G'day Vyrtuoz,

 

Brilliant work with this app! I never get tired of watching the generated replays.

 

As an Inta Humar combatant I have tried to update the SAM launcher models without success after following the instructions. (At this stage I cannot even get a box to show.) Would it be possible to post a working obj model to test porting it to other models in tacview as a test/structure reference? (1.3.3 64bit pro)

I am running Helios and a custom export file used for Helios. I know that you are to add a separate line in the export file for tacview and Helios to work together. What is it?

thanks

Done!

 

You can now download a sample of a f-5.obj 3D mesh from the official documentation:

http://tacview.strasoftware.com/documentation/3dobjects/en/

 

I've tested it to replace a SA-15 and this sample is working well.

I never tried Helios, so I don’t know anything about a special line you would have to add.

 

My guess is as long as it does not generate any errors; both programs should work well together without any special action. Just try to turn off then on the export from Tacview so the export line is properly reset.

 

If this does not work, let me know and share me your export.lua script so I can see how it looks like.

I'm running helios and TacView together (plus Aries) with no issues at all.

 

Here is my export code

Done!

 

You can now download a sample of a f-5.obj 3D mesh from the official documentation:

http://tacview.strasoftware.com/documentation/3dobjects/en/

 

I've tested it to replace a SA-15 and this sample is working well.

 

Thank you for the rapid response! Having a working model to use really helps.

 

After some trial and error I finally got an SA-15 tunga model into the replays! It all started working right after I renamed the mesh directory from "meshes" to "Meshes"! :doh:

 

Time to start pumping out some SAM models.

 

Thanks again!

Maybe it was asked before, but I didn't see it...

 

Is it possible to record the radar "cone" so you can see in tacview track were the radar of selected unit "looks" and what it "sees"?

This information is not yet available unfortunately. However, thanks to the excellent research work made by Vicx I hope to be able to add radar cones in Tacview 2.0 exporter.

 

Look at the prototyping screenshots in the whole thread here: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=135802

Conflict of Export.lua requirements

 

I am currently using an IPad app 'A-10C CDU which uses an Export.lua in the scripts directory to run. Now I note that Tacview uses an Export.lua to export the flight logs. Since the Tacview lua is a 'one-liner' is there a way to incorporate this in the new Export.lua or any other solution so that both can run?

As long as the A-10C CDU does not trigger any lua error in DCS World, Tacview should work fine with it. There is no special operation to do, just let Tacview automatically adding its export line at the end of export.lua and everything should work as expected.

 

If this does not work, please refer to Tacview documentation to see how to fix possible errors and how to manually install Tacview scripts:

As you can see in one of my screenshots, I’m currently considering making Tacview exporter a DCS “module”. However, because it is also working with other flight simulators, the “player” part of Tacview will remains an independent application. That said; I will make it available on Steam to make the life of everyone interested easier.

 

That would be awesome! OT but have you considered making tacview a 'module' you can purchase in the DCS GUI/Splash screen?

Tacview 1.3.4 is available!

 

Tacview 1.3.4 is available!

 

I was quite busy during the past months, so this version is only a step towards Tacview 2.0. Nevertheless, several of your suggestions have been implemented and you can also enjoy improved ergonomics, especially during network sessions analysis.

 

The next step is the v1.4 with the first version of the famous online debriefing and native support for X-Plane.

 

Don’t worry, Tacview 2.0 is still on its way and planned to be released before the F/A-18 lol ;)

Unless you have customized your install, both versions are using the same files. So Tacview should already be able to record your flight right away.

 

Please have a look at the documentation where I have listed all known installation issues (including the dcs_variant.txt case):

 

http://tacview.strasoftware.com/documentation/dcs/

 

I had tacview working like a charm with my Steam DCS. Then I intalled the version directly from Eagle, unfortunately it is not detecting it when i fly this version. how can I make tacview to point to this version rather than steam?

Oops, sorry for this little bug. I forgot to remove a default altitude restriction I was using to debug my code: Labels are blinking when aircraft are violating restrictions.

 

Just right-click on AGL or ASL (don’t remember which one) in the telemetry window and set to 0 the current minimum altitude restriction. This will stop this alert…

 

Great. The player labels is blinking, at least from online recordings. Is it possible to switch the blinking off?

Sounds great!

And reading those I think: The same feature as the AGL/ASL warning would be awesome for distance between aircraft as well! That way you could see in the ACMI when someone was not flying well in the formation (like in "almost crashed into lead"). That would be great for training.

EDIT: And maybe also an option for automatic pause when the warning appears.
