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?

 

Hi, please share your DCS log, from Saved Games/DCS/Logs

Running Tacview with multiple DCS server instances on the same user account via different writedirs (DCS_server.exe -w DCS.server1..N) currently results in all Tacview files from all instances being combined into a single folder. Is there a way to have Tacview store the files within the profile/instance/writedir folder, i.e., %USERPROFILE%/Saved Games/DCS.serverN/?

The only configuration option I found so far is the following registry key:

[HKCU\\SOFTWARE\\Raia Software Inc.]
"TacviewExportPath"="C:\\\\DCS_configs\\\\Tacview\\\\"

Being part of HKCU, it results in a combined folder for all instances/writedirs as described above.

What do I need this for? I maintain a project to facilitate running the DCS dedicated server on Linux via Wine. It supports multiple server instances with separate writedirs. After manual installation, Tacview runs well with it and I'd like to streamline the admin experience by separating Tacview files per server instance to provide fine-grained remote file access on a per-instance basis. Setting the directory via environment variables or alternatively a variable in the Tacview scripts or autoexec.cfg would be an option for me. Basically, any way to do this in an automated fashion would suit me.

Also, to facilitate server-side Tacview deployment, I'd like to install the Tacview hook scripts and DLLs automatically. Would you be open to that? It would need a straightforward access to the relevant files, short of downloading the ~1 GB installer exe and extracting the required files from it. Feel free to DM me on this matter to discuss details.

Hi,

Inside each %USERPROFILE%/Saved Games/DCS.serverN/Config/options.lua file find the following option:

		["Tacview"] = {
			...
			["tacviewExportPath"] = "",
			...
		},

Does that work for you?

For your other questions could you please email us at support@tacview.net ?
