Oops, sorry for this little bug. I forgot to remove a default altitude restriction I was using to debug my code: Labels are blinking when aircraft are violating restrictions. Just right-click on AGL or ASL (don’t remember which one) in the telemetry window and set to 0 the current minimum altitude restriction. This will stop this alert…

Tacview 1.4 beta 1 is available! Tacview 1.4 beta 1 is now available to registered users! http://www.strasoftware.com/beta/tacview/ While still working on the online debriefing and the real-time flight recording, I want to release this new version which offers a lot of little improvements for everyone. Whether you are using Tacview for real-life or virtual combat, I’m sure each of you will find something neat in this new version! FEATURES & CHANGES Added support for Garmin G1000 Flight Deck CSV files Added support for KML flight recordings exported from ForeFlight & FlightAware Added support for MGRS coordinates system Added AGL (above ground level altitude) to charts, labels & walls Added roll and pitch angles to the telemetry windows You can now define AGL & ASL restrictions which trigger alarms Clicking the compass now returns to a top view with the north up Labels size and auto-scale can now be automatically or manually adjusted to match screen resolution New versions of Tacview will be installed on previously installed versions Improved fonts used in the 3D view and charts Added support for Windows 10 Terrain, static objects, and 3D models can now be stored in %USERPROFILE%\Saved Games\Tacview\Data\ Added DA40 Diamond Star 3D mesh Added some real world airports to the map

Tacview enabled guys! I do enjoy having both relaxing or combat flights time on this server. The “map” is very well made and in constant evolution. There is always something cool to do depending on your mood and inspiration. Novices are warmly welcome and guided while aces have fun too! I can't help but emphasis that Tacview is fully enabled on this server. So you can learn right away from your mistakes or successes! http://tacview.strasoftware.com/

Nice video! It reminds me good old movies like ‘the final countdown’. I want more :D

I think that you are looking for the version 1.2.8. You can download it from the bottom of this page: http://tacview.strasoftware.com/support/reportbug/ You may even try to use it side by side with the latest version of Tacview and for example open your Ka-50 flight recordings with Tacview 1.3.4 to enjoy recent improvements. However, now we are close to DCS 1.5, I do not guarantee that the terrain is going to match perfectly your version.

Unless you have customized your install, both versions are using the same files. So Tacview should already be able to record your flight right away. Please have a look at the documentation where I have listed all known installation issues (including the dcs_variant.txt case): http://tacview.strasoftware.com/documentation/dcs/

Yes! Tacview is on sale time to time. However these offers are not planed in advance. The next one can be in two weeks or six months… To be sure you are not going to miss one, you can follow my twitter thread:

You got a point! I’m going to add both roll and pitch to charts and telemetry windows in Tacview 1.4.

Sorry for this late answer, I just found your thread by chance. I still wonder why so many DCS World threads are lost in the lomac section… From what I know the 104th server does not authorize data export. This is why in your case Tacview is only able to know where your MiG-21 is and what you are doing but nothing else about the other pilots or AI objects. Like suggested on my web site you can either replay the corresponding tracks after each flight so Tacview can at last export all the data available. Or you can try alternate servers where Tacview is “authorized” like [Open Conflict] for example.

Done! MGRS has been implemented in Tacview 1.4

Tacview 1.3.4 is available! Tacview 1.3.4 is available! I was quite busy during the past months, so this version is only a step towards Tacview 2.0. Nevertheless, several of your suggestions have been implemented and you can also enjoy improved ergonomics, especially during network sessions analysis. The next step is the v1.4 with the first version of the famous online debriefing and native support for X-Plane. Don’t worry, Tacview 2.0 is still on its way and planned to be released before the F/A-18 lol ;) Vyrtuoz http://www.strasoftware.com/download/tacview FEATURES & CHANGES Added combined roll angle and G force display to the HUD Added support for DCS World Nevada Terrain Added support for the Hawk T.1A (DCS World) Improved 3D view labels readability Selected object labels are now displayed in foreground Missiles acceleration (Gs) is now displayed as lateral acceleration instead of total acceleration Inactive objects are now greyed out in the selection lists Increased Falcon 4.0 DTC lineSTPT objects height from about 10,000 feet to about 30,000 feet Unknown Falcon 4.0 DTC PPT types are now displayed with a height equal to their radius Relative spawn time is now displayed for each aircraft in the objects lists Weapons fire time is now displayed in relative time to mission start in the objects lists Added Line of Sight Rate telemetry between selected objects Added support for Hebrew characters in the 3D view It is now possible to display an empty terrain for best readability Automatic declutter is less aggressive when auto-scale up is not active Tacview now automatically checks and notifies when a new version is available for download Updated Aegean Theatre for BMS to v1.5 Tacview now also loads static objects from the %USERPROFILE%\Saved Games\Tacview\Data\Static Objects\ folder Added a mini crash reporter to help with crashes analysis FIXES Multiple instances of the same player aircraft are now properly grouped and sorted in the objects list Temporarily disabled textures streaming to fix crashes with some graphic cards Uninitialized memory was triggering random crashes with some graphic cards with the free edition of Tacview Time slider was not moving properly when clicking before or after the slider Tankers (ships) were displayed as KC-10 Extender (the aircraft) Clicking on objects list without any flight data loaded was making the application crash Fixed rare crashes in charts and 3D view while working with invalid telemetry values An error message about FSX2ACMI.exe was displayed in some cases when uninstalling Tacview The export script for DCS World is now resilient to multiple references to fix performances issues when wrongly installed

Yes this will be definitively possible with the new incoming acmi format which is planned for Tacview 1.4+.

Done! Line of sight rate has been added to Tacview 1.3.4 in the same menu as closure rate. The first beta will be released in the coming days.

Understood! X-Plane support is planned and may be available in Tacview 1.4.

Closure rate for the two selected objects is already available in the button between in the middle on top of the 3D view (currently named Closing Speed). Right-click on the button to see available telemetry data. What do you mean by Line of Sight Rate? Could it be the Turn RaTe (TRT) visible in the telemetry window?

As you can see in one of my screenshots, I’m currently considering making Tacview exporter a DCS “module”. However, because it is also working with other flight simulators, the “player” part of Tacview will remains an independent application. That said; I will make it available on Steam to make the life of everyone interested easier.

As long as the A-10C CDU does not trigger any lua error in DCS World, Tacview should work fine with it. There is no special operation to do, just let Tacview automatically adding its export line at the end of export.lua and everything should work as expected. If this does not work, please refer to Tacview documentation to see how to fix possible errors and how to manually install Tacview scripts: http://tacview.strasoftware.com/documentation/dcs/

This is the Summer Sale from June 12th to June 22th: -30% on all Tacview licenses including group buying. Now you have the best tools in hands to become the best pilot ever and shine in society by relating your heroic feats! If you want to upgrade from Home to Professional, just send me an email with your product key and I will return you a special link. http://www.strasoftware.com/buy/tacview

All right, I see what you mean now. I can add this feature in a future release, as long as I can find a way to get the wind information. Are you talking specifically about DCS World or are you thinking about another flight simulation?

I think I like the idea, even if I’m sure completely sure how it looks like. Can you share me some screenshots so I can see exactly what you are talking about?

Thanks for the feedback! You are right, in Tacview 1.3.3, weapons sources are not always displayed in order to reduce clutter. That said, you can notice that weapons fired by currently selected objects are outlined. You can also move your mouse cursor over any object to display all available details about it. This is still a work in progress. I agree that the current flight log is not easy to read with a loaded battlefield. This is why it is going to be completely revamped in Tacview 2.0. You will then be able to easily spot the events of your choice at a glimpse.

This information is not yet available unfortunately. However, thanks to the excellent research work made by Vicx I hope to be able to add radar cones in Tacview 2.0 exporter. Look at the prototyping screenshots in the whole thread here: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=135802

I never tried Helios, so I don’t know anything about a special line you would have to add. My guess is as long as it does not generate any errors; both programs should work well together without any special action. Just try to turn off then on the export from Tacview so the export line is properly reset. If this does not work, let me know and share me your export.lua script so I can see how it looks like.
