Before I go into detail let me just say I love Tacview and is an invaluable tool especially for the 476th vTraining Squadron...but....

 

I found today that Tacview is causing a HUGE FPS loss. I've got my FPS capped at 60. With Tacview enabled in the export lua I only get approx 20 to 30 FPS, remove the export line and I'm getting 60. A fellow member of the 476th (Joyride) has seen the same behavior.

 

Wow, Snoopy found it.

 

With Tacview default line in export.lua, I get ~32 FPS in pit on Vaziani. With that line removed, ~52 FPS.

 

And...tanker F2 view with default Tacview line in, 64 FPS. With that live removed....drum roll please....165 FPS. Yes, one-hundred-sixty-five.

 

Haven't flown the FLET with that line removed, but I would assume my FPS would be rocking.

 

Anyone else seen behavior like this before? I now have an idea why when flying test versions of DCS World I always have better FPS.

So tried this out tonight for DCSW 1.2.6 and can't get it to record. Install goes smooth, all the right additions etc are done with the .lua and .cfg, but will not record anything and there is no file to open after a flight. The little DCSW symbol was on the bottom right. Did both the auto and manual install to verifiy and tried closing and leaving open the program.

..Saved Games\DCS\Scripts

 

make sure the export.lua contains

 

 
local Tacviewlfs=require('lfs');dofile(Tacviewlfs.writedir()..'Scripts/TacviewExportDCS.lua')

Posted

I did everything mentioned in the post above... but i dont get tacview to run... just an empty .txt file is created with 0kB... multiplayer and singleplayer no difference.

 

i´m running the free version 1.2.4 with dcs 1.2.6

 

please help

If you get the "Tacview-20130911-224151.txt.acmi" file then Tacview is most lightly working but you have not played on a server that exports objects. Try to play some on the 51st server and check again.

As stated in my original post, I did both auto and a manual install. Both of these added and changed the proper areas, but still do not work.

 

Do you just need to select the DCS World option in the recording tab? That's all that showed bottom right.

 

 

Posted

Yes, if DCS World is selected it should show an icon down to the right. I'm out of ideas here but you may check that UAC is disabled on windows and that you run DCS World/Tacview as "Administrator".

Posted

UAC is disabled and installed and run as administrator. I don't know really.. Wish the website reflected the current version etc..too bad.

 

Maybe I'll fart around with it again tonight.

Spetz, I'm not sure if you answered the question about the export objects and the servers allowing export in the network.cfg file.

 

I can't remember but there was an additional line that needed to be added over in the saved games folder- I'll have to dig it up.

"ENO"

Type in anger and you will make the greatest post you will ever regret.

Sorry guys. I did everything that was required according to the website and what has been mentioned here. I'll have a another look at it soon. I have to verify that it's actually being saved to the proper location, maybe that's the issue..hope so

Did you install to the default location in Program Files or did you install to some other location on the C:\ drive? I just bought Tacview this evening, installed to the C:\ drive in a new folder I created, gave it admin rights and tested it on single player 1.2.6 without any problems.

My Tacview wont record any flights even though I've deselected and reselected Record:DCS World Flights in the options.

 

There is a small DCS logo displayed in the right lower corner.

 

Any ideas why it is not recording?
