Tracks corrupted

[BiBa]

I had a few Tracks saved for tough missions worth showing to guests, who want to have a VR experience inside a cockpit.

 

Recently after the last update, replaying the tracks, my plane started to act irrationally, not the way the original flight took place or sometimes just crashing or shooting at the wrong place!

 

Today I saved a new track, and when replayed, the same bugs showed again. I program my own missions, and tracks are an important asset for an analysis.

 

Also, this kind of VR first experience knocks the new spectator out of his seat, the best kind of advertising to win new DCS customers. The problem is how to show you what is going wrong as long as there is no Video recording of the original flight for comparison, therefore attaching a solo Track wouldn't do any help...

 

Any idea?

 

PS. There is no category for Track bugs, so I chose this one.

TRK files contain the information to recreate the flight rather than simply playback of the flight. That being the case, any change made by an update to either the aircraft or flight environment used by the TRK file will cause it to play back incorrectly.

 

In your case, since TRK files made using the update are also broken, I suspect that a change to the aircraft you’re flying has also broken the ability of the sim to record the track properly. So if they used to record correctly with that aircraft and now do not, you might want to post a bug report in that aircraft’s area.

I reckon we are here in the "bug and Report" area. After the last update, I had this Track problem with the FW-190 Dora, so if it is not a general game performance, the admin should know by now where to move and relocate this thread.

That goes on since L.O. series...
