VTOL VR

Thank you to the community for creating the following program which converts VTOL VR Tactical Replay Files into ACMI Files for Tacview!

The following was working for us when we tested it in April 2026:

Download and Installation

Install VTReplayConverter from:

https://github.com/LSantos2003/VTReplayConverter

From the right panel click Releases (currently 1.1.6 from 2025-11-28)

https://github.com/LSantos2003/VTReplayConverter/releases

download and run Setup.msi

Converting Files

Launch VTReplayConverter from the Start Menu

You should see a list of recordings in the left of the window.

Open Replays Folder opens a file explorer window to the folder %APPDATA%\Boundless Dynamics\LLC\VTOLVR\SaveData\Replays\ which contain autosaves such as:

C:\Users\vyrtu\AppData\Roaming\Boundless Dynamics, LLC\VTOLVR\SaveData\Replays\Autosave 1\
	info.cfg
	heightmap.pngb
	replay.vtr

Click on Open Tacview Folder to open an explorer window

%APPDATA%\VTReplayConverter\TACVIEW SAVES\

where you will find the corresponding ACMI file which is readable directly by Tacview.

Autosave 1.acmi

Terrain and Meshes

VTReplayConverter automatically creates the appropriate elevation map and 3D models in:

C:\ProgramData\Tacview\Data\Meshes\

C:\ProgramData\Tacview\Data\Terrain\Custom\

The acmi files directly reference the 3D models, so no XML database is required:
