Pilot logbook export to a file via Tacview?

[Renato71]

Hi all,

 

I would like to ask if someone with programming skills could answer me if it is possible to export logbook to a file other then default LO logbook? LO logbook has not only a drawback that is stops to record after your death, but I can't filter out aircraft that I flew, and whether aircraft that I've shot down ate AI or human piloted.

 

I got idea that something could be done along the line of Tacview and the way stats are done on HL servers and displayed on their web pages.

 

For instance, on TuAF you get quite detailed stats (which could be filtered even more, but no need to push TorwaK that far). TuAF stats (and other servers, of course, but this is the one I fly most) provide more info then LO logbook, like aircraft flown, weapon used, and other. Also, default sorting of vehicles put MANPADs and such under the same group as trucks and tanks.

 

Can something like that can be created, but to be recorded on my PC? Maybe something like plugin for Tacview? I'm looking into something that would just record the results, actual tacview recording is not necessary. Sometimes it bogs my poor PC down.

 

Other solution like extracting such data from Tacview recording or server stats is welcomed.

 

Another fine additions to such export (pilot logbook manager?) would be:

- an option to import existing LO logbook

- to export total and/or selected data into some xml (?) which could then be used in signature and squadron forums.

Player will upload such file to a squadron forum, and administrator will be able to sort such data to get flying hours for squadron per aircraft, per pilot, units destroyed of certain type, other data as in LO logbook, and such.

 

I know this data is prone to editing/cheating, but I do not care about cheaters. Server stats always provide confirmation of online results. I'm solely interested into keeping up with the progress of my buddies and other squadrons that I trust.

 

If a player belongs to a squadron, and he uses such stats in his/hers signature, those stats in signature could be linked to a squadron forum and the squadron will guarantee the authenticity of such data.

 

I'm also aware that Tacview recording depends on server sided settings, so a solution which does not depend on server is most preferable.

 

Best regards

Renato

Any ideas how to use Tacview to create external pilot loogbok or to create a separate esport script that will enable such exporting?
