Hello. Yes I saw that already 🙂

My question was more related to the current release as TacView 2 is not yet available.

Thanks.

Hi, there is no officially supported way of running Tacview 1 on anything other than Windows.

Hi there,

I've noticed that the filename of the mission is not anymore part of the tacview filename.null

Is there a way to get the missionname back in the tacview filename?

Thanks in advance

Hi, I believe the mission name should be there only if you have joined a server. Does that explain it?

Hi,
I usually fly in single player and so far the names have always been part of the file name. But you're right, in multiplayer the names are the same as usual. That's strange.

Okay I will look into it further!

Thank you.
The behavior changed in April (see my screenshot). Maybe with DCS 2.9.15.9408

Hi, we have determined that this is a DCS bug which has been reported. While waiting for them to fix it, we have implemented a workaround so that where the mission title is not available the file name (of the .miz file) will be used. The workaround will be in the next beta. Thanks for reporting.

Hello,

Sorry to bother you but I struggle with the terrain textures as detailed in your documentation.

I tried to add custom textures as explained, but they appear under the default textures, and the default textures don't seem to be accessible in any folder. It seems that we can't remove them, unless by unticking the "custom textures" option, but then we get rid of all the textures, both default and new ones. The only solution is to put them in "Real World", but I wanted to use them on DCS terrain...

Original textures (West) over new textures (East).

Eventually, did you work on integrating geotiff pictures instead of the "tiles" that are fairly difficult to use and generate?

Thank you,

Hi, the DCS default textures can't be removed, but if you place textures at %PROGRAMDATA%\Tacview\Data\Terrain\Textures\DCS World\ they should appear on top of the default textures. Let me know if it works.

Hi, I wonder whether there is a way to generate "events" via DCS LUA scripts, which show up in tacview.
Let's assume my LUA scripts come to a certain decision, such as "raid of blue" starts. Is there any way how I can generate an associated event, which shows up in the tacview flight log? Of course I could create an object, which shows up, but I would appreciate to create a log with a text, which I can define from within a LUA script.

This is a good idea. Hopefully doable.

*I don't speak English, this article was written using translation software, please understand if there is a misunderstanding.*

I wanted to watch the replay while playing the DCS server, but it had a problem with its content logging.
(Not how many minutes of delay is not recorded)
I obviously played for a long time, and what I saw in the file was an abnormal file size.
This issue is complicated and I can't explain it in the article, please download the accompanying logging file.
This may be a problem that arises on my own, I want to know how to fix it, I have tried to remove all community mods, but it is not available.
This file is client-side, and everything is fine with the file in the server.

Hi, I downloaded this file and looked at it and I do not immediately see a problem. Can you please explain further what you are expecting to see vs what you actually see? You can respond to support@tacview.net for a quicker response.

Hi, make sure you have clicked in the 3D view in order to give it focus before using the hotkeys. Hold down shift at the same time to move the camera faster.

Всем привет, не могу подключить программу для телеметрии в реальном времени в одиночной миссии , нет соединения.
Помню помогло вмешательство, в каком то файле dcs нужно было прописать строку, парни знает ли кто решение проблемы ?

------------
Hello everyone, I can't connect the program for real-time telemetry in a single mission, there is no connection.
I remember the intervention helped, in some dcs file I had to write a line, guys, does anyone know the solution to the problem?

1. Включение телеметрии в DCS World

Перед редактированием файлов убедитесь, что в настройках DCS активирован экспорт данных:

  • Откройте DCS World → Настройки (Options) → вкладка "Special".

  • В разделе "Tacview" выберите:

    • "Telemetry" → "Enabled".

    • "Recorded Data" → "Medium" (или "Full" для детальной записи).

    • "Remote Export" → "127.0.0.1:42674" (стандартный порт Tacview).

2. Ручная настройка файла autoexec.cfg

Если Tacview продолжает "ожидать", добавьте параметры вручную:

  1. Перейдите в папку DCS:

    text
     
    Copy
     
    Download 
    C:\Users\ВАШ_ПОЛЬЗОВАТЕЛЬ\Saved Games\DCS...\Config

  2. Откройте (или создайте) файл autoexec.cfg в блокноте.

  3. Вставьте эти строки:

    lua
     
    Copy
     
    Download 
    tacview.enabled = true
tacview.recordData = true
tacview.telemetryHost = "127.0.0.1:42674"
tacview.advancedTelemetry = true

  4. Сохраните файл.

3. Проверка файла options.lua

Иногда настройки сбрасываются. Проверьте:

  1. В той же папке Config найдите options.lua.

  2. Убедитесь, что есть блок:

    lua
     
    Copy
     
    Download 
    ["tacview"] = {
    ["tacviewBookmarkShortcut"] = 0,
    ["tacviewCompressionLevel"] = 1,
    ["tacviewDataRecordingEnabled"] = true,
    ["tacviewRemoteExportEnabled"] = true,
    ["tacviewRemoteExportAddress"] = "127.0.0.1:42674",
},

4. Дополнительные действия

  • Закройте DCS и Tacview перед редактированием файлов.

  • Запустите Tacview от имени администратора.

  • Проверьте брандмауэр Windows: разрешите входящие подключения для Tacview (порт 42674).
