AngryBeaver Posted October 30, 2019 Posted October 30, 2019 Hey, Just wondered if anyone was using tacview? I have it and wanted to know how to get it running with IL2... Cheers
RedKestrel Posted October 30, 2019 Posted October 30, 2019 I don't use it but I know many people do - Requiem uses it in his Dogfight Debriefs videos.. But I believe it is not possible to run it and Il-2 at the same time. I think you can use Tacview to view track files.
Leon_Portier Posted October 30, 2019 Posted October 30, 2019 Yeah, I use it all the time. You need to enable tacview recording in the config tho.

56RAF_Roblex Posted October 30, 2019 Posted October 30, 2019 36 minutes ago, HarleyDavidson said: .How did you do this?..... Oh and thanks guys Open 'Startup.cfg' and add 'tacviewrecord = 1' to the end of the track_record section. [KEY = track_record] fx_sound = 2 record_graphics_effect = 1 record_ground_vehicles = 1 tacviewrecord = 1 [END] 1
Leon_Portier Posted October 30, 2019 Posted October 30, 2019 (edited) @HarleyDavidson I followed a guide for that, essentialy there is a file called startup.cfg in the data directory in the IL2 installation. In there you´ll find a lot of variables, those are the games options including the ones you set in the menues ingame. One of those is called "tacviewrecord" and it will be 0 usually, change the 0 to a 1 and save. Dont forget to make a backup before you do! Edit: then everytime you use the ingame recorder by pressing its button, it will record a tacview file for you too! Edited October 30, 2019 by Leon_Portier 1
Guest deleted@83466 Posted October 31, 2019 Posted October 31, 2019 Its been a while, but I also seem to recall you need to manually download the IL-2 maps from the Tacview website, otherwise it will just show things over generic terrain.

Really? I never knew that was an option.

That's the old version. The current version comes with the maps reinstalled - all but the new Rhine map.
BMA_West Posted November 2, 2019 Posted November 2, 2019 (edited) The create server option from the MP tab-page has a “TacView record” option as have the hosting *.sds files to feed the Dserver. So it's a server MP option. Edited November 2, 2019 by West
