Wile E. Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 I ran through an A-10C II mission I created, from a cold start to landing, quit to the debrief, then saved the track. I later tried to watch that track in the Replay section. It seemed correct at first. It even had the taxi mistake I made (forgetting nose wheel steering). The plane flew in the right direction, turned toward an enemy column, dropped a CBU-105, and missed by a huge margin. However when I played the mission, the bomb hit right on the laser mark and destroyed four T-80s. It then dropped the second CBU-105, which also missed, which didn't happen in the real mission. Then the plane performed some weird maneuvers that ended with a nose-dive into a mountain. Is there something wrong with the tracks and replays? Is there maybe some setting I'm missing? Here are some things that might matter: Single player, on my own PC A-10C II Non steam version (latest version) I played the mission in VR, then quit the game, turned off my headset, and reloaded to watch it in 2D. I used active pause and regular pause when playing. I sped up, slowed down, and paused the playback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razo+r Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 Tracks are unreliable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob10 Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 The search function is your friend. Reliability of tracks has been discussed to death. Short version is it designed more as a debug tool (saving what inputs were made) than a exact replay of what happened in your flight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flappie Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 A user recently reported a workaround, but it may not work for all aircraft . He said he simply restarted DCS before replaying a track. I haven't tested it yet. 1 Don't accept indie game testing requests from friends in Discord. Ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wile E. Posted March 2, 2022 Author Share Posted March 2, 2022 I did restart between the recording and playback, because I wanted to go from VR to 2D. It didn't help. I guess if I want to record sessions to learn from them, I should get some screen recording software. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flappie Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 If you want to learn from your DCS sessions, the best tool around, and by far, is Tacview. There's a free version available. You should give it a try. 1 Don't accept indie game testing requests from friends in Discord. Ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dutchili Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 Incorrect track in 17 march 2022 release of OB. Track shows the Viper (me) backs right before the merge in this head-on dogfight scenario. In reality i banked 'over' the SU-27. You can see me shooting and mark-pointing the crash location, but the SU is doing other stuff that 'never happened'. track not synched.trk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
