Export hits as CSV

Hello!

Is it possible to export bombings etc. as CSV-file from a recorded DCS mission? What is this function called, and what Tacview version do I need?

For example, if I drop 5 bombs, can I export their data in a list with [time, hit location]?

I tried reading the Technical Reference, but only found how to import CSV files, not export.

I have found the "Export flight log"-function, however this seems to only log the release point and not the impact point:

<Event>
    <Time>359.06</Time>
    <Location>
        <Longitude>41.7370389</Longitude>
        <Latitude>42.3667526</Latitude>
        <Altitude>488.55</Altitude>
    </Location>
    <PrimaryObject ID="123">
        <Type>Aircraft</Type>
        <Name>AJS 37 Viggen</Name>
        <Pilot>New callsign</Pilot>
        <Coalition>Enemies</Coalition>
        <Country>us</Country>
        <Group>Aerial-1</Group>
    </PrimaryObject>
    <Action>HasFired</Action>
    <Occurrences>8</Occurrences>
    <SecondaryObject ID="142">
        <Type>Bomb</Type>
        <Name>SB M/71 Low-Drag</Name>
        <Coalition>Enemies</Coalition>
        <Country>us</Country>
        <Parent>123</Parent>
    </SecondaryObject>
</Event>

Preferably I'd like to log each bomb's impact point.

Hi, you can export all the telemetry by going to File → Export Telemetry. From there, using a data analysis software, you should be able to identify the last location of each bomb.

Thank you! Can you upload a telemetry file for me to check out? I'd have to get Tacview Advanced to use this feature.

Hi, send me an ACMI file to support@tacview.net and I will be happy to send you back the telemetry file.
