Tacview – Understand what happened during your last flight! (alternative ACMI viewer)
-
I should have stated that the file I was trying to export was a complete Acmi from a campaign flight. I wondered if it failed because of the size of the file. Glad you found the problem
-
Can you share me your VHS file so I can test it? I like to test huge flight recordings so I can check if everything is properly supported and also what I should optimize in Tacview.

After 21 days, the advanced features will be disabled.
However you will still be able to use the rest of Tacview as usual for free.

Hi Vyrtuoz!
Any news on a Pro version update?
Christmas time soon, you know…Cheers!
-
I was struggling with DCS 1.1.1 last month.
Now I’m returning to the main work: In Tacview 1.2, the home and pro edition will offer the advanced telemetry. This means that you will be able to see radar locks, IAS, gear, flaps and all other telemetry data available in your favorite flight simulator.
The release is planned for early 2012.

Any way to convert tacview files back to vhs to see them via falcon’s ACMI?
-
Sorry, actually there is no way to convert back Tacview files into VHS files.
To do this, I would have to write an exporter which fully complies with Falcon 4 format (which is not as easy as it seems). For now, I prefer to concentrate my energy on new tools and general improvements.

Hi do you guys know if there is going to be a better 3D graphical version with a printable report, I have chosen to wait until they release something more modern and learn how to use it, that’s all.
I have seen the current one in action but hoping for some improvements.
Might have to wait longer, point is anybody know if they are making something better let me know PM if needed.
Thanks

Tacview is VERY close (better) to the RL ACMI tool used at (Maple Flag and Red Flag)
MUCH better (MUCH more powerful) than BMS’s ACMI player!
-
I would even say that TACVIEW could be used IRL, and (maybe) will be one day used with GPS tracker! … I’m gonna to try it on a tactical mission with TAT and fighters… and I’m gonna to introduce it to the A400M MEST (Multinational Entry In Service Team)
But don’t have the full version at this time … will show them the public one.

Take a look to professional tools …. not as good as TACVIEW!

Don’t tell me that TACVIEW doesn’t look more modern!!!

looks but ain’t effective. I can create hundreds of modern apps… but if their outcome is zero? modernism doesn’t help u to learn from mistakes or what your opponent does better than u. Sorry to repeat my self but Tacview is just fancy. In such a multi 3d environment and with such objectives what u want is the whole picture and locate - spot the key difference that made the win or loose factor. TacView can’t do that. It has a zoom out limitation that to have the whole picture u have to run the same flight 3 - 4 times and complete the puzzle in your head… If I have to do it in my head no need for modernism.
Have a flight of 3 packages against 2 Cap and naval units and AA u just can’t follow what factor judged the outcome.
If u want to focus to just one flight yeap it’s great… but in a war the environment is way more complicated not to mention the mess in the list… lol u need more than half an hour to locate something interesting.
Unfortunately I don’t have an ACMI and it’s tacview file to create a video for comparison. Today we will fly a mission I hope ACMI rec will not fail as my last time and make the comparison vid. What I have are some tacview files where in the merge u see ships appear and disappear…LOL like they are ghost when they just maneuver. U can’t have at the same time the attackers package and the Caps whole maneuvers… Hell and it’s payware in full version???Maybe the payware version doesn’t have this limitation. I don’t have it I judge from the freeware version. I don’t want to misjudge all the way the payware version.

Did you tried the free view option ?
EDIT: I do not understand you!? … zoom out is quite huge! (?)

Me too. Professional version provides such an optinos where you can find the key factors. And the development of TV has not been finished.

Yes but watch as u zoom out labels and planes go off… so u loose the info.

I cannot reproduce the posted issue.

If you have requests and observations send to the creator… I have done it, and it had positive result.

I am taking all suggestions into account. For example, I have already planned to work on the strategic view in Tacview 1.3. You will be able to zoom-out up to the whole earth and see NATO symbols without any cluttering issues.
Feel free to send me any additional suggestions I’ll do my best to integrate them in coming releases.
Note: about the boats or other objects which are disappearing, this is a limitation of Falcon 4 which only records objects which are close to the main aircraft.
-
I was not talking about ground and sea units only, aircrafts are disappearing also. Also a suggestion please some team grouping on the timeline on the left. And + - for units grouping. As flightmember 2 fired 4 missiles 4 bombs and 100 bullets. No need to see them all flat out. Also selection or distiction of on target weapons and missed ones. Good for group statistics also.
Thanx for your kindness of having and a free version, hope next ones are all free or bms acmi beat u… lol
