Tacview, the ACMI for DCS World – Official Thread

That means that I’ve done my best to export all advanced telemetry available for the corresponding aircraft (like gears, throttle…). Unfortunately, so far, I was not able to find a satisfactory 3D model for the Hawk. I’m still searching... So if someone has a clean mesh to share, to not hesitate to contact me!

 

Version 1.3.4 have

 

"Added support for the Hawk T.1A (DCS World)".

 

What type of support is this? I still see the Hawk as a F-5 in Tacview

Tacview Weapons Use in Flight Log

 

Hi, I'm a novice Tacview user, running version 1.3.4 64Bit Home Edition.

In DCS World (1.2.16 43180) I use a variety of fighters and FC3. Among other things I want to use Tacview to evaluate my gunners efficiency (how many of the rounds I fire actually hit target).

It seems to me that the numbers displayed in the Flight Log are not realistic. To document my findings I have created a little test case firing at an AN-26 from my FW-190D.

The debriefing in DCS shows that I hit the target with a mix of 13mm and 20 mm rounds.

The Tacview flight log indicates that I fire 60 rouinds of MG_20 20x82_HEI_T (and nothing else), and that I hit with 31 rounds of MG_13x64_APT and nothing else.

I opened the ACMI file in Wordpad and that also indicates that I'm using a variety of ammo types both 13 and 20mm. Unfortunately I cannot figure out which of the lines indicate a hit. From the data I would conclude that the issue is on the Tacview side.

I include 3 files:

1. DCS Track file

2. ACMI file (had to remove the .acmi extension to upload)

3. Excel file with the data from the ACMI file, all rows not showing weapons use are hidden by a little macro.

Would appreciate input as to whether this is a known bug or indicates something wrong in my installation.

Thanks

Thank you very much for the detailed feedback LeCuvier!

 

Your installation of Tacview is working fine. This problem is a known limitation of the current event log.

 

In order to reduce "spam", I have programmed a long time ago, a little function which merge ammo of the same kind in the event log. While drastically reducing the number of similar events, this can – in cases like the one you are describing – produce a less accurate log than expected.

 

A new event log, currently developed for Tacview 2.0, will fix this kind issue.

Hi Vyrtuoz,

 

Great software. A few of us just bought the pro version and are wondering how we get the Online Debriefing tool to work? How do we host a session and how do pilots connect to it? When we click the Paper and Pen icon at the top of the screen nothing happens.

The Online Debriefing is currently in development. If you try the latest beta version you can see the dialog box to setup or join a connection.

 

It should start working in Tacview 1.4 beta 4 in about two weeks.

Curious how to setup Tacview to record the new open beta 1.5 flights? It automatically records my flights in 1.2.16 but when I went to open a flight on the 1.5 beta I can't find them. Do I need to point Tacview somewhere> Thanks, Jason

Okay so since I have the licensed version, and just upgraded to the new beta 3 it should start recording DCS 1.5?

Using Tacview 1.3.4 & 1.4 with DCS World 1.5

 

DCS World open betas are supported since Tacview 1.3.1.

 

You should not have any problem recording and reviewing your DCS World open beta 1.5 flights using Tacview 1.3.4 or 1.4.

 

If you are running the open beta using Steam, you should not have anything to do because the install and configuration folders are exactly the same as the release version. In the worst case, just make sure that the option to record DCS World flights is enabled in Tacview.

 

If you are running the open beta from ED website, you may have to first disable, then re-enable the recording of DCS World flight in Tacview. If you are running the open beta in a custom configuration folder (a rare case) you will have to proceed to a manual installation as described on my website.

 

Please have a look at Q14 & Q15: http://tacview.strasoftware.com/documentation/dcs/

Hello!

 

I'm bought the home edition of tacview and have some question, can't find it in a quick search:

- Can I change the position after decimal point, e.g. ASL, 1234,5 ft to 1234 ft? >nobody need this accuracy<

- Can I edit the telemetry 1 or 2 data, e.g. delete (GS, G) opinions I don't want to see?

Thanks for the feedback!

 

Unfortunately you cannot change yet what is displayed in the telemetry windows. These windows are going to be replaced by fully customizable ones in Tacview 1.6/2.0. (1.4 is going to be released in a few weeks for reference).

Feature request:

 

Could you add equivalent speed to the data displays. It's almost the same as IAS/CAS but doesn't have measurement errors like in CAS or IAS. This could be calculated afterwards to provide "IAS" speed for other planes besides the host player.

Tacview 1.4 and its long awaited online debriefing is available!

 

Tacview 1.4 and its long awaited online debriefing is available!

 

After a long period of debugging and tweaking, it is time to release Tacview 1.4 so you can now enjoy the promised online debriefing feature.

 

Now registered users can connect all together to enjoy a debriefing provided by their instructor. Time, point-of-view, altitude restrictions and other settings will be in sync on all computers. The strategic view and charts will be visible for everyone during the debriefing. Everyone can SHIFT+CLICK an object in the 3D view to highlight a specific action. And don’t forget to press ALT+ENTER to enter fullscreen mode to fully enjoy the debriefing while sipping your favorite drink ;)

 

Please note that a professional license is required to host a session and at least a home license is required to join a session. Obviously, all these features are available during the trial period.

 

In the following updates, the host will also be able to give control to any client with a Professional license and clients may be able to temporarily keep control of their own point of view.

 

Now I can focus on the other long awaited feature: The real-time flight analysis which will be available to most flight simulators and real-life devices like DCS World, FSX and X-Plane just to name a few.

 

Enjoy!
