Database Builder

Use Database Builder to specify a Type for all Aircraft, Watercraft, Warship and Anti-Aircraft assets. This will ensure that Tacview uses an appropriate 3d model during replay based on callsigns which were specified in the GPX and EAG files.

In Tacview, navigate to Add-Ons -> Database Builder

Open Database Builder

Use the tool to enter the details of each Aircraft, Watercraft, Warship, or Anti-Aircraft group. Optionally specify an engagement range for ships and SAMs, which will be displayed in Tacview as a dynamic hemisphere surrounding the unit. If you do not specify an engagement range, a default one may apply. Save your file in %ProgramData%\Tacview\Data\Database\Default Properties\

Fill Database Builder

Your custom database is now saved so that it will be automatically loaded every time Tacview is launched.

Troubleshooting:

If the Database Builder add-on is not showing in the add-on menu, installing the following libraries should help:

Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studioarrow-up-right
