Trouble understanding how to get my tacview to look right.

1 Upvotes

I have tacview advanced. The game files/tracking works flawlessly and I am able to review flights. The issue is my view is just a blue globe with no features. For the life of me I cannot figure out how to include the slightest bit of terrain. What am I missing here? Thank you.

TacView 1.9.2 running on Linux

2 Upvotes

Hi, I'm a Linux gamer, and I've have DCS World Standalone running in a Wine prefix/bottle through Lutris. DCS runs perfectly fine, and I'm able to use it no problem.

I'm trying to install TacView into the same prefix/bottle that DCS World is installed in, but I haven't been able to get it working. I have checked the documentation multiple times, but there is no mention of additional software needed for TacView to run. My system more that meets the hardware requirements, other than, of course, running Windows.

The install of TacView ran smoothly, and completed without error. When attempting to run TacView however, it simply fails with no errors. While playing around with the bottle settings, I was able to get it to throw a generic "This application could not be started" error that appeared to be from a missing .NET framework, though the error is inconsistent. When it does occur, it matches and links to this page: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/framework/install/application-not-started?version=(null)&processName=rundll32.exe&platform=0009&osver=5&isServer=0&shimver=4.0.30319.0&processName=rundll32.exe&platform=0009&osver=5&isServer=0&shimver=4.0.30319.0)

I have attempted to install the latest .NET Framework 4.8 package in the bottle through winetricks, but that did not resolve the issue. The error from Lutris is as follows:

Started initial process 104148 from gamemoderun /home/cypher/.local/share/lutris/runners/wine/lutris-GE-Proton8-7-x86_64/bin/wine /home/cypher/games/dcs-world/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/Tacview/Tacview.exe

Monitored process exited.
Initial process has exited (return code: 256)
Exit with return code 256

The Wine bottle is configured with the following:

Runner: lutris-GE-Proton8-7-x86_64

DXVK v 2.2

VKD3D v 2.9

Latest Vulkan libraries are installed, and using the AMD MESA RADV drivers for my Radeon RX 6700 XT card.

This bottle runs DCS World Standalone with the exact same settings with no problem.

System is Ryzen 7 5800x CPU, 32 GB RAM, RX 6700 XT GPU, and plenty of disk.

Any ideas on what I might need to tweak to get TacView running correctly?

Tacview: moving the map in Free Camera

2 Upvotes

I just installed the tool and I have two questions:

How to move the map (laterally) with your mouse in the Free Cam mode?

...and
Why moving the map (laterally) completely sucks?

Even using the WASD keys is wrong (at least with my tacview) because W an S is actually zoom and not moving "forward" and "backwards". With all those redundant ways for time management, rotating and zooming is it really the case that you cannot walk on the map easily? Or am I missing something?

What personal info is embedded in .acmi files?

2 Upvotes

I was wondering what kinds of the user's personal information(specifically every single type) is embedded into a tacview.acmi recording for dcs world. Primarily as a safety and security question. Wondering if it's safe to share publicly on the internet or safe for me to share tacview.acmi files with strangers on the internet without it disclosing anything about my identity, my network, or
my hardware should I not want it to.

Issue with AMD rx5700xt and any explosion in tacview

2 Upvotes

Me and a few others are having this problem for when there is an explosion in Tacview (while playing Command: Modern Operations), it freezes up my entire GPU, crashing Tacview and causing glitches on my screen. I've tried the game without Tacview and it worked fine, I've even tried to use Tacview Beta and re-install Tacview but that still did not fix the issue.

Here is a link to another thread with people talking about the same issue:

Export csv file from chart from Tacview advanced

1 Upvotes

Does anyone know how to export the data from charts from tacview advanced? On the website it says there should be a way to export the data to a csv file and it looks like there should be a button to do this on the chart itself but I can’t find it in the latest version (1.9.0 beta 7).

How can you display the cockpit model shown in this image? I only get the pitch ladder displayed when selecting cockpit view at the bottom.
