Tacview 1.2 is out!
-
Tacview 1.2 is available, enjoy!
http://www.strasoftware.com/download/tacviewThe following add-ons are also available for Falcon 4 on the download page:
- Aegean Sea Theater (BMS)
- Israel Theater (BMS/OF)
The major improvement in this version is the support for advanced telemetry. This means that all available data is no accurate (like heading and speed). This also means that there is now no limit of what can be imported in Tacview. For instance, in this version you can now see radar locks, gear, IAS, airbrakes, flaps… in the HUD and telemetry boxes. More custom and detailed data will be available in the incoming releases.
In the next major release I’m going to write a new 3D renderer to display a clear view of the battlefield. Amongst other things, you will be able to display NATO icons and see the whole earth at once!
Here are the main improvements of this version:
- ADDED Full support for DCS World
- ADDED Advanced telemetry. This gives accurate speed and heading in DCS/F4, enable the export of any possible data.
- ADDED Radar Locks for F4 and Flaming Cliffs
- ADDED IAS, Thrust, Afterburner, Gear, Flags, Air-brakes in telemetry data (or the HUD) (some information are not available with some simulators)
- ADDED Distance in charts
- ADDED Telemetry between select objects in the 3D view
- ADDED New unit systems (e.g. for WWII airplanes)
- ADDED 64-bit executable to load huge flights (automatically installed)
- IMPROVED Objects types decoding for F4 flights
- IMPROVED Charts curves to be smoother
- IMPROVED Terrain for BMS (now using level of detail #2 instead of #0)
- FIXED Charts data export was not always properly working
- FIXED Charts legends was not always accurate
- FIXED Aircraft orientation (heading) in F4 world

I was thinking about the possibility to have TacView running a live feed from falcon. I mean if i start running the acmi recording then it should be possible to do the live feed.
Now if this live feed was combined with an option to put a center and a range(scan range) on top of a plane or object then TacView could be used as an awacs station or twr.
Just a thought a man can dream.
Cheers -
If somebody has purchased the pro version previously is the proversion available concerning of 1.2 version too?
-
There is a free awacs program by Monster. Since BMS came out it can’t display AI only Human pilots. Now he is On EMF when finished he will update it (I hope so)? .
-
a nice combination would be Tacview and Awacs (Monster)
-
If one of them was open source I believe something like that could be achieved unless Sakis will Rock us hard in the future with his masterpiece…
-
Although, Vyrtuoz work is just enourmous. Thankyou mate.

Yes

@Regulus:
Real time online analysis is a payware feature,supported in professional edition
http://lomac.strasoftware.com/tacview-order-en.phpOk from what i knew it does not support bms only dcs for realtime feed.

CheersYesss!! That would be a great option. Is there any possibility for that feature?
-
In this case AWACS will be very overmodeled.

I have the home version……is the new software something different? IE, shall I uninstall the old one or is the new one an "upgrade " etc What do I get in the new one that I dont have in the payware home version of the old one? Thanks! Been trying to decide wether to go professional…I always like to support people who produce stuff like this, ( which is why I brought the home version ) and I must admit, I have not looked to deeply into what it can do, but my initial impression was the standard Falcon ACMI viewer gave easier to understand and look at feedback of the dogfight.
Have I got this wrong?
Cheers, Mark

I have the pro version and I think that home version does not show the RDR locks and some other advanced telemetry. RDR locks is a must if you want to debrief BVR engaments.
Regarding BMS ACMI vs TACVIEW:
IMHO I think that TACVIEW is way better, faster and more intuitive to use. You also get very nice Ps energy style charts if you want to analize energy state evolution during a dogfight.
Falcon ACMI is just “clumsy” compared to TACVIEW.
If you like to support this kind of software developers i would definitely recommend to go PRO. I promise I get no comission i just like the program very much
@ARTY: WTH means EMF??
-
And pro version have export function. For devs, how wish to make better missile of AC FM this is one of the best option.
-
Many Thanks Vyrtuoz.
Tacview is very useful to us !! -
Hi, I will try and have a good look at features of both later….what I did notice first was that in Falcon ACMI, ( and not in TacView) you can have the turn rate, radius and speed displayed as labels which is very handy to see where you gain and lose advantage. I have not seen how to show the energy charts yet…will delve deeper…
Cheers, Mark

Hi guys, thanks for your support
Here some answers to your questions:
- Your product keys will automatically work with this new version (up to Tacview 1.999)
- This is not a mandatory, but you can uninstall any previous version since this new version is way more powerful
- The home edition will display radar locks and all other advanced telemetry
- Real time analysis has not been developed yet; it will be available mainly for new simulators like DCS which offers pretty good export capabilities. Falcon does not export data in real time (aside the shared memory which contains only the main aircraft cockpit data). The best way to have it with Falcon 4/BMS would be to improve falcon itself to directly export data in real time in a format supported by Tacview.
- The same turn rate & radius data as in Falcon are going to be available in the next release (not enough time to add them in this release)
- For other data like the SPI, I’m going to see what I can do, but if they are not exported in the VHS file I cannot invent them
-
As per rl, it would be extremely useful for the debriefing process to display the radar search cone / coverage area.
Thanks 4 your efforts m8.

……and ECM status…
And also missile status, HOJ, Maddog, etc radar locked, radar cone from missile.
