When files viewed in Tacview there is little to no data present, only a few seconds of a couple planes. TacviewLogger Version 2.7 VTOL version 1.6.5

same here, i tried it several times. I even turned off all the mods except the tacview logger cause maybe that could have caused incompatibilities, but the mod simply barely logs anything, and if it does, its completely braindead information that is entirely false and only a few seconds, at least in my case.

I had the same problem, I think due to the recent radar changes updating the RadarLockData.actor property, which resulted in a bunch of errors when trying to capture player data. I rebuilt the mod locally with the latest VTOL assembly and it works again. Hopefully the mod owners will rebuild and reupload sometime soon (no pressure, we're grateful this exists in the first place)!

i still have this issue. how do i rebuild the mod myself so i can get it working? or do you have the working copy of the mod. thanks

Hi @icantreadmycode! Roughly, you need to:

  1. Download this repository
  2. Open the .sln in Visual Studio
  3. Choose Build -> Build Solution
  4. Address any build errors (mainly linking the necessary dependencies, which you can find in Steam\steamapps\common\VTOL VR\VTOLVR_Data\Managed and Steam\steamapps\common\VTOL VR\VTOLVR_ModLoader)
  5. Update the Post-build event command (Project > Properties > Build Events) to copy the build into Steam\steamapps\common\VTOL VR\VTOLVR_ModLoader\mods\Tacview_Data_Logger

Adjust based on your install directories. Feel free to let me know if you run into issues! I'll look into uploading a working copy.

Thanks @dtwoodall, much appreciated! Are you on the discord at all? Ping me.

@dtwoodall +1, worked like a charm. Any way I can help get this fix out to the masses? This is a great tool which VTOL VR sorely lacks.

Hey @Neefay, glad you got it working! I just sent an updated build to the mod owner, so hopefully they will be able to upload it to the mod website soon. Unfortunately this may break again with any update and it's challenging for mod owners to keep up. Hopefully someday we'll get something like this built into the game 🤞
