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

Make sure that You are in External View (F6) You have clicked on the 2-airplane button to activate it so that the aircraft are showing red and blue In the drop-down menu of the 2-aircraft button, Centered is chosed Both aircraft are selected, one as primary object and one as secondary object Then a green line will appear and the middle of the green line will be centered as you move around, as demonstrated it this screenshot:

Calculated values can't be accessed in an add-on unless there is a helper function that has been added to the SDK, like for example Tacview.Telemetry.GetTurnRate( objectHandle , absoluteTime ) There is no helper function for Relative Bearing currently. It is possible to calculate it (and any other calculated value) manually with the existing functions in the SDK. It is also possible to calculate relative rate of closure as you described above, using the SDK. I will add the following items to our to-do list: Add option to display "relative rate of closure" Add to the SDK a helper function to get relative bearing. But it might take us a while to implement that, so if you are in a rush you may want to work with the SDK :)

In a flight in DCS with an F-14, you can see the AOA units for the local aircraft in the Raw Telemetry window. Open a Raw Telemetry window by going to Analysis -> Raw Telemetry 1 Also we created an add-on "AOA Indicator" for F-14's which displays the cockpit AOA indicator for the local aircraft. Enable it by going to Add-ons -> Enable/Disable Add-Ons -> Display AOA in Units 1.8.0 then activate it by going to Add-ons -> AOA Indicator -> Display AOA in Units See screenshot attached:

Try "Dogfight Mode", the button with the icon of two aircraft between the between the selected objects drop-down menus. See attachment:

We haven't heard any reports of Tacview slowing down busy servers. If it is happening please let us know! However, Tacview can slow down the client's computer by up to 10% on very busy missions so some people are disabling the export on their computer while playing online to save precious FPS. In that case the server (with some change of options) can take care of recording the client's .acmi file.

Here is a video explaining how to obtain terrain images for Tacview: But the maps might not match up to DCS with enough accuracy to determine if you hit a bridge.

Hi, Open %USERPROFILE%\Saved Games\DCS_DEDICATED_SERVER\Config\Options.lua and set tacviewCompressionLevel=0

We are working on a Fuel Consumption Add-on and a Turn-Rate Add-on right now, we plan on completing the LSO Add-on after that!

Yes please make sure that those three options are set to YES on the server - this could definitely be the problem!

Whenever you leave and re-join the mission you can expect a new .acmi file to be generated on your end. The host can expect to have the whole recording by default. If the issue recurs in a flight where you have not left and re-joined the mission please let me know and send your log. In your log the longest .acmi file I found was 9 minutes: Tacview-20200913-144807-DCS-F-18C_Training (1).zip.acmi (pay special attention to the stamp 144807 which will distinguish this file from the other files)

In this log file of about 1.5 hours, 16 different .acmi files were generated, some as short as 1 minute. Were you having technical difficulties with the mission? Leaving and re-joining repeatedly?

Okay we will add the event position to flight log in a future update :thumbup:

Can you share your dcs.log file with me?

Good info! Actually this is our first confirmation that IPv6 works with Tacview. Thanks!

Interesting! If the Flight Log included the position of the event, would that help you to avoid using the .acmi file entirely? If not, what else from the .acmi file would need to be included in the Flight Log so that you could use the Flight Log exclusively?

Hi Darlakan, The ID's do not correspond to each other since the .acmi file ID's are recyclable and the Flight Log ID's aren't. There is no easy way to match the ID's. Can you tell me more about your project? Maybe I can help further.

Hi Sordsman, in Saved Games\DCS.openbeta_server\Config\options.lua set tacviewRecordClientsSessionsEnabled to true.
