Tacview 1.6 real-time telemetry is now available!

Tacview 1.6.0 is now available to everyone!

 

http://tacview.net/download

 

Delivered, as promised, before the F/A-18, here is: the real-time telemetry! :music_whistling:

 

The long awaited real-time telemetry is here! Use it with DCS World, FSX, Prepar3D, or X-Plane to record and review in real-time a flight in progress. An first draft of the instructor remote control is also available. This tool enables you to control up to four simulators, to assist trainee pilots and reduce their workload.

 

To prevent cheating, real-time telemetry may be disabled during network sessions depending on the host preferences.

 

These two new features go naturally well together: Use the real-time telemetry to watch in real time your trainee from outside and inside the cockpit. Help him/her using the remote control to pause its flight simulator and actuate some of its aircraft controls. In the next update, you will be able to directly bind joystick and keyboard to remote control commands.

 

All Tacview network features are independent and can be combined the way you want. For example, you can combine the real-time telemetry and the online-debriefing to review, with your fellow squadrons leaders, in real-time, a network battle in progress like a red-flag training.

 

In addition, many updates and fixes are introduced in this version to better enjoy flight review for all your favorite simulators.

 

While several surprises are on their way for this year, the next major step will be Tacview 2.0. This new version will offer a fully revamped UI, and a will include most of the improvements which have been requested over the years.

 

Meanwhile several updates are still planned for Tacview 1.6 and maybe 1.7, to offer a smooth transition while waiting for 2.0. For example, you will soon get an integrated static objects editor to easily add navaids to a battlefield and will be able to display analog cockpit instruments to get more intuitive and faster reading while analysing the quality of a flight.

Tacview continues to be a key part of serious learning and review during multiplayer and singleplay because you continue to add valuable features like these. Thank you.

Hey Vyrtuoz, glad to see real-time telemetry is out! It was working great for me a couple months back but now it's causing DCS to hang after about a minute or two of flight. I tried both the latest 1.6.1 release and 1.6.2 beta to no avail. Troubleshooting ideas?

 

First I get long (10-20 second) stutters and then eventually the whole app freezes and hangs. Sometimes TacView will crash too.

An update, the errors stop occurring if I disable my HTC Vive and use TrackIR instead. So it might have something to do with the fact that both TacView and DCS are rendering 3D views.

It is true that running DCS World and Tacview at the same time can use a lot of VRAM. However, because they are fully independent 3D wise, this should not be a problem. All I can suggest is to make sure that your 3D drivers are fully up to date.
