blkspade, found em! thanks for the path. Not sure why winblows search didn't find them... thanks y'all!

no dice. i searched both c and d drive for acmi file....don't find anything. tired of screwing with it.

SiThSpAwN, thanks a lot! Time to go fly and see! Thank you too! cichlidfan, I'll go fly and see.

SiThSpAwN thanks for working with me here. I 'thought' I had done all that...I didn't do the step : Copy the script TacviewExportDCS.lua in the C:\Users\%USERNAME%\Saved Games\DCS\Scripts\ folder. So...I just did that...now what? What causes the acmi files to be 'exported'?

installed "it" correctly? dscworld or tacview?

I enjoyed this. thanks for posting!

Thanks Jona33 for the quick reply. so it's supposed to be like that...problem is in this case, it's near dark and even zooming in, target is hard to see...the night vision doesn't help either...too much light at dusk? thanks!!!!

Maybe I'm slow, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to use tacview with dcs a10c. I save the track, only way dcs will let me is trk file. Tacview does not like trk file. I did the export.lau thing, but still don't know what that does for me. I didn't find the info on tacview site helpful either. What am I missing?:huh:

Probably been asked before....I searched but didn't see anything specific. On a recent mission, I run out of ordinance and am left with guns. I switch to GUNs master mode and have the (doesn't matter) gun cross or the pipper. The problem I have is when I place the pipper on the SPI, the SPI gets masked. I need to see the SPI, not hide it. Is this normal? Thanks in advance!

course, if I read the sticky on this sub forum, I might of found the solution to my problem :D http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=80650 I'll try this...

problem with filing a ticket is it is just a dorked up as trying to post on this forum. simple solution was to create new account, which comes with its own set of problems. can't there be a contact the adminstrator link???

I got tacview...love it. Thanks for the welcome. I have another account, it just doesn't work. Been on here for a while, just don't post much. I'm getting really geeked about this totally emersive sim and looking to join a squad soon as I think the wife won't have a cow. I'm not sure that tacview would show me why AI was not obeying though...but to your point, tacview is most helpful in understanding your tactics. Love it with BMS!

So far so good. I'm really enjoying DCS World. I was getting frustrated on 1.2.2 trying to complete the Overwatch mission. With the default weapons loadout, I really had to depend on my wingman to use some of his ordinance. Problem was, ordering him to attack targets at my SPI was pointless. He'd break formation after affirming my command, flying toward the SPI only to terminate his intent by rejoining. In playing this mission, I have gotten really good at contacting JTAC, and in many fatal attempts at defeating this mission, watching replays became extremely helpful. So..take aways/first impression of 1.2.3? Great stuff! JTAC is now super strict...before I didn't wait for tasking, I didn't report contact the mark, or announce running in. I just fired and got "target destroyed". Now (1.2.3)...if I don't follow JTAC orders, I get abort abort abort. He even knows the second I pickle the weapon. Pretty smart JTAC in my opinion. He screams, YOU HAVE NO PERMISSION! of course once target is destroyed he says target destroyed. I'm not sure if points get taken away from me or anything but....I had the shot, and I took it :D Wingman, still not that smart, but at least he flies to your SPI. So, sent my wingy after first AAA. He flies to my SPI alright...right over it and gets shot. When he is successful, he flies to SPI, announces target at 6 oclock for 6 (it's like, I know..I sent you there dummy)...then he flies away (I suppose gets setup for run in), then runs in...also...shooting when he almost on top of the target...not good...but hey...at least I can get him to engage. AI ground targets. I've been flying Overwatch for a couple weeks now (in spare time) and I don't recall the AAA ever shooting at me. Now (1.2.3) you better be careful or you'll get one right in the keester, makes the pucker factor way better! Watching the replay, I noticed the AI infantry shooting at my supply convoy after making the turn to the west. Infantry comes down from the trees to the North. The tracers coming from their guns was bouncing off the ground, kinda creating a fireworks looking effect. Being a QA guy by profession, this didn't seem right. Still enjoyed watching all the AI do their thing. Before 1.2.3 (1.2.2) during a long session (1 hr maybe) my screen would just stop...go black, even though I hear sound, and eventually the screen would repaint and I was still flying...thank goodness I wasn't in a bad flight position when this happened. This is STILL the case in 1.2.3. I have others with this same problem for 1.2.2, so trusting you all know about this. I do have latest vid drivers etc. This is a bit frustrating when this happens. As my flight time with 1.2.3 has been limited, I can tell that ED is committed to this sim and I look forward to a full on land sea air war someday soon. Great Job ED!!!! Keep it up!!! Figure its time to join a squadron when I start getting upset at my dumb AI wingy. another note: I had to create a new account just to post this. Getting in touch with anyone via a admin link or contact us link is nearly impossible if you can't post on this forum. I have posted else where to share my account woes hoping to get my originally created account back. Thank you!

I've never seen such a successful software company make it nearly impossible to reach or contact an administrator. I had to create myself a new account on the forum just to post this...not good. The only contact I could find requires me to login from DCS-World Site. At any rate...I was posting this because I get this on my previous user account on these forums. I'd like to use this account, but if I can't post, it's no good to me. :helpsmilie: .stretch., you do not have permission to access this page.
