aircraft, while in Tacview, the initially displayed TAS of the bomb is significantly lower than the aircraft's TAS. Both problems may be related. Vyrtuoz, is there anything you can do about it or is this an issue with DCS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vyrtuoz Posted December 11, 2017 Author Share Posted December 11, 2017 Very interesting. This is the first time I notice that. Can you share me the corresponding acmi file?

Vyrtuoz Posted December 11, 2017 Author Share Posted December 11, 2017 (edited) Fix for DCS World 2.2.0 and 1.5.8 *THE FOLLOWING IS NOW OBSOLETE* Please, simply update your Tacview installation to 1.7.0+ Fix for DCS World 1.5.8 and 2.2.0 DCS World 1.5.8 and 2.2.0 have changed the way some LUA addons are working. This is why telemetry export does not work well with these versions. Here is how to fix the issue while waiting for Tacview 1.7.0: Go in the \Saved Games\DCS.*\Scripts\ folder which correspond to your edition of DCS World Create a subfolder \Saved Games\DCS.*\Scripts\Hooks\ Move \Saved Games\DCS.*\Scripts\TacviewGameGUI.lua in \Saved Games\DCS.*\Scripts\Hooks\ This fix has been integrated in Tacview 1.7.0 About Tacview options menu in DCS ED team is investigating the issue of Tacview special menu which is not displayed in DCS World. Meanwhile, you can manually open the file \Saved Games\DCS.*\Config\options.lua and edit the Tacview section which should look like the following. If you do not see this section, you may have to copy paste it manually into the options.lua file. ["Tacview"] = { ["bookmarkShortcut"] = 0, ["dataRecordingEnabled"] = true, ["debugModeEnabled"] = true, ["playbackDelay"] = 0, ["profilingPeriod"] = 60, ["recordClientsSessionsEnabled"] = true, ["tacviewBookmarkShortcut"] = 0, ["tacviewCompressionLevel"] = 1, ["tacviewDataRecordingEnabled"] = true, ["tacviewDebugModeEnabled"] = false, ["tacviewPlaybackDelay"] = 600, ["tacviewProfilingPeriod"] = 600, ["tacviewRealTimeTelemetryPort"] = "42674", ["tacviewRecordClientsSessionsEnabled"] = false, ["tacviewRemoteControlPort"] = "42675", }, Edited February 6, 2018 by Vyrtuoz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I have to tell you that your instructions to solve momentarily the DCS menu, in my case, doesn't work. No problems anyway, the important think is to record the acmi files.

uscstaylor Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Thanks for the fix, just an FYI. I installed this last week and its my 1st install and the download didn't install that code into my lau file. So I manually did it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vyrtuoz Posted December 13, 2017 Author Share Posted December 13, 2017 Follow-up: It seems that ED has changed the way their menus work. So, I have updated the special option menu. The fix will be in the next beta of Tacview 1.7.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xxx Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 (edited) I have lost the ability to record with TACVIEW, with DCS 2.2.

Vyrtuoz Posted December 18, 2017 Author Share Posted December 18, 2017 Zarma, have you tried after rebooting your system? Make sure you do not have any resident programs like teamspeak, which is trying to inject 3D data in Tacview window. Programs like that tend to not behave well with old school OpenGL renderer (fraps work fine though). If this still does not work, can you remember what hardware or software you may have installed on your system since the last time Tacview worked fine?

TS is installed but not really using it, mostly on discord. Released wasnt working so I installed beta 2 which did work. Days later I tried to start it but had the same problem so I installed beta 4, but still no luck.
