The Tacview exporter is a module of DCS World. You can tweak its options from within DCS World in the OPTIONS -> SPECIAL -> Tacview menu.

You can download and install Tacview 1.2.8 which is the last version to support legacy versions of DCS World. Tacview 1.2.8 script will export any available flight data. It is strongly suggested to also install the latest version of Tacview in addition of Tacview 1.2.8. That way, you can analyze the exported data with the latest tools available.

Easily compare digital cinema camera sensor sizes as well as film formats and verify lens coverage.

You can open the ACMI file after to review your flight, or you can use the Real-Time Telemetry feature to view your flight in real-time (a feature of Tacview Advanced).

Features 25-degree beam patterns in the outer two emitters, and 10-degree beam patterns in the center 4 emitters for great distance and field lighting. Operates from the factory high beam switch.

After a flight, open DCS World log file %USERPROFILE%\Saved Games\DCS\Logs\dcs.log. Then look for any error message related to a .lua file. Do not focus exclusively on Export.lua, the faulty script can be in another Lua file. When you find the faulty script, you will have to either fix it, or completely remove the reference to it manually. Explaining how to edit a Lua script is beyond the scope of this guide, feel free to ask on the forums on how to do this. As soon as you'll get a clean log without any Lua error, DCS World should be able to record your flights as expected.

If you have uninstalled older versions of Tacview after having installed a new version, the exporter has probably been removed at the same time. In that case, just re-install the latest version of Tacview. The exporter will be automatically re-installed in the appropriate folder. This is a quick and safe operation: All your settings will be preserved.

Tacview ignores any dcs_variant.txt file. Instead, it simply installs the exporter in all %USERPROFILE%\Saved Games\DCS.*\ folders found on your system.

If the automatic installation has failed, you can manually install the exporter yourself by copying the content of C:\Program Files (x86)\Tacview\DCS\ (Mods and Scripts folder) in your %USERPROFILE%\Saved Games\DCS\ folder.

To allow real-time telemetry for whoever has a password while still enforcing a 10-minute anti-cheat delay for everyone, enable real-time telemetry and add a password.

For each instance of DCS go to Saved Games\DCS.INSTANCE\Config\options.lua and add to the Tacview options the following, using your own desired file path:

You can choose where flight data is stored by navigating to Options -> ACMI Files Recording Folder in Tacview. Do not forget to re-launch DCS World (or, even Steam, depending on your version) afterward so this new setting is properly propagated to the exporter.

To prevent cheating, some hosts are disabling data export. You can check the server options in the DCS World multiplayer lobby window. You can either record your flight afterward by playing back the track file automatically generated by DCS World for each multiplayer flight in the %USERPROFILE%\Saved Games\DCS\Tracks\ folder. Or you can ask the host to enable data export (see below).

Tacview exporter is a module of DCS World. You should see its icon at the bottom of DCS World main menu screen. A dedicated control panel is also available under the SPECIAL tab in DCS World OPTIONS page. See below for more details about the available options.

CheapDCS setup

To enforce a 10-minute delay for everyone and to not allow real-time telemetry for anyone, simply disable real-time telemetry. Because this option does not completely prevent clients from analyzing their flight, it is a much more elegant way to prevent cheating than completely disabling data export using DCS World options.

When you choose Record one flight per client under Multiplayer Flights - As Host, instead of recording the whole mission in a single file, Tacview exporter will create one separate file for each client connected to your session. One file is created in a folder named after the corresponding pilot as soon as the client joins the session. The same file is closed as soon as the client leaves the session.

If you think that you have found a data recording bug, it is a good idea to use this option before reproducing the issue. The resulting acmi file will contain more detailed information about events and objects which will help a lot to debug Tacview. This option does not affect performance, but it produces slightly bigger files.

To edit Tacview options on the dedicated server, open %USERPROFILE%\Saved Games\DCS_DEDICATED_SERVER\Config\Options.lua and edit the options manually:

Remember Tacview must be installed on the dedicated server for this to work. Follow these steps to install Tacview on your server.

Some of you may have noticed that, in some circumstances, you can lose precious fps while recording your flight within DCS World. This could be particularly annoying on low end computers as well as on VR setups where each frame per second matter. See our dedicated page for a detailed explanation of the causes and ideas for workarounds.

Unless you do not plan to review your flights or you need maximum frame-rate while playing in DCS World, this option should always be enabled. Disabling this option will not prevent clients connected to your server to record flight data on their side. See Real-Time Telemetry options for that.

By default, while flying, you can press RAlt + B to inject a bookmark in the recorded data. Bookmarks will be displayed in Tacview time line and events log. Use bookmarks to put the emphasis on a specific phase of your flight and to make your debriefings more comfortable.

If you have other add-ons using the %USERPROFILE%\Saved Games\DCS_DEDICATED_SERVER\Scripts\Export.lua file, be careful not to overwrite it - just make sure the Tacview line is in there:

When an aircraft exceeds a certain amount of damage, DCS World stops exporting its data, which can cause the above-mentioned issues.

When you are creating a multiplayer session in DCS World, you can specify which data can be exported (recorded) by the clients connected to your session. Simply click on Advanced and make sure that all the export options are allowed. Please read below to learn more about additional options which are specific to Tacview exporter.

If you can't find any file, then the exporter is either not installed, wrongly installed, or there is another script from another add-on which prevents Tacview scripts proper execution.

No, never! Tacview only modifies a few files saved in the %USERPROFILE%\Saved Games\DCS\ folder. At no moment you need to run it in administrator mode or in some kind of compatibility mode to make this work.

To have no 10-minute delay on your server and to allow anyone to connect through real-time telemetry, simply enable real-time telemetry and leave the password blank.

To start using Tacview with DCS World, simply run the Tacview installer. Now any flight you make in DCS World will generate an ACMI file in your %USERPROFILE%\Documents\Tacview\ folder. Tacview does not need to be running.

No. Mission files have nothing to do with data export! Your mission file will be shared with all other players regardless of your server settings. For example, anyone can extract your mission file from the .trk file automatically recorded by DCS World!

This option can be very handy for permanent servers. For example, the generated files can be directly saved in an cloud folder like Dropbox so each pilot can download his flight data right after his mission. You can also use this option to save CPU on your client side. By not recording the data themselves, your clients will enjoy a smoother experience, especially while flying in VR.

By default, Tacview records all DCS World flights in %USERPROFILE%\Documents\Tacview\ folder. If you can't find any flight data in this folder, then search for any *.zip.acmi files on your hard drive. If you find your flight recordings in an unexpected folder or you can't find them at all, then your script is either not properly working or not properly configured.

It is also possible to customize a 60, 120, 300, 600,1200 or 1800 second delay. Add the option ["tacviewPlaybackDelay"] if it is not already there, and make sure Real Time Telemetry is off:

Tacview data recorder always use the server option. If Tacview is not detected on the server, a delay of 10 minutes will be applied. In that case, as a client, you may want to stay connected 10 more minutes after the end of your flight to make sure all the data you want to review has been recorded.

By default, Tacview records all DCS World flight in %USERPROFILE%\Documents\Tacview\ folder. Search for any *.zip.acmi files on your hard drive to make sure that your flights are not stored in an unexpected place. This may happen when the export folder is not properly configured. If your flights are recorded in the wrong folder, please check below to learn how to change the recording folder.

Installing and uninstalling add-ons usually messes-up DCS World configuration. It is usual to find an old script, not fully uninstalled, still active, which is triggering an error and preventing the execution of Tacview script. In that case you can find and remove the faulty script or Lua code easily:

Tacview officially supports the Eagle Dynamic store, Steam edition, as well as the Open Beta versions of DCS World. Older versions like Black Shark or the vanilla Flaming Cliffs are no longer supported.

Tacview natively includes terrain elevation data files for all DCS maps. However if Tacview's entire team gets hit by a bus one day, you may use this tool to export terrain for new maps. If you use this option be sure to disable it immediately after, because it is extremely slow.

Alternatively, copy the contents of C:\Program Files (x86)\Tacview\DCS\ (Mods and Scripts folder) in your %USERPROFILE%\Saved Games\DCS_DEDICATED_SERVER\ folder.

After creating a new DCS World Dedicated server, re-run the Tacview installer (version 1.8.0 or above) in order to install Tacview on the dedicated server.

If you have multiple versions of DCS World installed on your system, you may want to copy the exporter in all of your %USERPROFILE%\Saved Games\DCS.*\ folders. If you are using third party scripts with DCS World, *DO NOT* copy C:\Program Files (x86)\Tacview\DCS\Scripts\Export.lua in your DCS World script folder. Just add the following line in your current %USERPROFILE%\Saved Games\DCS\Scripts\Export.lua script:

No, you don’t. Your flights are recorded by a module which is part of DCS World. Tacview main application is mainly used for debriefing and analysis, not for data recording.
