I just did a very quick test, simple mission - F-16 flying toward a runway PLAYER controlled, after exiting and clicking on WATCH TRACK the track played failed with the usual error message, for clarity, this problem is new and seems to have started around the time of the new SAVE 'feature' I have to admit to being really disappointed... LastMissionTrack.trk Track fail May 22 Caucasus PLAYER F16.trk dcs.log debrief.log

A BIG thank you!

I haven't used the DTC yet as it is only concerned (at this time) with countermeasures and yet I cannot view ANY saved track that I have flown i.e. as PLAYER, I am aware that we all have our little axes to grind but for me, as mentioned before, not being able to view and edit a track for use as YT content, renders DCS, for me, of little practical use.. I sincerely hope this problem is rectified in the next update. Thank you.

I just downloaded the Hornet on trial - same problem, .trk file fail when flown by PLAYER

In the spirit of due diligence I repeated the exercise above but on the Caucasus map and with FC aircraft in case there were other variables. RESULT: Track files play normally with PLAYER flying IN FC AIRCRAFT. I do not own any other FF aircraft so I cannot test but perhaps this will aid the devs in finding the solution.

Unfortunately that's the problem! I'll attach the 2 tracks and the .miz file - as I said, I flew it AI then PLAYER (As I have mentioned before, this problem has ONLY manifested itself (for me) since CWG or perhaps the combination of the new 'SAVE GAME' & DTC updates. Also I have made approximately 500 DCS videos using the .trk file method without these issues. Thank you for your input Track fail May 10 PLAYER.trk Track fail May 10.trk Track fail test May 10.miz dcs.log debrief.log

For clarity, this new track replay problem only seems to affect a track where the aircraft is set to PLAYER, I have run a very short mission twice, once as PLAYER and once as AI, as PLAYER the track replay fails, as AI it plays as expected.

In order that we do not lose 'track' of the recent track replay problem... For me, since the GCW or perhaps the combination of the new 'SAVE GAME' & DTC updates, I can no longer view any saved track after exiting a mission regardless of length or map used and I am referring to SP mission tracks. Any updates to when this crippling issue will be resolved would be gratefully received. Thanks.

Hi! @Lee1 I would be interested to know what you did as I have NEVER been able to map either of the mini-sticks on my X56 in DCS - they work as intended in MSFS

Financially, given enormous gulf in potential remuneration for any given product with regard to the 2 companies, it might not be sufficiently' rewarding' for AzurPoly...

I also did a quick repair but the problem remains.

Tracks don't come much shorter than this Single player problem...

I have now put this post in the F-16 forum as it is the ONLY aircraft I fly and I do not know if the problem is present with other aircraft. Since the GCW update any mission where PLAYER controls the aircraft causes a track load failure. For me, as a content creator, this essentially means DCS has become redundant. Any advice / help would be gratefully received. @BIGNEWY @NineLine @Flappie dcs.log debrief.log Track fail Caucasus.trk

Update - I ran a mission with default views.lua, saved the track, went to view track adn the same errors as above. This problem has ONLY emerged since the GCW update, anyone know what is gong on? @BIGNEWY ? @Flappie dcs.log debrief.log Track fails.trk

For me it seems to be linked to modifying the views.lua file in F:\DCS World\Mods\aircraft\F-16C\ I modified this file last year to enable in cockpit FOV of the pilot and have never had any problem before the GCW update, if I replace this file with the default the track file problem seems to disappear. I keep using the word 'seems' because of the unknown variables in this complex problem. Has anyone else with this problem modified the views.lua file?

After trying various scenarios and settings I have discovered the cause of my problem. I had changed some of the values in this file: F:\DCS World\Mods\aircraft\F-16C\Views.lua In order to be able to see the pilot, view the cockpit from over the pilot's shoulder, generally change the POV for cinematic purposes. This may only apply to the F-16 but whatever the case it is detrimental to the cinematic videos I make and has ONLY been a problem since the penultimate update the included the GCW map. I realise this is a low priority but is there any chance of a workaround?

I agree, however the question of optional liveries is a fully padded out forum topic already...

@silverdevil Have you experienced this before?

@BIGNEWY @NineLine Is this a known / common occurrence?

As in the title. I have never experienced this before - It was a test mission on the CWG map. Track included. CWG test.trk

The aircraft in question is already available in that civilian FS.

Late to the party, looks like a great addition, unfortunately I get an error when it tried to load the log file, file attached. Afghan 1.log debrief.log

Files attached as requested. Running the mission on your own rig will probably yield the same results. Torpedoes pass through ships.miz Torpedoes pass through ships.trk dcs.log

Thanks, will do.

This would seem to be the best solution.
