Can't get Tacview 1.2.6 to record

Hi Guy,

I am fresh out of ideas. I have been running Tacview 1.2.4 and 1.2.5 without any problems but after upgrading to Tacview 1.2.6 my recordings has stopped.

I am running DCSW 1.2.8.27915 and Tacview 1.2.6.

In my C:\Users\HMA\Saved Games\DCS\Scripts I have following related files:

TacviewExportDCS.lua

Export.lua

The Export.lua does contain following line in the bottom:

local Tacviewlfs=require('lfs');dofile(Tacviewlfs.writedir()..'Scripts/TacviewExportDCS.lua')

In my C:\Users\HMA\Saved Games\DCS\Config I have the network.cfg set to following:

allow_object_export = true,

The Export.lua is running as this is also used to start export to Helios which is working.

Still Tacview doesn't record anything after the upgrade. I am sure it something very simple right in front of me but I just can't see it.

Thanks for the assistance in advance.

Cheers

Hans

Not sure if it's the problem but it should be Tacviewlfs.writedir, looks like there is a space in that word, Tacviewlfs.writed ir, in your Export.lua string.

Thanks txmtb. Must be while copying into the thread. Have just checked. There is no space in Tacviewlfs.writedir inside the Export.lua. You got sharp eyes though :thumbup:

Make sure the 'Record [DCS World] Flights' is enabled on the Tacview menu (globe icon). It seems after my last update it was unchecked.

Sorry, hoped it was going to be a quick fix. :joystick:

Thanks Ajax. It was set for recording and when done so it generates the TacviewExportDCS.lua and make the change to Export.lua as it should. I have also tried to copy an older backup of both the Export.lua and TacviewExportDCS.lua into the C:\Users\HMA\Saved Games\DCS\Scripts but it is the same.

cheers

Hm.. Not sure what was the trouble. Deleted the complete \saved games\DCS folder and rolled on a backup. Now it works after installing Tacview 1.2.6.

Can't figure out why it stopped working after uninstalling 1.2.5 and installing 1.2.6.

Anyway it works now. Thanks for the effort guys :thumbup:

the same problem, the same solution.

thx! ) :thumbup:

Had the same problem for some reason my export lua had remains of TARS in it where i didnt had TARS installed anymore. After removing the few TARS lines in the lua file Tacview started recording again.
