Command Professional Edition 64: Tacview

3D Objects

To ensure that the best possible 3D representation is used for each object, run Tacview with the following command-line option (but change the path to the corresponding one on your computer):

/ResourceFolder:"C:\Program Files (x86)\Command Professional Edition 2\Resources\Tacview\"

or in some cases:

/ResourceFolder:"C:\ProgramData\Command Professional Edition 2\Resources\Tacview\"

Check the Tacview log generated when Tacview is used within Command Professional Edition to find the correct path (the log is located in %TEMP%/Tacview/):

Terrain Elevation and Textures

To display the same terrain elevation and textures in Tacview as in C:PE,

• Download the elevation files and place them in the folder %ProgramData%\Tacview\Data\Terrain\SRTM30\.

• Download the texture files and place them in:%ProgramData%\Tacview\Data\Terrain\Textures\

To keep your system operating at peak performance, it is recommended to take only the tiles that you need in order to run your favourite campaigns and battles.

Close and re-launch Tacview in order to view the textures.
