Yes, use the star icon below the playback control bar to add a bookmark. I attached a screenshot to demonstrate. Can you please share your dcs.log of the server and the client? Do you get an error message when trying to open a zip file? Can you please share an example of an zip file which Tacview will not open?

Hi, If you have disabled recording you should not be getting any recording in your designated folder. Can you update to Tacview 1.8.5 and see if you are still having the same issue? If so please share your log.

Hi, I can confirm there are 2 separate installs for Tacview beta and stable. Now you may be using the stable version since it came out most recently, whereas you may have been using the beta for quite a while before that. So make sure that you have gone into each of the 2 installs and selected your desired ACMI Files Recording Folder.

In Tacview 1.8.5 the DCS Exporter is completely revamped so the options have changed. The new options are as follows - you may need to copy-paste this into your options.lua if you have a dedicated server. ["Tacview"] = { ["tacviewAutoDiscardFlights"] = 10, ["tacviewBookmarkShortcut"] = 2, ["tacviewDebugMode"] = 0, ["tacviewFlightDataRecordingEnabled"] = true, ["tacviewModuleEnabled"] = true, ["tacviewMultiplayerFlightsAsClient"] = 1, ["tacviewMultiplayerFlightsAsHost"] = 2, ["tacviewRealTimeTelemetryEnabled"] = true, ["tacviewRealTimeTelemetryPassword"] = "", ["tacviewRealTimeTelemetryPort"] = "42674", ["tacviewRemoteControlEnabled"] = true, ["tacviewRemoteControlPassword"] = "", ["tacviewRemoteControlPort"] = "42675", ["tacviewSinglePlayerFlights"] = 2, ["tacviewTerrainExport"] = 0, In order to implement a 10-minute delay, simply disable real-time telemetry: ["tacviewRealTimeTelemetryEnabled"] = false, Or, if you want to implement a 10-minute delay but you want certain people to be able to connect to real-time telemetry using a password, enable real-time telemetry but with a password: ["tacviewRealTimeTelemetryEnabled"] = true, ["tacviewRealTimeTelemetryPassword"] = "password", If you want to allow no 10-minute delay for everyone, do this: ["tacviewRealTimeTelemetryEnabled"] = true, ["tacviewRealTimeTelemetryPassword"] = "",

Tacview 1.8.5.201 is now published: https://tacview.net/download/latest/en/ Let us know how it goes!

Hi, Simply ensure Real Time Telemetry is enabled on the server and the 10 minute delay will be removed. In options.lua file, this is the equivalent of: ["tacviewRealTimeTelemetryEnabled"] = true, Leave the password blank if you don't want any password to be required ["tacviewRealTimeTelemetryPassword"] = "",

When Controlled Folder Access is turned on for the first time, you need to specify which applications are allowed to create files. Even Microsoft Office applications are not allowed to create files until you have indicated that they are allowed to do so. From Controlled Folder Access, go to to Block History and find the entry where Tacview has been blocked. Then click Actions -> Allow on Device.

In the client's log, I see that a 10 minute delay is being enforced because the client believes that Tacview is not installed on the host. TACVIEW.DLL: Tacview is not installed on the host TACVIEW.DLL: Applying playback delay of 10 minutes to prevent cheating In the server log I see an error: Can't execute Lua file [...]\Saved Games\DCS.server\Scripts\Export.lua - can't open '[..]\Saved Games\DCS.server\Scripts/TacviewGameExport.lua Does the file Saved Games\DCS.server\Scripts/TacviewGameExport.lua exist? If not, you can add it by running the Tacview installer while logged in as the host. Alternatively, go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Tacview\DCS\ There will be a mods and a scripts folder - copy and paste both folders to: %USERPROFILE%\Saved Games\DCS.server\ This should make Saved Games\DCS.server\Scripts/TacviewGameExport.lua appear, along with other important files. Let me know how it goes.

If you have Tacview installed on the dedicated server and you are following the steps in that link, it should be working. Can you share a DCS log from the server and and one from the client?

This is correct. The server controls the delay and the default (which applies if there is no Tacview installed) is a 10-minute delay. We had to make this decision because otherwise anybody with Tacview can join any server with export allowed and view their flight in real-time - even servers whose operators and users don't use Tacview themselves and/or aren't aware of Tacview's existence.

Hi, In your file %USERPROFILE%\Saved Games\DCS\Scripts\Export.lua, do you see the following line: local Tacviewlfs=require('lfs');dofile(Tacviewlfs.writedir()..'Scripts/TacviewGameExport.lua') If it's not there can you try adding it. If this doesn't help can you please share your Tacview log - found at %TEMP%/Tacview.log

Hi, You should be able to drag the timeline to the bottom. When you CLICK+DRAG on the title bar of a window, icons will appear, like in the screenshot below. Move the window to the icon at the bottom of the screen. If that's not working for you for whatever reason, to reset all the windows including the time line, go to Registry Editor and delete the registry key at HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Raia Software\Tacview\Local\Windows and re-launch Tacview.

Thanks for the screenshot, I see what the problem is - in your screenshot the two planes on the button are grey because the button is not activated. Click on the button to activate it - then the planes will be blue and red.

Here you go: https://forums.eagle.ru/forum/english/digital-combat-simulator/dcs-world-2-5/bugs-and-problems-ai/object-errors-ac/7129769-ships-flagged-late-activation-are-unexpectedly-exported-before-activation It may help our cause if you add your comments to that thread.

Hi, If I create a mission with an aircraft flagged "late activation", and use Tacview to record the mission, the flagged aircraft does not appear in Tacview until it's activated, which is the expected behavior. But if I create a mission with a ship flagged "late activation", the ship appears immediately. This implies different behavior from the DCS exporter in the case of an aircraft vs a ship. It would be consistent and logical if in all cases the DCS exporter did not export any "late activation"-flagged object until it was activated. We (Tacview dev) do not have access to the late activation flag to be able apply a filter on our end. I am attaching mission files and corresponding Tacview recordings of the two cases. Thank you Tacview-20201106-143016-DCS-One late-activation aircraft plus one regular aircraft.acmi.txt Tacview-20201106-143145-DCS-One late-activation ship plus one regular aircraft.acmi.txt One late-activation ship plus one regular aircraft.miz One late-activation aircraft plus one regular aircraft.miz

Hi, Tacview flight recordings have a .acmi file extension. When I try to upload an Tacview flight recording I get the error message "Upload failed. You are not allowed to upload files with the extension acmi." I request that attachments with that file extension be allowed. I am attaching an example of a small .acmi file which I changed to a .txt file to allow it to be uploaded. Thanks :-) Tacview-20201106-123001-DCS-F-14B_IA_Channel_Free_Flight.acmi.txt

Hi, I tried this out myself and I see that ships flagged "late activation" are visible from the beginning while aircraft are not. I believe that this means that DCS World is erroneously exporting ships flagged "late activation". As a general rule, anything exported will appear in Tacview. We do not have access to the "late activation" flag to be able to filter this out ourselves.

Hi, In your file %USERPROFILE%\Saved Games\DCS\Scripts\Export.lua, do you see the following line: local Tacviewlfs=require('lfs');dofile(Tacviewlfs.writedir()..'Scripts/TacviewGameExport.lua') If it's not there can you try adding it. If this doesn't help can you please share your Tacview log - found at %TEMP%/Tacview.log Sounds like you are currently in the 21-day demo period which is why you are able to use the Strategic View even though you only have Tacview Standard. If you scroll in far enough the message "This Strategic View is available in Tacview Advanced" will go away.

Hi Glow, this is planned for Tacview 2.0

If you are using Tacview 1.8.4, if you connect Tacview to the DCS World server, no password is required and no delay applies. Only when connecting Tacview to a client of the server will the password be required and the delay will be applied. With Tacview 1.8.5, a password will be required at all times, in order to avoid this confusion.

Hi, Each license is "per workstation" or "per user" so if you are the only user of the license you may use it on multiple PC's.

Hi Glow, as a workaround can you try downloading this Polish language localization file and placing it in %APPDATA%\Tacview\Data\Xml\ ? Then re-launch Tacview. https://www.amazon.ca/clouddrive/share/QQ8nfFo6I786A8TipBr0Q8lPkYSo3wtlMpF51qJ8dQG

Hi Glow, Do you have any Polish localization files installed in %PROGRAMDATA%\Tacview\Data\Xml\ , %PROGRAMFILES(x86)%\Tacview\Data\Xml\ , or %APPDATA%\Tacview\Data\Xml\ ? If so please delete those files and re-launch Tacview. Tacview has all the most up to date localization files included, and these are overwritten by any matching localization files in the previously mentioned locations. If this doesn't help can you please share your Tacview log found at %TEMP%\Tacview.log

Hi, In your Export.lua file at Saved Games/DCS/Scripts, do you see the following line: local Tacviewlfs=require('lfs');dofile(Tacviewlfs.writedir()..'Scripts/TacviewGameExport.lua') If it's not there please add it. If that doesn't help can you please share your dcs.log file (found at Saved Games/DCS/Logs)

I tested out the Polish language on my machine and it seems to be working. Make sure after switching languages that you close and re-launch Tacview. Can you send a screenshot? There is no functionality to edit the name of a bookmark but here's a workaround: Pause the playback Open the flight log Double-click on a bookmark (bringing the paused playback to the bookmarked location) Insert a new bookmark with the desired name (using the Star Icon on the bottom of the screen) Delete the old bookmark
