Online Debriefing Host
With Tacview, online debriefings can be performed during which all participants open the same ACMI file and the debriefing host can control that ACMI file throughout the debriefing.
The host and the client(s) must open the same ACMI file in Tacview’s 3D view (or their respective ACMI files recorded from the same session). Tacview will not transfer any terrain, static objects or media files, so ensure that the clients have access to these files before beginning the debriefing.
To be a client of an online debriefing, Tacview Standard is required. To host an online debriefing, Tacview Advanced is required.
Host Instructions
If you are planning on debriefing on Internet, make sure the online debriefing port (by default, 42673) is properly redirected on your router. If you are debriefing over a LAN, make sure the port is open on your firewall.
Open Recording -> Online Debriefing
For a debriefing on Internet, let your clients know your Public IP Address.
For a debriefing on a LAN, let your clients know your Local IP Address (open a command prompt and type ipconfig to find it).
If an IPv6 address is displayed in the dialogue box but you prefer to use your IPv4 address, go ahead and share your IPv4 with your clients and have them enter that on their end - the connections should be successful.
Click Host to launch an online debriefing session. Details will be displayed in the bottom left corner.
Click on participants to transer instructor privileges. The current instructor will be flagged instructor and a message will appear at the top of the screen.
The host or instructor may control time and cameras and may select objects, which will be reflected on everyone’s screens. Any objects that are created or deleted by the host or instructor will not be visible to other participant.
Hold down SHIFT to display a laser pointer which can be moved around with the mouse. Host and any client may SHIFT+CLICK on an object to highlight it for everyone.
To end the session, go to Recording → Online Debriefing and click the End Session button in the connection window. All clients will be disconnected, regardless of who has control.
