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.

Unfortunately most static objects are not exported by DCS World so Tacview cannot display them.

Hi, Please use Flight Log (further down in the same menu) not Event Log. Event log is a work in progress :-)

This is the correct line to add to the Export.lua The Tacview installer adds this line to the end of the existing Export.lua file if the existing Export.lua file is readable. If it's still not working can you please share your dcs.log ?

These objects are not currently appearing in .acmi files at all so they are probably not being exported by DCS World. But we will double check the exporter to see if Tacview is filtering them out inappropriately.

Repairing DCS should have removed the misplaced files which are causing that error message. Can you please share with me your full log? You can send it to support@tacview.net if you prefer.

Thanks for this info - we're going to fix this is a coming update.

35MB is too big unfortunately - a custom .obj should ideally be about 10,000 faces, or just a few hundred KB max. You can try using Blender or a similar software to reduce the size.

If Analysis -> Playback Control Bar is selected and you can't find the playback control bar anywhere, try deleting the windows settings in the Registry Editor here: Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Raia Software Inc.\Tacview (beta)\Local\Windows
