How to record Trks. on a Multiplayer server and edit them?

[Razgriz_37]

Hello Eagle Dynamics Community,

 

 

I wish to learn how to record and edit trks. on a multiplayer server. Record meaning using the in-game recording feature and how to activate it. (Not Fraps or bandit cam, etc...) And I would go about editing the track in game using the reply feature in the sim. I only have a brief understanding of how the recording of Trks. work in the sim, however I am not familiar with the sim featuring .avi files being recorded and saved and edited on the sim, and I would like to know how to do that.

 

Thank you in advanced!

Tracks are saved automatically, you don't need to activate anything for that.

You'll usually find your tracks in Multiplayer folder under

users/your username/saved games/DCS/tracks

 

If you want to edit a track, say it's been locked by the hosting server and you'd want to enable external views, labels, map view..etc, you'd need to change its extension from .trk to .miz then fire up DCS and open it in Mission Editor, go to options and change settings as needed, then save it, go back and change extension back to .trk; it should now play with updated settings.

 

Hope this helps.

Thanks Flankerator!

 

Another question regarding the switch of extensions. Will this allow me to see other multiplayer aircraft in the server on the saved .trk? I've ran into that problem without switching the extension and I was wondering would that changing the extension will allow me to see other multiplayer aircraft flying in the server and not AI.

Yes, switch extension to Miz, open in mission editor, go to settings, enable externals views, save and exit, switch extension back to 'trk'.

Now when watching, you should cycle through all air units using F2 and ground units using F7.
