DieHard Posted August 9, 2014 Posted August 9, 2014 (Posted this same message in Chit-Chat with no response.) ============= Topic: Using Replay ============= Most of the time, especially when I select a Multiplayer mission I want to replay, the .trk file displays the F10 map of that particular mission and that is all that occurs. What is going on? What's the fix or workaround to get the .trk file to play? -------------------------------OR---------------------- How do I watch a replay of a mission sortie I just played in Multiplayer? I read what little bit of info that exists in the DCSW User Manual and searched the forums without solution to my inquiry. Thanks in advance for any help. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
HiJack Posted August 10, 2014 Posted August 10, 2014 Replays mostly works fine if you don't over stress the taxiing and takeoff procedure. Taxi slow and easy to the correct takeoff possition after contacting the ATC to confirm you are clear to taxi. Taxi to the correct runway! Don't run off the taxiway, don't do circles on the taxiway and such silly things and most off all watch your speed! When you have finished getting shot down or killed someone you land on the correct runway after contacting ATC. When you have taxied to your parking spot you shut down the engines, switch power off and enter spectator. After joining spectator stay there for about 10 seconds at least and then press the exit button. This make mine MP sessions replayable. :thumbup:
HiJack Posted August 10, 2014 Posted August 10, 2014 ... Like contacting ATC is going to help your tracks :megalol: Yes, I said that because some ppl don’t know what runway to take off from and the ATC clearly gives you that information. In fact some ppl don’t even know there is a runway and just takes off from the taxiway. :( I always exits the server after getting killed or have landed and start a new session if I know I'm going to replay the mission. Track tend to get broken (at least for some versions ago) if you just grab a new aircraft and play on. And one more thing, if you get killed by another player or by vehicle then hang in your shoot or just look at the scene for some 10 seconds, I believe that helps replay to. :)
DieHard Posted August 10, 2014 Author Posted August 10, 2014 (edited) In F-86, the current 1st beta, my ATC in MP or SP is not working currently. I usually look which way the smoke is being blown and take-off into the wind or best guess if it is a crosswind. Some MP servers, not just the F-86, the ATC is not working or turned on to give verbal instructions. In P-51 wanted to view what was going on in a Dogs-of-War MP session. Would the F10 map display upon opening Replay when I go through the process of a cold start? Currently the quick-start cheat for the P-51 is not working properly. I always go right to the ramp cockpit on the tarmac first thing. Yeah, I usually play the sim the way you guys have mentioned. I will be extra careful next time out. TacView is not Replay but I get an idea what is going on, of the servers that allow its use. Just updated TacView. Thanks for the response. Edited August 10, 2014 by DieHard [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
