Sure, thanks!

lol I don't know what that is. Can you please share your ACMI file?

Okay, if that doesn't work please share your ACMI file and a screenshot. Maybe it is something else I am not thinking of.

Hi, red dotted line is heading, enable/disable it through the Display Selected Objects Vectors button:

This is now possible with Tacview 1.8.7 beta 17: https://tacview.net/download/beta/ For each instance of DCS go to Saved Games\DCS.INSTANCE\Config\options.lua and add to the Tacview options the following, using your own desired file path: ["tacviewExportPath"] = "C:\\Downloads\\DCS Open Beta Server ACMI\\"

I am no good at modifying .obj files but you can grab the .obj file here: https://github.com/Vyrtuoz/Tacview/tree/master/3D Models/Data/Meshes and change it, using Blender or something, to include a transparent glideslope - see how the propellers on some aircraft are transparent. Then use these instructions to use your modified file instead of the original one: https://tacview.fandom.com/wiki/Technical_Reference_-_3D_Objects This is also the answer to your question about how to attach an object to another object. It should also be possible to accomplish this via an add-on: See examples and documentation here: C:\Program Files (x86)\Tacview (beta)\AddOns\ and here: https://github.com/RaiaSoftwareInc/tacview.add-ons.lua On our Discord https://discord.com/invite/qe26hQzSSf there is a lua-scripting channel. ***HOWEVER*** I have thought of something else which might be much easier ... I thought of using the existing Radar properties to create a glideslope. In this case the glideslope originates from the center of the object which is not perfect but I think it looks good. I included a screenshot and an ACMI file. Open the ACMI file in a text editor and play with the Radar properties to change the size and angles of the "glideslope". See details about each Radar property here: https://tacview.net/documentation/acmi/ Let me know if you think use of the existing Radar properties is good enough for your purposes. Then I could write a very simple add-on. Admiral K.txt.acmi

I have been thinking about your question and the only two ways I can think of is (a) change the .obj file itself to include a transparent glideslope or (b) write an add-on. No easy answer!

There aren't any themes exactly but you can customize the terrain textures: https://tacview.fandom.com/wiki/Technical_Reference_-_Terrain_Textures You can use the Remote Control feature to control the current local aircraft: https://tacview.fandom.com/wiki/Remote_Control

Hi, 1) Currently there is no way to specify separate ACMI folders for each instance, but it's something we definitely want to implement in the future. 2) After testing I can confirm that tacviewAutoDiscardFlights doesn't work for clients on dedicated servers. We will see if we have time to add this in a future update of Tacview 1.x, otherwise it will be fixed in an update of Tacview 2.x

Thanks for this easy-to-use ACMI file. I see the problem - the BLU-108 cluster spawns at 0,0 so Tacview cannot guess that it is associated with the other objects. In general Tacview creates events by interpreting what is happening based on locations. We'll investigate further - your ACMI file will be helpful - but I don't know if we will be able to fix it.

Thank you for these easy-to-work-with ACMI files. In the second file, after debugging I we realized that there is no mention of firing because Tacview currently does not log shots coming from "ground" objects, to avoid spamming the log. In Tacview 2.0 everything will be logged and there will be filters available. In the first file, Tacview did not understand that shots could be coming from a building, and we were able to fix that so that now Tacview recognizes where the shots are coming from and will not assign them to the SA-18. However, you will not see it in the log for the same reason as above - no logging of "ground" objects shots.

Hi, We don't remember if we properly considered cluster bombs. Can you please share your ACMI file? Hi, Thanks for the extra work you put in testing all of this. In the first case, it is possible that Tacview did not understand that the bullets could be coming from a building so it assumed the bullets were coming from the SA-18. Can you share your ACMI file for that? Can you also share your ACMI file where no mention is made in the flight log of the weapons being fired?

Hi, Can you please share your DCS log? No check box is expected to appear next to ACMI Files Recording Folder menu option, so don't worry about that - that option is just for you to select a folder.

Hi, I feel like this must be because the export path is not writable. Can you try changing the export path to C:/Downloads/ or something? To do so, in Tacview, go to Options -> ACMI Files Recording Folder... - see the screenshot below. Let me know how it goes

Hi all, For any of you who use PHPTacview by Ezor, I invite you to try this version that I have updated to improve readability and get rid of some error messages. I also added stats for kills of trucks, mention of number of occurrences of multiple projectiles, and aircraft identification photos. Get it from our website - scroll right to the bottom of this page: https://tacview.net/download/addons/ Don't hesitate to let me know about any issues! Happy flying, BuzyBee

Hi, this is a great question! Actually each bullet has its own ID (assigned by DCS World) but they are not all listed. In your example, you can tell that they are all from the same group by the Parent Object ID and the Time: <Event> <Time>1915.47</Time> <Location> <Longitude>56.4641612</Longitude> <Latitude>27.4958029</Latitude> <Altitude>322.45</Altitude> </Location> <PrimaryObject ID="278"> <Type>Aircraft</Type> <Name>A-10C Thunderbolt II</Name> <Pilot>xyz</Pilot> <Coalition>Enemies</Coalition> <Country>us</Country> <Group>Aerial-1</Group> </PrimaryObject> <Action>HasFired</Action> <Occurrences>90</Occurrences> <SecondaryObject ID="1253"> <Type>Shell</Type> <Name>weapons.shells.GAU8_30_AP</Name> <Coalition>Enemies</Coalition> <Country>us</Country> <Parent>278</Parent> </SecondaryObject> </Event> <Event> <Time>1916.05</Time> <Location> <Longitude>56.46975</Longitude> <Latitude>27.494501</Latitude> <Altitude>138.95</Altitude> </Location> <PrimaryObject ID="268"> <Type>Tank</Type> <Name>T-90</Name> <Coalition>Neutral</Coalition> <Country>dz</Country> <Group>Ground-16</Group> </PrimaryObject> <Action>HasBeenHitBy</Action> <Occurrences>39</Occurrences> <SecondaryObject ID="1252"> <Type>Shell</Type> <Name>weapons.shells.GAU8_30_AP</Name> <Coalition>Enemies</Coalition> <Country>us</Country> <Parent>278</Parent> </SecondaryObject> <ParentObject ID="278"> <Type>Aircraft</Type> <Name>A-10C Thunderbolt II</Name> <Pilot>xyz</Pilot> <Coalition>Enemies</Coalition> <Country>us</Country> <Group>Aerial-1</Group> </ParentObject> </Event> <Event> <Time>1916.10</Time> <Location> <Longitude>56.4700877</Longitude> <Latitude>27.4943525</Latitude> <Altitude>138.64</Altitude> </Location> <PrimaryObject ID="264"> <Type>Tank</Type> <Name>T-90</Name> <Coalition>Neutral</Coalition> <Country>dz</Country> <Group>Ground-16</Group> </PrimaryObject> <Action>HasBeenHitBy</Action> <Occurrences>48</Occurrences> <SecondaryObject ID="1255"> <Type>Shell</Type> <Name>weapons.shells.GAU8_30_AP</Name> <Coalition>Enemies</Coalition> <Country>us</Country> <Parent>278</Parent> </SecondaryObject> <ParentObject ID="278"> <Type>Aircraft</Type> <Name>A-10C Thunderbolt II</Name> <Pilot>xyz</Pilot> <Coalition>Enemies</Coalition> <Country>us</Country> <Group>Aerial-1</Group> </ParentObject> </Event>

Hi, can you please share your DCS log?

I understand - in Tacview 2.0 the flight log will have filters.

Hi, Go to File -> Export Flight Log to export the flight log to CSV (or XML) and open it in Excel or something to have a sortable flight log.

Tacview records a TXT file and a ZIP file simultaneously, then if all goes well the TXT file is removed. But if there is a crash in DCS or something else happens to corrupt the ZIP file, the TXT file remains so that at least the user can see the flight up to the point of the corruption. The DCS Log is perfect, I will be happy to take a look at it.

Hi Glow, Can you share the media file where the audio is fine but the video is delayed? In the meantime, I would recommend downloading the latest version of the K-Lite Basic Codec pack: https://codecguide.com/download_k-lite_codec_pack_basic.htm even if you have already downloaded it, and trying again.

Can you please share the tracks you are merging?

Since Tacview 1.8.5 the configuration has been updated. This is the new configuration: ["Tacview"] = { ["tacviewAutoDiscardFlights"] = 10, ["tacviewBookmarkShortcut"] = 0, ["tacviewDebugMode"] = 0, ["tacviewFlightDataRecordingEnabled"] = true, ["tacviewModuleEnabled"] = true, ["tacviewMultiplayerFlightsAsClient"] = 2, ["tacviewMultiplayerFlightsAsHost"] = 2, ["tacviewRealTimeTelemetryEnabled"] = true, ["tacviewRealTimeTelemetryPassword"] = "", ["tacviewRealTimeTelemetryPort"] = "42674", ["tacviewRemoteControlEnabled"] = false, ["tacviewRemoteControlPassword"] = "", ["tacviewRemoteControlPort"] = "42675", ["tacviewSinglePlayerFlights"] = 2, ["tacviewTerrainExport"] = 0, }, See our official wiki for a detailed explanation of each option: https://tacview.fandom.com/wiki/User_Guide_–_DCS_World#Exporter_Options Setting these options: ["tacviewRealTimeTelemetryEnabled"] = true ["tacviewRealTimeTelemetryPassword"] = "" should result in no playback delay. Make sure Tacview is installed on the server. If none of this helps can you please share your DCS log(s) ideally of server and client
