Maybe the issue is that the cockpit view puts the camera at the center of the plane (0,0,0) not where the pilot's head is. Can you please share the ACMI file with an attached screenshot and time stamp?

There was an issue with the most recent drivers of certain graphics cards that started causing problems in Tacview 1.9.0. We fixed it in Tacview 1.9.0 beta 3. So, your story checks out.

On my system I go to Windows Security → Protection History and I am able to authorize individual programs one by one.

Is it possible that Tacview does not have authorization to write to your Documents folder? Try changing the recording folder to Downloads or something. Options → ACMI Files Recording Folder..

Attention all flight simulation enthusiasts! The long-awaited update for Tacview has finally arrived! The latest version, Tacview 1.9.0, includes a range of exciting new features and improvements to enhance your flight analysis experience. With added support for Falcon 4 real-time telemetry and temporary files, as well as DCS: South Atlantic map, Mirage F-1CE, and MB-339 aircraft, you can take your flight simulations to new heights. Plus, the real-time telemetry lag option ensures smooth recordings even for challenging conditions. The addition of MSAA x4 anti-aliasing and Adaptive v-sync support to the 2D and 3D views, along with the option to switch between true and magnetic north, provides a more accurate and visually stunning experience. Improved HUD speed and altitude display, crisp terrain textures, and better mouse object selection, also add to the already impressive list of improvements. The latest release also includes important bug fixes to address crashes, inaccuracies, and UI issues. So, upgrade to Tacview 1.9.0 today and experience the improved flight analysis tool that helps you take your flight simulation to new heights!

Hi, There is a known bug where the first client to connect does not always get a recording. The workaround is to connect then immediately disconnect and reconnect. Does this sound like what is happening in your case?

Hi, Terrain Export is intended for use in Tacview only. It is in SRTM format because that takes up less space.

Yes that will work!

Hi, please send an email to support@tacview.net . But if it was part of a group buy I might not have any record that a key was assigned to you. In that case only the person who completed the group buy would know which key is yours.

Hey everyone we just received word that the 10-minute delay issue on the dedicated servers should be resolved with the next open beta update of DCS!

Finally I understand what you mean! That's a good idea, I am adding it to our list. Thank you.

I still have the issue after the update! Would you be so kind as to share a server and client log of an instance where you don't have the issue? Maybe it will help our investigation.

Thank you for letting me know! I will check that on my end.

I thought you were asking about real-time telemetry, but if you are simply looking to make recordings, you'll be happy to know that the Tacview exporter will automatically record any flight made in DCS World and place it by default in the Documents/Tacview/ folder. Tacview does not have to be open and you do not have to press any key.

Yes, just have Tacview open during your flight and go to Recording → Real Time Telemetry. Here are more detailed instructions: https://tacview.fandom.com/wiki/Real-Time_Telemetry:_DCS_World,_X-Plane,_Microsoft_Flight_Simulator_%26_Prepare3D

Thank you everybody, we are looking into this right away.

Hi, some of these options are the old options pre-Tacview 1.8.5. You need to use the new options as described here: https://tacview.fandom.com/wiki/User_Guide_–_DCS_World#Using_Tacview_with_DCS_World_Dedicated_Server Start by copy-pasting the options from the config/options.lua of your DCS install to the DCS dedicated server install and adjust them as desired Sorry I know it's a pain. Let me know if you have more questions - if something is not working please share Tacview logs of server and client.

Nothing else looks wrong in the log, but it is missing a lot of info since the module was turned off. If you share another log, with the module turned on, I will take another look.

Hi, Your log indicates that the Tacview exporter module is disabled. In DCS go to Options → Special → Tacview and make sure the box Tacview Module Enabled is ticked.

Hi, Thanks for sending the file. Now I see what that dotted line actually is. When two objects are selected as primary and secondary object (left and right drop-down menus) a green "line of sight" appears between the two. When the line of sight is blocked, by terrain or otherwise, the green line turns into the red dotted line you see in the screenshot, to indicate that the selected aircraft can no longer see each other.

Hi, Based on the screenshot and descriptions I am pretty sure that is a radar lock. (If I had the ACMI file I could tell you 100%). Since it is red, assuming you are the blue aircraft, it should be drawing a line to you from the red object which is tracking you on its radar. You can toggle radar locks on and off using the button shown in the screenshot attached

Hi, There is already an add-on which displays a control zone. You can see the code here: https://github.com/RaiaSoftwareInc/tacview.add-ons.lua (look for "control-zone"). To use it, go to Add-ons -> Enable/Disable Add-ons and select control-zone. Then go to Add-ons -> Control Zone and select Display Control Zone. I am attaching two unpublished add-ons which demonstrate how to attach an image or an object to a selected aircraft. You may need the latest beta for them to work. Un-zip the folder and place it in ProgramData\Tacview\AddOns\ and follow the same steps as above to enable them. Let me know if you need more info! display-avatar-2d.zip display-avatar-3d.zip

Thank you. I looked at this carefully and this is definitely a DCS bug. Tacview simply replays coordinates fed to it by DCS. I have seen this kind of DCS bug before, it happens sometimes. Sorry I don't have a better answer.
