I have read through various forums trying to fix my problem but nothing has worked. I have TacView 1.2.4 as well as DCS World 1.2.7 in Steam installed and after clicking the “Record [DCS World] Flights”, I am asked to point to the DCS World install, which I do and the program seems happy. But, there is no recording icon in the lower right and the “Record [DCS World] Flights” is not checked. Every time I select it, nothing happens. It doesn’t ask for the DCS World folder again, just doesn’t check. I have verified that the export.lua and TacviewExportDCS.lua are in the D:\users\<my name>\saved games\DCS\Scripts folder and look correct (that is, the export.lua has the appropriate line in it). The network.cfg also shows the correct line (allow_object_export=true).
I have uninstalled TacView several times, including deleting all references to it in the registry and deleting all appdata or other folders and scripts. After a clean install, it again asks me for the location of the DCS World folder the first time I try to record but then doesn't check itself and doesn't show the icon. I have run both the 64 and 32 bit versions and both as Administrator as well. No difference.
Here are my relevant folders (none should have rights issues, I verified access):
DCS World: D:\Steam\steamapps\common\DCSWorld
Script Folders: D:\Users\<my name>\Saved Games\DCS\Scripts
TacView: D:\Games\Tacview
ACMI Save Folder: D:\Games\Tacview\Flights
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit
System Drive: C:\
User Drive: D:\
There is nothing in the Windows event log.
