[NO BUG]Not creating tracks

[Kula66]

Lastest OB. Play an SP mission and no track gets created in the tracks directory. I've tried a repair. A LastSomthing.trk file is created in the Windows Temp directory. An MP track got created ok. Tried adding an autoexec.cfg file disable_write_track = true ... no difference. Any ideas?

Thanks

please add your dcs log it may show us some clues.

 

I have been recording tracks with no problems.

 

Thanks

Other possible factors:

* I always fly in VR

* DCS is in c:\Games which maybe unusual

* I always get a 'no debrief error' (I fly the Tomkitty)

* I tried deleting my new Saved games folder ... didn't help

* Tried flying with the F-15 and same thing ... LastMissionTrack.trk created in the System's temp directory, inside a DCS.openbeta folder, along with a load of txt & bin files

* Repair doesn't find any issues

* Same with stock instant action mission

* Tacviews record ok

* MP record ok and stored in tracks/multplayer

Hi

 

Nor seeing any thing obvious.

 

All user files should be saved here

 

C:\Users\j2\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta

 

have you tried a cleanup and repair ( or verify for steam users )

[Kula66]

Yes, a couple of a couple of times ... :(

My TEMP environment variable is set to /Temp/SysTemp and DCS creates files in there. Works fine in MP, files get created in Saved Games!

Dumb question perhaps but... Are you saving the track? SP tracks must be saved manually. Only MP is automatic.

 

When you exit the mission, you should see a few buttons. One is for viewing the track. Another is for saving. A third is to refly the mission.

Thats a very good question Ironhand! No, but I'm fairly sure that's not sometihng I've had to do in the past.

:) It’s always something that you’ve had to do in SP. LastMissionTrack.trk is the file the sim uses to create the SP saved track. You click “Save Track” and give LastMissionTrack.trk a new name and place it where you want it.

Thanks Ironhand ... I'll put that down to user error!.
