CptSnafu Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 (edited) Hi, for those of you using Orbx's Volanta flight tracking in DCS, you might have recognized that after installing the Mod/plugin the Tacview export isn't working anymore. I found a quick fix for this until Orbx will hopefully delivery an official one. By changing the lua file manually you're able to use Volanta and Tacview. Open the Export.lua file located in User\Saved Games\DCS\Scripts\ Search for the Volanta app line and replace it with the following: dofile(Tacviewlfs.writedir().."Scripts/DCS_Volanta.lua") Finally make sure that the tacview export lines are above the Volanta line and save it. Volanta states in the app that the DCS plugin isn't installed. Just ignore this message and start your flight, flight tracking should be working. So long, Snafu Edited February 13, 2021 by CptSnafu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glow Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 Hi. Would you past a Volanta line here please. I have nothing in from Vola in my export.lua, probably that's why it can't see DCS at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nealius Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 Can we get the Volanta line in export.lua? The software will not recognize Open Beta installations or installations not in Saved Games, and must be configured manually, but there is no documentation on manual configuration.

Nirvi Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 dofile(lfs.writedir() .. "Scripts/DCS_Volanta.lua") Serious uglies Discord 4YA - Project Overlord WW2 Server My DCS Videos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glow Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 I think it will work only with non-Steam version. I couldn't start Volanta with Steam version, not sure why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nealius Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 I have dofile(lfs.writedir() .. "Scripts/DCS_Volanta.lua") entered after the tacview entry in my export.lua, but Volanta still does not detect DCS. It does not give a warning message that DCS plugin is not installed. It simply doesn't recognize the existence of DCS at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heli Shed Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 I think volanta is dead with DCS World? Come pay us a visit on YouTube - search for HELI SHED Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sprool Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 (edited) It cant be dead as my friend is usuing it, i cant get volanta to recognise dcs at all though. I have no volanta entry in my export lua file. Is thee a volanta plugin i need for dcs, or alternatively a dcs plugin for volanta? Volanta shows a msfs plugin in the user settings > simulators screen but nothing for dcs Edited April 25, 2023 by Sprool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sprool Posted April 26, 2023 Share Posted April 26, 2023 Solved for me - dcs_volanta.lua file had never installed, nor the corersponding entry in the export.lua file. Now both in place Volanta connects perfectly in sp or mp, im running Openbeta_MT 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
