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.

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.

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.

Sorry I missed this! Did you ever get it working?

In Tacview navigate to Recording -> Real-Time Telemetry, enter the IP address and click Connect. I am attaching a small guide with screenshots.How to use real-time telemetry.doc

We did look into this but unfortunately it's not feasible for now.

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.

We made the changes in Tacview 1.8.4 beta 6 published last Friday:https://tacview.net/download/beta/ We don't push any updates (unless you have the Steam version)

I am sorry to hear about this. Tacview is not programmed to overwrite the Export.lua file. It is programmed to add one line to the existing Export.lua file. There may be an edge case where if the existing Export.lua is not readable, it will be recreated. We are going to change this so that in the future if the Export.lua is not readable we will simply not touch it instead of recreating it.

Thanks for letting me know about the broken link - it is now fixed, please try again.

Hi, If you have directly purchased Tacview Advanced through the website (or Steam) after having already purchase Tacview Standard, you own 2 keys and you can use them on 2 separate workstations without restriction. Actually, each Tacview license is valid for 1 user on multiple workstations or 1 workstation with multiple users so if you are the only user of, say, the Tacview Advanced license, you may use it on both your P.C.'s.

We'll add Target Aspect and Heading Crossing Angle. We'll save Lateral Separation for Tacview 2.0 where you'll be able to enter your own formulas to display whatever measurements you need.

All the windows are dockable so just grab that window you want to move and drag it around and multiple options will appear allowing you to dock left, right, top bottom:

We may be able to add this to the drop-down menu between the two selected objects. But we try not to crowd it too much, so can you explain further how this information is particularly helpful to you? Also sorry but I do not understand the LS formula, can you please provide more details?

The Telemetry and Raw Telemetry windows are not currently customizable. We do plan on making them customizable in the future. You can customize the labels which can help you see at-a-glance the information you are most interested in. See the attachment:

Can you send me this .acmi file? Then I'll be able to play around with it on my end so I can be sure of what I'm telling you. :-)

Hey Glow, I wonder if VP-MAN_1_Idle is incorrectly typed - in particular if it is of type Building instead of Infantry? To get around that issue, try this code instead: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?> <DefaultPropertiesCollection LoadingOrder="0.5"> <DefaultProperties Id="Other.VP-MAN_1_Idle" Base="Core.Default"> <Criteria> <Name>VP-MAN_1_Idle</Name> </Criteria> <Properties> <AdditionalType>Infantry</AdditionalType> <Shape>Core.Infantry.obj</Shape> </Properties> </DefaultProperties> </DefaultPropertiesCollection> Names with Russian characters like VP-URAL AПA should be no problem for Tacview. I double-checked and Tacview can read it. I see that you have put encoding="UTF-8" in your XML which is perfect, but is your text editor set to encode in UTF-8 as well?

That's correct, Advanced is the highest level for an individual user. The Enterprise version is for companies and organizations. The Advanced version has team-oriented features such as Online Debriefing.

Hi Glow, in your case, if I understand correctly, you are not trying to replace an existing definition but simply make VP-MAN_1_Idle appear as an M-16. So this is all that needs to appear in your xml file: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?> <DefaultPropertiesCollection LoadingOrder="0.5"> <DefaultProperties Id="Other.VP-MAN_1_Idle" Base="Other.M-16"> <Criteria> <Name>VP-MAN_1_Idle</Name> </Criteria> </DefaultProperties> </DefaultPropertiesCollection> Let me know if this helps!

Please use Flight Log instead of Event Log for now (further down in the same menu) - Event Log is a work in progress!

Hi, The memory usage should be negligible in this case even with data recording enabled. If you disable data recording it should be even more negligible.

Hi, Make sure you have followed these steps exactly: 1. Delete the correct Export.lua (if you send me your dcs.log I can confirm exactly which file to delete but it sounds like you have the right one) 2. Re-install Tacview (just rerun the installer) If you are flying online, ensure that the server's settings allow telemetry export. (If the server does not allow telemetry export you can still play back the track file generated by DCS World which will record an .acmi file for Tacview.) If it's still not working please send your dcs.log.

Hi, Make sure you have launched Tacview from Steam at least one time because this will run some additional install scripts. If it's still not working after than, please send your dcs.log (found at Saved Games\DCS\Logs\ and your Tacview.log (found in %TEMP% folder)
