Hi, thanks for this report. Can you please share the ACMI file?

Thank you for trying!

Thanks for these extremely helpful details!! We are going to work on reproducing this.

Thank you. And if you simply disconnect then reconnect, does that fix the issue, or do you absolutely have to restart the server? Can you please share your log as a client of an incident where a 10-minute delay was imposed on you?

Thank you. This might be associated to a known bug where DCS is not calling Tacview DLL when expected under some conditions. When this happens, if you simply disconnect then reconnect, without restarting the server or anything, does that work at all? Also can you please share your server settings? I am especially curious to see what your pause settings are. Saved Games\DCS.openbeta_server\Config\serverSettings.lua

OK I see - Ideally I would like to see (1) a log of the server, (2) a log of a client connecting without a delay, and (3) a log of a client connecting with a 10-minute delay. Perhaps you don't have #3 but could you share #1 and #2 to start? (The client in #2 could be yourself connecting to your own server).

Hi, In order for no one to have a 10-minute delay, tacviewRealTimeTelemetryPassword needs to be blank, i.e. ["tacviewRealTimeTelemetryPassword"] = "", (It is not possible to allow a user to have no 10-minute delay but to not have access to real-time telemetry, because this would be misleading, since it is basically the same thing) Let me know if this helps

Hi, Do you want the magnetic heading to be displayed in the HUD?

Hi, This must be an add-on created by a member of the community using the Lua SDK. Find out more about that here: https://github.com/RaiaSoftwareInc/tacview.add-ons.lua and here: C:\Program Files (x86)\Tacview\AddOns\ Let me know if you have questions!

Hi, Last year I tried to fix the empty arrays errors in PHPTacview. Did you download the version I published on the website in August 2021? https://tacview.net/download/addons/ If there are still issues I don't know when I will get back to it - feel free to look at the code yourself of course. I don't think we will have time to implement the log for 2-seaters anytime soon since it would be a lot of work for each cockpit. But thank you for the suggestion - we will keep it on our list.

Sure we will take a look at this and add an option if feasible.

Hi, This is the kind of thing that we encourage users to calculate themselves in Excel (for example) using the exported data - the export feature is there so you can create your own custom reporting.

Hi, Static objects are for display only, so they are not selectable. Adding an object or waypoint from within Tacview is the right idea. To avoid having to painstakingly add it each time you load a new file, you can create a mini ACMI file containing the waypoint, and load it at the same time as you are loading your file, using the File->Merge functionality. I have attached such a mini acmi file as an example. mini-acmi-waypoint-example.txt.acmi

Hi, we will consider this for Tacview 2.0!

Hi, I just tried this myself, launching a mission in Marianas with mission date and time of 21-JUNE 8h00 . Tacview showed a UTC time of 22h00 on 20-JUNE, so using a time offset of UTC + 10 brought me to 8h00 on 21-JUNE as expected. Can you share a mission file which is not working properly for you?

Hi, it's the mission time from the simulator, but in Zulu. Optionally, you may change the time offset to match the time zone of the area where the mission is taking place. For example if you are flying the Caucasus map, put Time Offset -> UTC + 4

With Tacview 1.8.8 beta 5 ( https://tacview.net/download/beta/ ) you can now customize colors. I have made a small wiki page describing how to do so: https://tacview.fandom.com/wiki/Customize_object_colors You will want to customize the "Destroyed" color. Maybe to black instead of grey?

Hi, thanks for reporting this. Please send the crash dump and full log file to support@tacview.net

Hi, yes that's no problem! Tacview will by default install itself in the folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Tacview\ and the beta in the folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Tacview (beta)\ . DCS should use the one which is installed most recently.

Hi, there is no ETA currently. For the performance, keep in mind we will be optimizing as much as possible on our end, but there are issues on DCS World's end as well which are out of our control. https://tacview.fandom.com/wiki/FPS_Loss_While_Recording_Your_Flight_in_DCS_World

Hi, You can do that from the command line: C:\Program Files (x86)\Tacview (beta)>Tacview64.exe --Quiet --Open:"C:\Downloads\compress-me.txt.acmi" --Save See all command line options by going to Help -> Command Line Options

Right now it's hardcoded but we will work on making a way for users to choose their own colours for that type of thing. I will let you know!

Hi, can you please share a dcs log of a flight during which you are having these issues?

Hi, Dead ground units (buildings, tanks, trucks) will remain in place but the colour will change to grey. This is an ergonomics decision, to improve situational awareness during debriefing - the dead objects can act as landmarks. Is this what you are referring to? Hi, If you replay the TRK file in DCS World, Tacview will record an ACMI file for it. There is no faster way.
