Tacview – Understand what happened during your last flight! (alternative ACMI viewer)
-
I wonder when we will get an update for 4.34?
-
Is there something that doesn’t work for 4.34? It works mostly fine for us - other than it mistakenly labels things incorrectly (e.g. AIM-120s show up as SU-27s or something like that, I think it’s because of the 4.34 database changes) but everything else works fine for us?
Last week we used the “hosted debrief” option for the first time and it was really good - an excellent way of reviewing our flight, especially as we had separate OCA Strike and SEAD flights in our package.
-
The labeling is what I mean.

Hi Badger,
The database of 4.34 has been updated in 1.8.0 Beta: https://tacview.net/download/beta
I wonder when we will get an update for 4.34?
-
Tacview 1.8.0 is now available to everyone!
Download: http://tacview.net/download
- Release Date: Fri, 6 Sep 2019
- Operating System: Windows 32-bit / 64-bit
- File Size: 293.0 MB
This year, I worked closely with military partners to improve Tacview for real-life playback and debriefing. Most of these improvements are also relevant to flight simulators and are now available to everyone in this brand-new release.
This includes better support for small and big screens, more UI modularity, the possibility to display local time (at last ;)), as well as a new tool to measure distance between the selected object and any other object or even a point on the ground.
I have also been working hard to improve performance, notably the loading speed of custom textures.
Thanks to the help of my partner BuzyBee, numerous airports and maps are now included in Tacview distribution, Tacview database has been greatly extended, and many 3D models have been integrated. This simplifies the installation process by reducing the need to download and manually install add-ons and asset packs for debriefings.
Right now, I am focusing more on Tacview 2.0. So, if you feed a slow down in Tacview 1.x dev, this means that Tacview 2.0 is progressing faster :thumb: I am currently working on the core engine which is starting to run on all platforms from cell phones to computers. This first step takes some time, but it is also important, because this will establish a clean base on top of which the rest will be built. The next step will be to port most of Tacview components to the new engine: internal tools, telemetry recorder, installer. Then I will start rewriting Tacview main application.
Enjoy!

Thanks for the nice program, Vyrtuoz
I asked the same question in another thread. i thought this post is much active.
Is there a way to get a text acmi with higher precision of time (three digits below 0, such as #.###) from a vhs file saved from BMS.
Thanks a lot -
