gharness84 Posted May 25, 2011 Posted May 25, 2011 Hey all, I just recently found about Tacview and was wondering if there is a way to convert my old .trk files that were saved before I installed this program? Thanks in advance! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] _______Spreading peace. One JDAM at a time. :beer:_______
Frostiken Posted May 25, 2011 Posted May 25, 2011 AFAIK .acmi files are recorded by TACview, not actually converted .trks. You could try replaying the track with TACview set to record DCS: A-10 and it might generate a .ACMI file from the replay... [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

You could try replaying the track with TACview set to record DCS: A-10 and it might generate a .ACMI file from the replay... Just confirmed this. Worked perfectly but I did not use any time acceleration, just let the track play through and saved it as a different name when it was completed. Thanks! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] _______Spreading peace.

Moa Posted May 25, 2011 Posted May 25, 2011 Please note that the replay of a trk used to be imperfect, so TacViews recorded from a trk replay would differ from a TacView recorded 'live' from a game. I think trk playback has been improved recently in a patch (although I have not tested whether it is 'perfect' yet). So, please be aware (and don't be surprised) there may be some difference between a 'live' generated TacView and a track-replay generated TacView.
gharness84 Posted May 25, 2011 Author Posted May 25, 2011 From what I have watched it seemed very close to the actual flight, from take off to landing. I have not had a chance to really get into the intricacies of Tacview, but both the .trk and .acmi replays looked accurate to me. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] _______Spreading peace.

Frostiken Posted May 25, 2011 Posted May 25, 2011 You can find some funny oddities with the game with TACView. At some point, a Tornado in my game made a 28G 90 degree turn :D [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
