TACVIEW issue, help needed

[HotelAlpha]

Hi folks!

 

There doesn't seem to be a recent tacview thread, so I dare to start a new one.

 

INITIAL SITUATION: DCS:A10C beta4, Win7-64bit, no DCS-BS installed.

 

ISSUE: Terrain is misaligned. See screenshot, the tanks should be near the runway, not in the ocean.

 

USUAL EXPLANATION: Real terrain used instead DCS terrain. Reason seems to be some misalignment of the DCS terrain to the real world.

 

USUALLY SUGGESTED SOLUTION: In tacview simply change terrain from "Real Terrain" to "Lock-On / DCS".

 

So far, so good. Here starts my

 

PROBLEM: Changing from "Real Terrain" to "Lock-On / DCS" doesn't do anything beyond the terrain graphis redrawn in the exactly same way.

 

MY THEORY: Tacview doesn't have the "Lock-On / DCS" terrain, because it doesn't know that it's installed on my computer. HINT: in the tacview menu with the world icon, there's no "Record [DCS:A10C] flights" entry.

 

 

Unfortunately, the link on the tacview homepage explaining the DCS:A10C installation is dead.

 

I understand that sub meter accuracy is not in the scope of tacview, but I am sure it can do better than what I get.

 

So, has anybody of you managed to get it to work properly and can comment on it? Anybody has a "Record [DCS:A10C] flights" entry?

AFAIK.. there is no Tacview ver compatible for DCS-A10C... :huh:

Any WIP on that.

It would be nice cause it's a good tool.

It works very well, only this little terrain deviation is annoying me. After all, correct positioning of all those hills and valleys is imporant for a groundpounder.

 

Could someone with DSC:Blackshark installed please try if changing the terrain source works?

Until there is a new terrain outlay made for Tacview for A-10C, I doubt you can correct this. I bet though Tacview will be updated eventually.
