Good point! I will add a way to switch between layers, or to disable some custom textures.

Tacview 1.6.3 is now available! Download: HERE This intermediate release brings a few new features and several bugs fixes. The online export has been fixed After a bit of logic refactoring Tacview 1.6.2 DCS World exporter was not recording online games anymore. The exporter has been fixed. I have test all combinations possible and I think that this is the most reliable version of the exporter so far. Cockpit instruments It is now possible to display a 5-pack cockpit instruments in all views. This makes replays even more intuitive, especially during navigation and GA aircraft flight analysis. The cockpit instruments will try to display the IAS, magnetic heading and true altitude when available. When not available, they will respectively fallback to CAS, TAS, and true heading. A future update will display barometric altitude as well as the QNH. True custom terrain textures Now, you can display truly custom textures and orthophotos! No need anymore to produce perfect 1x1 degree tiles! All you must do, is to store your PNG and JPEG files in the appropriate folder and to declare your new maps in the appropriate XML file. You can use this feature to display real-life photoreal textures as well as the maps of your favorite region. PNG transparency is supported, so you can overlay several layers. Copy your pictures in C:\ProgramData\Tacview\Data\Terrain\Textures\ Copy the file C:\Program Files (x86)\Tacview (beta)\Data\Terrain\Textures\CustomTextureList.xml in C:\ProgramData\Tacview\Data\Terrain\Textures\ And declare in it your new pictures. All you need to do, is to declare the latitude/longitude of each corner of your texture. You can easily check them using Google Earth image overlay tool, in the LatLonQuad Location mode. IL-2 Sturmovik support IL-2 Sturmovik is now natively supported and all the appropriate elevation maps have been added for more accurate playback especially for ground and naval units. Enjoy! Vyrtuoz FEATURES & CHANGES • Added optional 5-pack cockpit instrument at the bottom of the 3D View • Added IL-2 Sturmovik terrains • Added support for free custom textures and orthophotos • Added focus management to remote controls (for buttons and axe shortcuts) • Improved remote controls modifier assignment • Doubled remote controls custom commands for a total of 8 • When available, Magnetic Heading is now smoothly interpolated • Magnetic heading is now exported from X-Plane, P3D, and FSX FIXES • DCS World exporter was not working anymore when flying online on a server with no Tacview installed • Joystick dead zones are now properly managed by the remote controls • Resizing Tacview window could be very slow

Thank you for the feedback guys! It seems that I have introduced a bug while rewriting the exporter logic in Tacview 1.6.2. The exporter does not record the flight whenever you are playing on an online server where Tacview is not installed. I have fixed the problem in Tacview 1.6.3 which should be released this week. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Flyco, can you share your multiplayer dcs.log file please?

Tacview exporter cannot bypass DCS World protections. So, like always, you will have to playback the track file in DCS World after the online flight to record it.

@WildBillKelsoe In all honesty, porting statics objects to Tacview is currently laborious and takes a lot of time I prefer to invest in new features and more accurate telemetry. For instance, I will soon create a static object editor and a new file format which should make this operation a quick and smooth process. So, you will be able to do it yourself in just a “few clicks” in a coming update...

Assuming the server authorized data export: The whole flight will be recorded, regardless of the playback delay (which is typically 10 minutes by default). Only the review will be postponed based on the playback delay.

Tacview 1.6.2 is now available! Tacview 1.6.2 is now available to everyone! Download: http://tacview.net/download This update brings numerous fixes, plus the following improvements: The instructors are going to like the upgraded remote controls: You can now assign custom keyboard and joystick controls to remotely controls and assist the aircraft of your trainees flying in DCS World, FSX, Prepar3D and X-Plane. Remote controls can also be used to trigger special features (flags) in your DCS World mission. The DCS World exporter has been improved to fully record and playback network flights when playing back the corresponding track files in DCS World. The next update will bring an improved anti-cheat system which will enable you to playback any network flight as long as you wait enough time before reviewing it in Tacview. New command line options have been introduced so administrators can silently and remotely install and update Tacview using the command line. FEATURES & CHANGES • Added support for custom and animated explosions and smoke radius • Added support for AGL altitude advanced telemetry data • Remote controls will now automatically attempt to re-establish the connection with the host sim • Remote controls are now displaying big icons easier to use with touch screens • It is now possible to use keyboard and joystick inputs to remote control simulators • Added remote control command to toggle wing tip smoke • Eject and respawn now requires a double click in the remote controls • Added /ConnectRealTimeTelemetry command line option to auto connect real-time telemetry at startup • Added /ConnectRemoteControl[:*] command line option to auto connect specified remote control at startup • Added /ConfigSet command line option to separately store user preferences for each specific instance of Tacview • Real-time telemetry now keeps the current camera mode when connecting to a new session • Integrated BMS Balkans 4.33.3.5 terrain and database • Integrated BMS Ikaros 4.1.0 terrain and database • Acmi files saved from Tacview are now as compact as they are with the latest universal exporter • Remote controls are now distinctively colored depending on the simulator host name • It is now possible to trigger the flags 1001 to 1004 in DCS World with Tacview remote control • Added /ProductKey:"xxx" command line option to register Tacview from the installer • Added /InstallFolder:"xxx" command line option for the installer • Added /Quiet command line option for the installer FIXES • Network flights recorded using DCS World track player can now be reviewed up to the end depending on the playback duration • DCS World exporter logic has been rewritten to fix rare remote control and real-time telemetry issues • Fixed several connection bugs concerning the remote control and real-time telemetry in Tacview • It was not possible to pause X-Plane with the remote control • Screen-saver will not be active anymore while watching real-time telemetry • Cockpit camera keyboard controls were inverted • Pitch value was inverted in the charts

Which server are you trying to join? Which version of DCS World are you using? Also, can you share me the following files, they will help me to narrow down the bug: \Saved Games\DCS\Logs\dcs.log \Saved Games\DCS\Logs\DCS.xxxxx.crash \Saved Games\DCS\Logs\DCS.xxxxx.dmp

@Oceandar The 10 minutes delay will be disregarded if you record your flight with Tacview 1.6.2 beta 2 exporter while playing back your track file in DCS World. All the problems related to the anti-cheat delay should be fixed in a coming update (maybe the 1.6.3)

Tacview 1.6.2 beta 2 is now available: http://tacview.net/download/beta/ You should now be able to record a whole online flight when playing the corresponding track file in DCS World. Assuming the playback last longer than 10 minutes. The next iteration will be an improved anti-cheat system which - hopefully - will remove the need to record the data using track file playback.

@TeeJayD It looks like the old version of Tacview which was previously installed on your computer was not properly uninstalled. Just REMOVE the following line from your export.lua and this should fix your problem: local Tacviewlfs=require('lfs');dofile(Tacviewlfs.writed ir()..'Scripts/TacviewExportDCS.lua') @DieHard Because C:\Program Files (x86)\Tacview\Recordings is a protected folder, it may not be possible for Tacview exporter to record your flight data, unless you launch DCS World main executable with full administrator program. You may want to redirect your data to a more appropriate folder like %My Documents%\Tacview I was able to record flight data when joining the burning skies server Normandy with DCS World 2.1.1.6837. Can you share your dcs.log file? It will probably contain the answer to your problem. @ScAvenger001 This is a clever idea! I am not sure yet how to handle an LSO camera. But I will add the support for the carriers ILS glide when I will rewrite the objects database in the coming months.

You probably have something like a third-party script which prevents Tacview exporter from running properly. Check the question 16 in the FAQ: http://www.tacview.net/documentation/dcs/#q16 Your dcs.log file will probably contain the answer.

Theses licences are always valid, and will work up to Tacview 2.999. Even if you reinstall your system.

In Tacview 1.6.2 beta 2 you will be able to record the whole flight when playing back a track file. Also, I am currently working on an improved anti-cheat system with the hope of making everyone happy.

In a coming update of Tacview, you will be able to completely record an online flight, including the last 10 minutes, when playing back the track in DCS World. I simply did not have the time to code this feature yet.

It is true that running DCS World and Tacview at the same time can use a lot of VRAM. However, because they are fully independent 3D wise, this should not be a problem. All I can suggest is to make sure that your 3D drivers are fully up to date.

According to your log, the file C:\Users\Jens\Saved Games\DCS.openalpha\Scripts\Export.lua is corrupted. This is preventing Tacview exporter from being executed. Can you share this file please?

Thank you for the detailed feedback Bestandskraft. I am going to fix this issue in the next beta of Tacview 1.6.2.

Tacview 1.6.1 is available! Download: http://tacview.net/download Before everything else: The online debriefing is working again! My apologies for the delay and the inconvenience. This feature was broken because of a change introduced by the real-time telemetry. This is now fixed and everything should work as expected. You may even combine the real-time telemetry and online debriefing to oversee with other officers a battle in progress! This intermediate version also introduces several fixes and improvements to make the whole debriefing experience smoother: The long-awaited fuel telemetry is here! You can now review the fuel quantity and flow in most of the flight simulators and even in real-life (with the Garmin G1000 for example). Terrain colors have been modified to match the ones used in US VFR charts. It is an experiment with the idea of Tacview 2.0 being able to auto generate virtual VFR/IFR charts for the ground textures. Which should give a final result to the one you can see on Skyvector. Preliminary support has been added of IL-2 Sturmovik: Soon, you should be able to see proper 3d models for the aircraft (some may remain generic because Tacview library is growing up slowly), colors, coalitions, bullets, bombs and everything you can expect from a Tacview debriefing. IL-2 terrains should follow in Tacview 1.6.2. Talking about WWII: The famous DCS: Normandy 1944 Map has been added to Tacview. It is now possible to display full 3D earth without ocean surface to see submarines. In a future revision, a translucent ocean surface should be visible too. What’s next? In the coming revisions of Tacview: All the major IL-2 terrains will be added to Tacview. Because of lack of time, Falcon 4.0 real-time telemetry is still a project. But, be assured that I will do my best to offer you this feature if it is possible to do so. You will get a brand-new static-objects engine with its integrated editor! Handy to easily and quickly add runways, nav-aids and any other objects you would like to see in the world of Tacview. Native support for Open Street Map and Bing Map tiles. FEATURES & CHANGES • Added fuel quantity and flow for DCS World, X-Plane, FSX, and Garmin G1000 • Added support for custom raw elevation maps with arbitrary coordinates • Added Pegase and Duo Discus 3d models donated by Benoit ’Windblow’ Wingedsky • Added terrain high-contrast mode for video projector use • Added most of IL2 aircraft to Tacview database • Added support for DCS: Normandy 1944 Map • Added an option to automatically reconnect the real-time telemetry • Added Eject & Respawn commands to the remote controls • Added a status bar icon when real-time telemetry is active • It is now possible to display 3D oceans to see submarines • New FAA VFR style terrain color scheme FIXES • Fixed a crash in charts when some options where selected • Online debriefing was not working anymore with Tacview 1.6 final • It was not possible to change the online debriefing port • Left ALT was not working properly (e.g. ALT+F4 was not closing Tacview) • DCS World exporter was not always active and compressing files in zip on a fresh install • Charts were updated even when not displayed • X-Plane main aircraft pilot name and importance are now properly exported
