Recording tracks in multiplayer?

[scatter]

Is it possible to record tracks of multiplayer sessions in Black Shark like with LOMAC/FC? After a single player session ends you always get the option to save a track of the session but I don't see this after a multiplayer session.

 

Hopefully there's some way to do it as it was a great feature of LOMAC/FC, allowing us to do an analysis of how everything went and how to improve ourselves. It's also great for getting machinima footage and great screenshots for promotional purposes.

Look in your DCS Temp Folder :)

Is there any way to turn off the track recording in MP and SP?

Hey I tried this and all it gave me was the last SP mission I played rather than the last MP mission I played. I've played MP since the last SP mission, but they don't seem to have recorded.

 

Again, my "LastMissionTrack.trk" is of my last SP mission. Any advice here would be appreciated.

were you hosting ?

 

Multiplayer tracks are currently stored in the \...\Temp folder for clients and \...\Missions folder for hosts.

Here are notes I took down from previous posts .. somewhere ..

 

No, you cannot switch it off, but you can set maximum size and age of tracks and logs that are stored in /temp/ folder.

See /Scripts/net/default.cfg:

 

Code:

-- file size/age limits for Temp/

track_size_limit = 1*1024*1024*1024 -- 1 GByte

track_age_limit = 365*24*60*60 -- 1 Year

log_size_limit = 10*1024*1024 -- 10 MBytes

log_age_limit = 7*24*60*60 -- 7 Days

What happens if you set it to one second for example? Does this turn of the tracking after one second or does it just stop saving the track to the hard drive? I mean does the game still go through the trouble of reading the coordinates of all the units during game play, which might have some impact on performance if turned off?

It will cause tracks and logs from /temp/ folder to be deleted each time you exit Black Shark and nothing more
