goon2503 Posted February 9, 2014 Posted February 9, 2014 I have read through various forums trying to fix my problem but nothing has worked. I have TacView 1.2.4 as well as DCS World 1.2.7 in Steam installed and after clicking the “Record [DCS World] Flights”, I am asked to point to the DCS World install, which I do and the program seems happy. But, there is no recording icon in the lower right and the “Record [DCS World] Flights” is not checked. Every time I select it, nothing happens. It doesn’t ask for the DCS World folder again, just doesn’t check. I have verified that the export.lua and TacviewExportDCS.lua are in the D:\users\<my name>\saved games\DCS\Scripts folder and look correct (that is, the export.lua has the appropriate line in it). The network.cfg also shows the correct line (allow_object_export=true). I have uninstalled TacView several times, including deleting all references to it in the registry and deleting all appdata or other folders and scripts. After a clean install, it again asks me for the location of the DCS World folder the first time I try to record but then doesn't check itself and doesn't show the icon. I have run both the 64 and 32 bit versions and both as Administrator as well. No difference. Here are my relevant folders (none should have rights issues, I verified access): DCS World: D:\Steam\steamapps\common\DCSWorld Script Folders: D:\Users\<my name>\Saved Games\DCS\Scripts TacView: D:\Games\Tacview ACMI Save Folder: D:\Games\Tacview\Flights OS: Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit System Drive: C:\ User Drive: D:\ There is nothing in the Windows event log.

I'm in the same boat as you. Installed it and made sure the scripts were correct after pointing it to the right folder and it still won't work. I also have the steam version of the game and have to wonder if thats the problem. 5800X3d, 32GB DDR4@3400, 6800 xt, Reverb G2, Gunfighter/TMWH
goon2503 Posted February 16, 2014 Author Posted February 16, 2014 Well, I just wiped my system and re-installed Windows 7 64 (not because of this), so we'll see what a clean install does for me. I did have DCS World installed outside of Steam (the old way) prior to downloading and installing the Steam version a few months ago. Perhaps all the various user folders and program folders got mixed somehow.
Iberian Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 In most cases it does still record, for example, if you host the mission it'll record fine. However, most servers now are preventing such programs from being able to record their sessions so players don't cheat by using it at the same time they're flying to find out where others are flyig...

goon2503 Posted February 18, 2014 Author Posted February 18, 2014 I'm not sure if you are commenting on my case, but it definitely does not record (no files generated anywhere [did a search for acmi as well as looked in the proper folders]). Also I'm doing this offline, not in multiplayer. The author of the software replied to my support email saying he would check it out and let me know when he has a fix if there is a problem so I'll wait and see.
hydrocyfolumpus Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 I had the same problem. Try create "Temp" folder in your DCS World installation directory. In your case: D:\Steam\steamapps\common\DCSWorld\Temp
goon2503 Posted February 22, 2014 Author Posted February 22, 2014 @hydrocyfolumpus Thanks! After re-installing Windows, I no longer had the icon not showing that it was recording problem, but I still didn't get any ACMI files after flying, despite setting the target folder. However, once I added that Temp folder I now have ACMI files there (annoying that it doesn't care where I tell it to put them, but I can live with that). Thanks again!
59th_LeFty Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 Can we get his thing work on openbeta non-steam release? The only problem i found is that it installs the TacviewExportDCS.lua file at c:\Users\myuser\Saved Games\DCS\Scripts\ folder instead of \DCS.openbeta\Scripts\ [sIGPIC]http://www.forum.lockon.ru/signaturepics/sigpic5279_1.gif[/sIGPIC] I could shot down a Kitchen :smartass:
HiJack Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 Move them to folder C:\Users\<user name>\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Scripts
RAFPROT Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 I have the same problem on my DCS. My ACMI folder has no files even my Tacview check on. I have tried all three step of Export Script Manual Installation for DCS World 1.2.3(in Vyrtuoz's lair). My installation data follows DCS World: C\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World Script Folders: D\User\Saved Games\DCS\Scripts Tacview: C\Program Files\Stra Software\Tacview 1.2.4 TacviewACMI: D\User\Documents\Tacview OS Win Ultimate 64bit System C drive Data D drive
RAFPROT Posted March 30, 2014 Posted March 30, 2014 If you mentioned D\Users\Saved game\DCS\Scripts\Export.lua , that has been enabled already. local Tacviewlfs=require('lfs');dofile(Tacviewlfs.writedir()..'Scripts/TacviewExportDCS.lua') Any way, thank you for your reply:)
