GTFreeFlyer Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 New issue: I never had this before. When using live-view, I can only see the AI planes flying around. When a client connects to the server their aircraft does not show up in Tacview. No changes to the server settings (export is allowed, etc.). What happened and how do I fix it? The only difference is that it worked during the free trial period, then I let it expire, and now I have purchased an Advanced license and entered it in.

Hammer1-1 Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 If you are getting an error message like "Authorization failed: The following DLC's are not authorized and will be disabled: Tacview", this error message would be generated if Tacview files had been manually installed into the DCS World folder. All non-official modules of DCS should be installed into Saved Games folder only. Could this be the case for you? The Tacview installer should install all files in Saved Games, alternatively you can copy the contents of C:\Program Files (x86)\Tacview\DCS\ in your %USERPROFILE%\Saved Games\DCS\ folder. Im not a power user when it comes to Tacview; I just click install and go from there. Tacview gets installed in its default location C:\Program Files (x86)\Tacview.

BuzyBee Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 What is the difference in settings between Telemetry password and client password when configuring a server? We have gotten rid of Client Password because it was too confusing. Now there is only Telemetry Password. If the host enters a Telemetry Password then the client will need the password in order to use real-time telemetry while flying online.

BuzyBee Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 Is there a way to request that TACview updater have a silent (unattend, no user interaction) installer for people running dedicated servers? Tacview doesn't push updates (unless you are using it through Steam) but you can run the installer silently in the background using the command line option /Quiet if that helps at all.

Tacview gets installed in its default location C:\Program Files (x86)\Tacview. Can you try repairing DCS World (run Repair DCS World)? This should get rid of any Tacview files which do not belong in the DCS World folder. Indicate that YES you wish to clean up extra files in game install directory after repair and indicate that you wish to DELETE any extra files found.

DudFuse Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 I'm having a problem with Tacview and can't find anyone else reporting it in this thread or elsewhere. I've somehow managed to hide/minimise/undock my Playback Control panel and can't get it back whatever I try. It's ticked as active in the options and there's no tab for it visible bottom/left/right. Have looked everywhere and it doesn't seem to be open and undocked either. Have even tried uninstalling, deleting all the config files I could find and then reinstalling Tacview, and the problem persists. Any advice?

If Analysis -> Playback Control Bar is selected and you can't find the playback control bar anywhere, try deleting the windows settings in the Registry Editor here: Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Raia Software Inc.\Tacview (beta)\Local\Windows [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTFreeFlyer Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 Having problems getting my custom .obj to appear. I've followed the instructions on the website, placing it in the correct folder, and also creating the .xml in the proper folder. I have renamed "F-5" from the example to my custom name. All else remains the same. I have exported telemetry from my custom app and I can see the plane flying around, but it displays as the default "paper airplane looking thing". I can't get my .obj to display. It is 35MB, could that be why? Are the instructions on the website up-to-date? Thanks!

Thanks! 35MB is too big unfortunately - a custom .obj should ideally be about 10,000 faces, or just a few hundred KB max. You can try using Blender or a similar software to reduce the size.

Glow Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 (...) I can map a button to LAlt-B which brings up the mission briefing, but for some reason, mapping it to RAlt-B doesn't invoke the Tacview bookmark. It is just ignored. (...) Issue: Not working Bookmark RAlt+B Keyboard layout for non US keyboards see RALT as RALT + LCTRL. Not a bug, it's Windows feature :) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AltGr_key Way around: You have to switch to ENG US keyboard layout, before start using RALT shortcuts (even those mapped to your controller via TARGET script).

Glow Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 If you install other apps like a SRS for example, it can overwrite Tacview code in Export.lua. The best way is to make Export.lua manualy by putting there all code lines you need. I doing this by preparing a pack for OvGME and injecting Tacview in to DCS from OvGME after every DCS update. Same with other apps like SRS and all mods. After you install Tackview in your system, you need to have those folders in Saved Games folder: [Mods] | [tech] | | [Tacview] - here is the Tacview for DCS [scripts] - Export.lua | [Hooks] My Export.lua for Tacview and SRS looks like this: -- DCS-SRS pcall(function() local dcsSr=require('lfs');dofile(dcsSr.writedir()..[[Mods\Tech\DCS-SRS\Scripts\DCS-SimpleRadioStandalone.lua]]); end,nil); -- TacView local Tacviewlfs=require('lfs');dofile(Tacviewlfs.writedir()..'Scripts/TacviewGameExport.lua') Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuzyBee Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 Is it possible to have DCS mark flags and mark tires visible as objects in Tacview? Mark Flag Red Mark Flag White Mark Tyre Black Mark Tyre White Mark Tyre with Red Flag Mark Tyre with White Flag These objects are not currently appearing in .acmi files at all so they are probably not being exported by DCS World. But we will double check the exporter to see if Tacview is filtering them out inappropriately. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunSlingerAUS Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Can you please tell me if my export.lua contents are correct - I just pasted this into it: -- TacView local Tacviewlfs=require('lfs');dofile(Tacviewlfs.writedir()..'Scripts/TacviewGameExport.lua') I haven't tried it yet, but before I did so, there was no mention of tacview in my export.lua.

Gianky Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 Hello there! I have updated Tacview from 1.8.0 to last version (I downloaded the new installer and ran it, I guess it overwrote the files already installed), and after flying a mission in DCS, there was no track recorded. The option to record is thicked in the Special submenu of the Option Menu in DCS. Any idea what's going on and how to fix it? Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
