Tacview – Understand what happened during your last flight! (alternative ACMI viewer)
-
Man, man, man,
The new CTRL+C and CTRL+V function in Tacview is a true piece of brilliant work!!!
Liking it!
Suggestion: Does any future version come with a dedicated listing of all saved bookmarks in the acmi?
Thanks and keep up the good work!
Cheers,
Scub -
Is Online Debriefing working now…
-
I’m glad you like the CTRL+C/V function
I agree the bookmarks are currently hard to spot in a loaded event-log. Don’t worry, this log is going to be completely revamped in Tacview 2.0 to be much more convenient and intuitive.
I’m now working on the online debriefing and will release its first version in Tacview 1.4.

Watching a recently taped MP flight with the last beta of Tacview it seems i found some issues with the HUD-View: HUD reads “AIRBRAKE” but no brakes were applied. During an recorded Takeoff it disappears, looks like it shows the state of the landing gear instead of the Airbrakes.
Also the reading of the thrustlevel seems broken: during the same T/O it shows correctly 103% and Afterburner, but after going back to BUSTER it reads 70% which is IDLE.
-
Can you share me the corresponding VHS file and tell me precisely which aircraft and which time(s) you have noticed the anomalies?
Also, which version of BMS are you using? Did you notice these issues with other flight recordings? Which version of Tacview are you using?
I will look into this as soon as possible.

Sent you the download link via PM. Check the F16 from Fury 11 or Fury 13, right after take off (Fury 11 (me) retracs the gear very late).
We use BMS 4.32U7 with Aegean theatre 1.5. I used the last BETA of TacView from your site. I will check other tapes for this error, standby.
Edit: i just check an older tape from a different theatre. Same thing with AIRBRAKE / GEAR and it seems there is a bigger problem with the thrustlevel: it shows 70% the whole time, except when going GATES it seem to show the right indication …

Thanks for the files Reaper!
This is strange, it looks like a very old bug. I’m surprised none of us has noticed it earlier
Will do my best to fix it in the next beta of Tacview.

I am not able to make work this files ( https://www.benchmarksims.org/forum/showthread.php?20139-Korea-Aeronautical-Information-Publication-%28AIP%29-For-TACVIEW )
The files that draw the ,lines, waypoints, airports……I am using the version 1.4.0 beta 2 profesional
It is the first time that I try to use that option, but I undestand that is as simple as paste the download files in the folder C:\Users\Revientor\Saved Games\Tacview\Data\StaticObjects
Ideas?

Hi there guys,

Every time I open my ACMI file from a training flight over the Balkan theatre, the flight show up over Korea.
I’m using Balkans V3.0.
This is whats enterd in the “Data-Falcon4Theaters.xml”"
<theater id=“Balkans”><simulators>Falcon 4.BMS</simulators>
<path>F:\Falcon BMS 4.32\Data\Add-On Balkans\Terrdata\terrain</path>
<west>11</west>
<east>21</east>
<south>36.625</south>
<north>46.64</north>
<lod>2</lod></theater> "Here is a link to my ACMI file.

Hopefully somebody can help me out.Best regards

Are you files unpacked and installed in the following kind of folders?
C:\Users\Revientor\Saved Games\Tacview\Data\Static Objects\Korea_VFR
C:\Users\Revientor\Saved Games\Tacview\Data\Static Objects\Korea_RK
…It is possible that I have updated my documentation too early (The support of Saved Games folder may be working fine only with the 1.4 beta 3). If this is the case, please try where Tacview is installed, like the following:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Stra Software\Tacview xxx\Data\Static Objects\Korea_VFR
…This is less handy, but it will work with any version of Tacview. You will see the objects as soon as will have loaded a falcon 4 VHS file as long as the terrain is either set to Falcon or auto.

Hi Jorik,
Could you check the question Q12 ?
http://tacview.strasoftware.com/documentation/falcon/I think this is what you are looking for.
The Balkans Theater is enabled by default in Tacview and you don’t need to make any changes to the XML file to see it in the 3D view. Juste make sure you choose the right theater right when opening the VHS file!

Yes I use the user folders, and tested just right now, on the program folder, It didnt work… now I am downloading beta3 and I will test it later
This only works when I drag the file and drop inside Tacview, but I had to edit all files and remove the commentaries because with them Tacview gives a fault… again I will test with the original files in beta 3
-
No, I am not able to make it work… any way…
Can you use it? it is only my problem?
-
I think i found a BUG in the last 1.4BETA3: when merging several files to one tape on every intersection between two tapeparts there is a ghostplane which stays there for the rest of the whole tape.
I also had a Tacview crash when i tried to save the merged ACMI tape to my HD.
-
Was that mp or single flight?
-
Squadron MP session with 15/16 clients in Aegean 1.5 theatre. Have to add ALL aircrafts get a ghost plane hovering at the last position of the former tape, even AI flights like Tanker, AWACS etc.
